"Phew... that's about it for today"
A dark room without a single light.
Rosé, a vampire, can do his job in such a room without any problems.
I can turn the lights on otherwise, but there was a reason I didn't dare.
One is because by turning on the lights, the control of the bats is blunt, albeit to the extent of error.
And the other, to cause mental damage to the subject.
"It's also hard to say that lethal quantities are critical. But it was Mr. Richter's orders."
Rosé uses bats, his family members, to reduce the subject's blood to the point where critical life activity can be maintained.
If the subject was a man, control was still easy, but unfortunately because she was a woman, delicate adjustments were required.
"... that? You're not dead, are you? I'm sure you didn't make a mistake."
"... do... kill me"
"Oh, good. I thought I was dead by mistake. Mr. Sizuk... Was it"
Ho and Rose grate their shoulders.
Months after Sizuk was imprisoned in this room.
It was difficult to confirm life and death because he was losing energy day by day.
At first, I used to cry out all day for help, but after a week, it's gone.
Did you realize it was heartbreaking and futile?
I miss when I was lining up insulting words against Richt.
"... how long do you do this? Are you having fun doing this...?
"I don't get it. This is also Richt's instruction, so ask Richt when it will end - I don't think so."
The response to Sizk becomes like unintentionally cutting off hope.
Richt rarely visits this room.
If I were to visit, that would be when Sizku died by mistake.
"What did Atashi and the others do to you..."
"I don't resent you guys, but if you talk too much, it just hurts."
It's a day to talk - Rose dismisses her family from Shizuku's arms in disdain.
That concludes the week's work.
Sizuk's health has been adjusted to such an extent that his tongue cannot be chewed out, and maintenance of the restraint has been completed.
"Then may I be excused?
"... wait"
Sizuk whines about Richt.
"Let me talk to Richt... please. Just once..."
"... I'll see you next week"
Batan and heavy doors are closed and the sound of locking securely enters the ears of the sizzle.
The slight light when opening the door is also between bundles.
Shizuku was wrapped in the original darkness.
Maybe Rose will tell Richt.
With such pale hope, Sizuk will have another week.
