"I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with it. Why are you looking at me with that expression? It's clearly for the sake of more knowledge and efficiency. It's not up to standard, so it's been discarded."

"He's a child, an individual with life and knowledge, capable of speaking... I should go, I should go home..."

"...Sigh, even though it's a defective product, I don't think it should be taken away without even a word, right?" The tone was calm, just like when they first met. "If possible, I'd like to dissect it. Don't worry, your body won't die. I just want to know why your body is so amazing. That eyeball must be yours..."

"...Then promise me one more thing: no matter what, you must not abandon this child."

"This was originally the last one, so don't worry. But if it can put your mind at ease, I will keep my promise. You know I would never lie to you."

The task was simple: she lay calmly on the experimental platform, covered with a white sheet, holding a small knife that could easily cut through the skin, her eyes fixed on the other person.

"..."

"...You can still refuse now, but the pain will come when you actually start doing it. We're friends, so you can refuse once."

"I have nothing more to say. Do it. It's no problem for me. I can hold back..."

The blade lightly grazed the skin, and the cool touch was not excessive; at least, I thought I could bear it. The other party took in every reaction.

Those eyes trembled slightly from the pain, as if the pain was too much, and became somewhat unfocused, but quickly returned to normal.

They meticulously cut open the hand, each finger, each piece of skin, finally separating every joint of the fingers. The other person's body quickly grew back to its original state, but what had been cut off was something that had truly existed...

"Next, I'm going to cut off the torso."

I felt a chill on my skin, followed by pain. It was a bit too much, but I could still bear it as my skin was peeled off, revealing the bloody flesh underneath. Although I didn't move much, I could barely see the part that had been thrown off, which looked a bit like the meat I had eaten before.

Actually, there's not much difference. Humans and other animals are both meat, it's just that no one eats humans... Oh, I forgot, those monsters that feed on humans do eat them.

Her body seemed to have been completely torn apart and then completely reassembled. It would have taken a lot of effort to remove each bone, but she actually did it, and in the end, it was her face.

Thinking back, I was so close to succeeding. The method used was something I couldn't have imagined at the time—to completely open up the body and allow the medication to penetrate the bone…

You could ask them for a favor, but there's really no need for that...

That force has become a part of my life; I can't separate from it, at least not until I decide to give up everything in another way.

"This part is also complete. Next, I will cut off your face. Don't worry, it will just be a normal research process like before, and there will be a little pain..."

The knife slowly sliced ​​across my face, as if tearing my entire face off. A lot of my hair was also cut off. The other person deliberately held back, so I didn't hear the sound of the knife cutting through bone. It didn't seem like there was anything seriously wrong, but it sounded... Ah, I can't hear anymore. It hasn't healed yet. What he just cut off must be the nerve connection system of my ear. Speaking of which, can dissecting me really make her more skilled?

I heard a sound; it turned out to be another accidental cut to the bone, but I didn't see it because my eyes had been removed.

The pain when they cut off my tongue jolted me awake. Luckily, my eyelids hadn't fully healed yet, or you would definitely see me frowning...

After it was over, I lay calmly on the table. I don't know how much time had passed when I heard the other person put the last tool back in its place.

"...It's over, my friend, let's go..."

“We’re not friends, but I can’t go against my heart and continue saying these things to you. I know you’re a genius, I know you’re amazing, I know you don’t have much humanity, but you’ve hurt a lot of people… I can’t ignore the pain you’ve caused them, so I’ve decided to face it, which means telling you my true feelings.”

He sat up from the platform and put his clothes back on. The white cloth was stained with blood and smelled strongly of his own blood.

"If you want to keep it as a souvenir, you can take this piece of fabric with you..."
