Hilise was gripped by the employees and cried in terror.
"Oh... Father...! Please don't do that, please..."
But the weakened body remained motionless, and the employees held Hilise' arms tighter forward.
"No, no, no, no, Dad! It's my fault. From today, I will eat whatever my father gives me! So please, please..."
Hillis begged, sobbing her face out of fear.
"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to cover your eyes properly?"
"Sorry, I'm sorry!"
As Diego was doing the experiment, unfortunately for Hillise, the method seemed to work.
The color of her hair slowly began to fade. But it was only looking' to the extent that it worked.
Hillise's performance was more vital than she imagined.
The tiny force ran wild for days and days, as if to drive out Callicia's blood that penetrated the body.

Gabriel, who couldn't overcome her curiosity and secretly came to see Diego. After seeing Hillise, she freaked out and walked away.
However, after some time, the pain faded and her condition returned to its original state.
Diego, of course, disapproved, and he never stopped experimenting with it.
Every time Hilise met Diego's eyes, which felt even a faint sense of madness, she felt a vivid fear that had never been before.
One day, Diego stood beside her bed when she woke up from a faint.
He looked down at Hilise uncomfortably and said.
"It's for you, too. Wouldn't it be better for you to just finish it as soon as possible if it's something you have to do anyway? The longer you drag it, the longer the pain."
That's when it first arose in her, she still couldn't find a word to explain what those emotions were.
She wanted to ask Diego sometimes.
(Isn't it simpler to kill me?')
Maybe Diego thought it was mercy. But does that mean she should be grateful?
Callicia's blood was not only killing Hillise's power, it was slowly eating away at her.
This time again, Hillise was as thin as an old tree. Her body cannot take it anymore and so it stopped healing. The mere sight was very terrible.
(A Monster)
Diego, Ricardo, and some of the employees, occasionally traveling to and from Hillise's room, looked at her like a disgusting monster.

"Help me..." Help me, brother."
Ricardo, who had come to check on Hillise's condition on behalf of Diego, reflexively avoided Hillise's hand, which was filled with black mud.
But unintentionally, he dangled his lips and looked down at Hilise with a faint sense of embarrassment.
"I, I... I'm sick. I'm so sick... ..I'm going to die again. Please help me, please..."
Hillise sobbed and pleaded.
A voice that was so cracked that she didn't want to hear fell through her breath.
