So, let's start by talking about burns, there are three (medically) types of burns, 1st degree is your skin is slight red (typically sunburns), 2nd degree is blisters around the site, and 3rd degree is what Perfect and Tansy have, in which your flesh suffers permanent damage. It can take weeks to MONTHS for 3rd degree burns to heal, sometime even years. So that means it has to be at least weeks after the fire happened, or the creator just didn't want to get punished by the ST for g0r3- But let's ignore that possibility for now. If all of the clans' land is still ash, (plants generally grow back after three weeks) so some kind of chemicals have to be involved, AND IN FALLOUT, THE WORLD IS EFFECTED BY RADIATION, (RIGHT???? I THINK???), so it's reasonable to assume that this takes place after all the uh... stuff-(??) Also cats are generally more resistant to radiation. Now, to the caution tape, why would there be an abundant supply of caution tape? Well, perhaps human authorities severely taped the area off due to an access amount of radiation, but why did they not put up a fence instead? Or perhaps they didn't want to spent money to fix their mistake Now, what caused the radiation? It's safe to assume that it was not an atomic bomb, because that would not cause a wildfire without people knowing, because guess what, flash fires, you'd see the light if you weren't close enough to it without being turned into carbon, or getting seriously burnt. So it has to be nuclear waste that are both highly radiated enough to keep humans away and cause irreversible damage to plants. But it also has to be flammable enough to cause such a LARGE wildfire. Also, random question, I noticed that Moon did not seem to have burns, despite being seen in the fire, is she like a crytid or something?? (Joke- Just joking- Don't take that seriously-) But in all seriousness, why did she not get burnt? Despite Tansy getting her retinas burnt out and getting burn scars directly to her face. Was this like, 'I forgot to give her burn scars' or is 'Moon just flawless enough to not get burnt'? Back to Tansy's burns, she had to be out long enough for her scars to fully heal, she may have had some waking moments where she was able to eat and drink something so she wouldn't sleep with the fishes, but I doubt she remembers them, I'm betting that Moon knocked her out so Tansy wouldn't be in too much pain though, since that sometimes is done with people who have third degree burns in hospitals while they heal. I MIGHT BE WRONG ON SOME THINGS, I'M NOT A MEDICAL EXPERT, I'M JUST A BOY SCOUT WHO KNOWS BURNS-
