Blood contract
Alfred heard Anesthesia's sarcastic comments, and it made his entire mind shake.
"Veronica won't ever open her eyes, Alfred. Only my blood can heal her since I carry the origin of the poison."
[Swoosh]
There was such a strong wind blowing that it echoed. Alfred forgot to blink. So, the only option was Anesthesia.
Anesthesia said, "But I can assist you since I can't see you upset."
Alfred's heart skipped a beat. He lacked the strength to turn to face her or lift his blade. It appeared that Anesthesia had already possessed him.
Without turning to face her, Alfred spoke while his voice was quivering.
"What have you said? Is she?"
Anesthesia grinned and said the same thing again.
"If you cooperate with me, I can assist you. I may give my blood to you."
Anesthesia was obviously attempting to strike a deal with Alfred. She would therefore go the extra step to keep Alfred on her side.
