< Chapter 3 >
“Did you endure the whole thing to the end? You should have just fainted gracefully when you needed to. You really have a stubborn side to you.”
It was the day after the pain tolerance training had ended. Ilay Carthica, who came to see me, spoke in a way that made it hard to tell if he was praising or mocking me. Probably a bit of both.
“I managed to hold out.”
I answered shortly as I drank some water. My mouth burned, my throat felt raw, and my fingertips trembled sporadically. I lost my balance without realizing it whenever I walked.
The aftereffects of the pain tolerance training lingered heavily in my body. I would need several days of treatment and rest to fully recover.
“Haha, that eye patch suits you. For a moment, I thought a space pirate had shown up.”
Ilay said, looking at my face.
“Once my nervous system recovers, I’m scheduled to get a mechanical eye implanted. It’s a better model than yours.”
