- ↑ The illness Rekha is referencing is the COVID-19 virus, as during the pandemic, it was a widespread superstition that the virus was caused by satellite, radio waves, and cell networks, referred to as "5G", which simply stands for the fifth generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks. It is unclear how this illness is translated in-universe.
