“Subject No.
175.
Such a dreadfully terrifying brat.”

“That’s probably why he has survived so far.”

“Is it? I heard most of the other subjects are dead.”

On the other side of the hallway, researchers in white robes were chatting among themselves.
There was only one way to Emilian’s cell, so I just had to run into them.
One of the men looked at me as I held a tray of bread and soup bowl, and said,

“Are you an errand boy?”

“Ah, you haven’t been here long, so you don’t know.
This child is assigned to Subject 175.”

“I guess you take care of meals everyday.”

“It’ll be troublesome if he dies.
The director has high expectations for this experiment.”


They soon withdrew their interest in me and moved on.

I put the tray down in front of the boy.
When the wall-mounted device was manipulated, the length of the chains restraining the boy’s arms grew longer.

“Emil, eat before it gets cold.”

But instead of picking up the spoon, Emilian looked at me softly.
He said, blinking his long eyelashes,

“Today was very painful and difficult…”

As he raised his eyes, ruby-like pupils fluttered.


“Can’t you feed me?”
