"Many of our sick disappeared into the sea. Odd, that." is a quote from Pipton.

Interesting quote of line, as I would assume sickness meaning the curse of the gnaw, and the sea would mean they ended up somewhere else since they're fish, they wouldn't have any trouble swimming to about, anywhere, but my theory is that they weren't civilized when they arrived in land (Maybe the base game or Shipwreck) since Sammy said that he had cravings for fish, which the merm drops in the main game, and the fish would trigger the merm genes if they eat it or something like that, and because of that effect, the cursed people wouldn't be like the merms we see in The Gorge. Another one would be the sea itself since it can affect the merms with water, maybe they were swimming in it long enough that they forgot who they were once in the past, and water can help the curse even go faster to taking over your brain or something, I'm not too sure at this point. It also can be how long you've been cursed, as we don't know when Sammy or Pipton was cursed, but I'd assume they were cursed recently as we can see at the lower scales of Mumsy. I don't know where i'm going with this now.
