A painful lesson to learn. Don't underestimate safety in the Hollow.
Really, don't overestimate your Ether aptitude, especially if your score isn't very high...

Yesterday, my childhood friend and I took a commission to go find something in a Hollow but stayed too long. Within minutes, crystals had formed on my friend's body and he lost his senses. He couldn't talk straight. I managed to pull him out but he's still in a coma in the hospital and the doctors say he's only one step away from becoming fully corrupt. And because I didn't give him the inhibitor in time (it's too expensive, and we didn't take it seriously), he'd suffered internal damage to several organs...

I don't ever feel like going near a Hollow ever again...

Luckily he wasn't completely corrupted, otherwise you might've met your end in the Hollow as well... It's no joke. Once someone becomes corrupted, they can become crazy strong, and because they retain some human characteristics, they're sometimes even tougher to fight than Ethereals.

Sigh, feels like there's always this kind of thread popping up every now and again on Inter-Knot... I wish the OP's friend all the best.

Doesn't matter if you're a Hollow Raider or an investigator, I know too many people who've given up this line of work because of people getting corrupted before their very eyes.

Sometimes too much exposure to the Hollows can blind you to these hidden dangers. Especially Hollow Raiders, they spend most of their time trying to avoid other people in the Hollows. Perhaps many of them have never seen someone get corrupted before.
