1. Would they offer any useful information if Ciel were to ask things like how they got the poisoning? Are there any former Patho-Gen employees he can gently prod (under the guise of being a curious youth/trying to be helpful)? Would the babblers have anything interesting to say amidst their nonsense?
2. Would Riddle be immediately locked down in naptime after this? Or would they let him use his powers if he didn't seem to be aware what he was doing at first (He tends to just throw out his collars when he'd mad and throwing a tantrum, not to intentionally subvert anything- but once he catches on he would do it purposefully).

These individuals are largely standard citizens, nothing remarkable. How'd they get arcane radiation poisoning? Oh, from various things... Some were farmers, trying to make a living while doing important work out in what fields they could get to. Over time, arcane radiation managed to take its toll between the small plots of farmland that were protected... Other patients may say that they were trying to do charity work for outer city defectors, and managed to become too exposed. Citizens can take small dips into open air, but that time is very short, and it accumulates.
There is one patient with something of note to say, who is a bit further along. They have a sort of rugged disposition, and don't care for idle chitchat or reminiscing. They lived their life impoverished. They were paid a lot money to run errands out in The Woods. They took on the job because they wanted to go out there and live, and the money they earned could go to their friends. Who paid them? Various guilds, not unlike the Velvet Claw, passed these jobs along; the identity of whoever asked for these jobs to be done was none of their business. They will say that yes, others do take these jobs on with the promise of money, at the expense of their health... but with the Augmented here now, they don't think these jobs will be around for much longer. They seem to have mixed feelings about that: it was an opportunity for them, but the cost was devastating. You're free to have them come at this from either angle. They might be interested to watch Riddle use his powers for a bit, but the moment Patho-Gen themselves felt threatened by it, that's when they'd put him into naptimezone, and only for long enough to move him safely out of any power-permitting zones.
