"...I want to know, do you have to suck blood? If you don't, what will happen?" This question had troubled Fiona Schmidt for quite some time.
Although Tara Summer had explained that Norton Abyss needed to suck blood when he became ill, she hadn't said what would happen if he didn't.
"If I don't..." The man furrowed his brow. He didn't answer the question directly but pinpointed the crucial issue. If he didn't suck blood, his body would weaken by tomorrow and become even more unstable, forcing him to endure the seven days of rebirth all over again.
So these seven days were extremely critical. He didn't want to waste previous time, and the sooner he got through these seven days, the quicker he could resolve Rudy's matter and find Nine!
Of course, Norton Abyss would never reveal these reasons to Fiona. He merely smiled softly and said, "My illness will worsen..."
"Worsen?" Fiona leaned forward, trying to get a clearer look at the man's face.
