This was the first-night Ioris was able to sleep peacefully after every night she was in pain, and I didn't know how to calm her down other than to hold her tightly. She said she was thirsty but couldn't be quenched with water as usual.
I even gave up my blood for her to suck, but she still didn't want to. Until Paula came and brought her homemade potion, which she said would only suppress the venom temporarily so Ioris wouldn't be in pain all day. As a result, she slept like a puppy.
I wasn't sad that she kept refusing to make love to me. I was just worried about her. Her hair started to fall out more, and she always wore a beanie or hoodie jacket wherever she went. Her skin started to look gray with visible veins, and her teeth looked sharper and weirder.
