#Chapter73
/"Why would they do this to a little child? It sounds so mentally and physically depreciating! Aren't they human?/"
/"That's the problem.They are human,/" Akagi said.
'They are human—This seems so painful to hear from him.' Vierne thought.
/"Those who bullied you were also human. The one due to whom Lict got a curse, was also a former human. It's always been this way—Humans have been hurting us since ages. And we have been collecting that pain and anger within us—And now it's destroying us on the inside./"
/"Why did you never tell anyone about this?/" Lict asked.
/"Nobody asked because nobody was there. It was just those four walls and me for so long that my eyes forgot what light looked like. After a year of starvation, the hunger died and my body functions stopped just like you./"
