To sum up the explanations John and ANI provided:

The Malnosso were fiddling with the barrier and did something wrong. We became 'unprotected,' and this led to certain individuals being possessed by the spirits. The new forms assumed -hybrids, as he referred to them- are considered abominations; they were apparently so dangerous, the Malnosso decided that death was the only solution. John made an agreement with them, and somehow flushed the spirits' influences and repaired the barrier. Those affected are feeling ill as an aftermath, but have returned to how they were before.

Facts

-John referred to the hyrbids also as a form of evolution.
-The Malnosso are familiar with whatever the hybrids are, and fear them.
-The spirits weren't "meant" to exist.
-ANI said the effects of this phenomenon are world-wide (those within the Malnosso were also affected, and detained).
-The weakening/altering of the barrier allowed this to happen.
-John can repair issues with the barrier the Malnosso can't, and raise barriers on his own.
-Most affected had a certain affinity with the spirit that possessed them.
-Most of the unaffected didn't have any sort of elemental affinity.

My conclusions

-Those affected outside the barrier are still affected.
-Whatever the affected turned into are somehow related to whatever the Malnosso believe they're "protecting" us from. Possibly the third party itself.

Any input from anybody?

From stories and what have you. I mean Malnosso is Spanish or something and Filial is a word to put things in relation sons or daughters, just archaic. This place is full of cliches already.

I'm really not very familiar with any of those cliches, Haruki.

...Come on man, this is "demented utopia" written all over it. We even have little angel wings.

Not my utopia. Besides, I'm sure every world has its own idea of what a utopia would be like.

It's not my ideal, but it's a classic utopia. No one needs to work, everyone has sex with everyone, it doesn't seem like too many people good heartbroken, people get over trauma fast, the air is clear, there's running water, the vast majority of people are so nice that in Tokyo you'd walk all over them, it's relatively safe sans the Malnosso...

And most importantly the society doesn't require anyone to work but you still have all the food and stuff you'd ever need. Plus there's no discrimination.

...er...that...

...What?

...never mind.

...Whatever.
