Black Scrawl Information
Not much was known about the Black Scrawl, except that it caused a person to feel very ill and usually eventually resulted in death. It is identified by the creeping black marks and rune symbols that appeared all over the victim's body. NieR spends his time looking for more information on the disease in order to look for a cure for Yonah.
He concluded that Grimoire Weiss and the Sealed Verses were the keys to its reversal when he heard the words from the Song of the Ancients.
Lore:
Despite the belief that the Black Scrawl was a fatal disease, it was actually a malfunction in a Replicant body when their corresponding Gestalt was beginning to relapse. These were the effects that the Protagonist NieR's sister, Yonah, underwent.
