I kept myself awake even with the terrible weakness in my limp body and fuzzy mind, grounding my teeth. It wasn’t this terrible even against that Ghoul, however, this time around the accidental acting up of the bloodline pulled out everything it could from me, leaving a haggard, limp body.

Well, the throbbing pain was of some use now. As my mind was busy registering it, I eliminated all the thoughts of what I did. I knew someday I would’ve to do it, however, thinking of how easy it had been, taking a life, sickened me. It was likely because my mind was high on adrenaline, but I can’t deny it was I who did it. Even if the individual was some rogue, criminal, and had done many evil deeds, I felt a horrible churning in my stomach.
