Cindy Doesn't Have A Corruption Arc Because It Already Happened & It's Now Within. Someone, Something

Cindy doesn't have a corruption arc because it already happened & it's now within. Someone, something just needs to flip the switch.

After all, she's a Véghváry what did you expect

The 'water' of the Greed ring is so toxic that if Cindy takes a normal bath, even that slowly activates, reignites her spinal cord injury, making her develop onset of paralysis. Thankfully it's not permanent, only present while submerged in the water, although severe enough to extend to her respiratory muscles and lead to passing out. Once unconscious, the Phoenix Force takes over, obliterating the bathtub to pieces, if it's the Wasteland Lake, giving her enough strength to crawl out. It is extremely rare for her fire to act...not against but without her will, only happening in similar situations: the Force protecting its chosen.

After the paralysis wears off comes the burn, muscle spasms slowly decreasing in severity with time. She needs at least three days of recovery to regain proper motor skills, not counting the mental damage.

There is a reason why Cindy refuses to step foot in Sloth, especially after learning it serves as the hospital of Hell. Not only she's terrified of hospitals to no end but she has very serious substance abuse due to chronic pain. And...she knows she wouldn't want to leave after she's been put in a state where everything is fine. She has been flooring the metaphorical gas pedal since she can remember, she cannot allow herself to stop because there's no guarantee she could start again. She wants to rest, to dull the physical, mental aches so badly, but she knows the price of that decision.
