[: 3rd :]
The moment the girl sensed their presence, she immediately reacted.
Her small body jerked violently as though startled awake from a nightmare.
"W Who are you…!?"
Her frightened voice echoed throughout the empty space.
"W Why have you come here…?!"
"Cough!"
A violent cough interrupted her words as dark corrupted blood spilled from her lips again.
The girl immediately shrank backward into the corner defensively while wrapping her trembling arms around herself as fear filled her eyes.
Her body was shaking badly.
Not from anger, but terror.
Because for who knew how long, every presence that approached her only brought pain.
The dark veins spreading throughout her body pulsed again.
She whimpered painfully while trying to suppress another cough.
"D Don't come closer…"
Her voice became smaller and fragile, almost pitiful.
"I I don't want it to hurt anymore…"
Mika's expression tightened painfully at those words.
Meanwhile, Daniel stood silently.
