When I heard Vincent's words, I immediately understood exactly what was going on beside Vincent.
Pen?
Interesting?

infoActually, for this situation, to be honest, I still need to apologize to Vincent.
If he hadn't met me, Vincent would have been doing his job as hospital director.
"Vincent, I already understand what's going on around you."
Without waiting for Vincent to continue, I said.
"Do you understand?"
When Vincent heard me say this, he whispered a word as well, and then fell silent.
His brow furrowed slightly, and his gaze was fixed on the earth.
I also felt a little sad to see Vincent like this, and I grabbed his hand, and now, his hand was cold, and there was no temperature at all.
"I'm sorry, Vincent, if you hadn't met me, if I hadn't captured you, humanity wouldn't have embarrassed you. It's all my fault. β
Now, I do blame myself deeply.
"Don't say that, Lyle."
Eventually, Vincent exhaled heavily, "Actually, I also want to thank you, Lyle, for meeting you as if it was a gift from heaven that you changed my fate." If I hadn't met you, Lyle, I might still have been the doctor, a human being, through a quiet life. However, now, because I met you, you have made me see the other side of human beings clearly, and when human beings face aliens, the kind of rejection and blows are almost cruel. In particular, it is a situation where it is as if it is a natural enemyγγγγγγ β
Hearing Vincent say this, I nodded, "Vincent, you're right, it's understandable for humans to be like this, and it's also to protect themselves. β
"If you look at things from a different angle, everything changes."
Vincent's face gradually became heavy.
"Yes, a lot of things, just based on reason, don't make sense."
I said.
"Alright, Lyle, do you want to listen to my story?"
Eventually, Vincent lifted his face again and looked at me.
"Yes, Vincent, I'm sorry, but, to be honest, I'm really curious about your story."
I'll be honest.
"Well, then, Lyle, listen to my story."
Vincent was silent for a moment, then continued.
"Lyle, since the last time I was separated from you, I came to the hospital alone. To be honest, it wasn't that long since you and I left the hospital, but when I got back to the hospital, it really changed a lot. β
At this point, Vincent paused for a moment, looking a little difficult, but he continued, "For humans, once vampires exist, they spread too quickly like a plague. It's like a disease, originally the place was clean and there was nothing. However, if the first vampire appeared one day, then the spread of the plague began, and this speed of transmission can be described almost to the power of how much. Because people who are turned into vampires, in order to survive, they need to turn more people into vampires. So, although the time is not too long, but the hospital is locked up more and more people who have just become vampires, and the hospital, which is not seen for a while, is full of the screams of those vampires who have been captured by humans. β
Vincent said, unconsciously, his eyes red.
"I'm sorry, Vincent."
Seeing that Vincent was upset, I wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know what to say.
"Lyle, you don't have to say that, you didn't do anything wrong. Actually, now, I am standing before you as a vampire, and I have made this choice because I have met you, and I have met the kind of vampire who has great self-control, you are noble, superior, and noble in heart. So, in the end, I was able to get rid of the original human understanding of vampires and let myself choose this path. Actually, Lyle, I sometimes find it contradictory. I met you, and you destroyed my existence as a human being, but gave me a whole new way of life. Perhaps, in the future, I will be like you, like Julius Caesar, and become a kind of vampire that is not harmful to humans. β
Vincent said, smiling again.
"All right, Vincent, as long as you can face yourself."
Eventually, I said.
"Lyle, when I went back to the hospital again, I saw those things and I really didn't feel good. There are more and more injured people in the hospital, they are all bitten by vampires, some die not long after coming to the hospital, some become new vampires not long after, and only a few are lucky to get back to life and are still human. When I walked through the hospital gate again, I felt very uncomfortable listening to the growing wails. At that time, I wanted to kill a few more vampires to protect humanity. β
"I understand your feelings."
I said.
"Lyle, in that situation, everybody would have that kind of heart. I understand your feelings. β
I said.
"But, Lyle, as you might expect, it's not what I expected."
Vincent continued.
"Shortly after I arrived at the hospital, the mayor had me take me to him, and, after seeing him, they locked me up, in fact, they were suspicious of me, they thought I might have become a vampire."
Vincent said, his voice becoming heavy, "Lyle, that feeling of not being trusted, it's painful. And you also have that kind of childlike heart. β
"I understand you, Vincent."
I comforted him.
"Yes, Lyle, you've been through a lot more than I have. Misunderstood, even regarded as an enemyγγγγγγγ β
"It's okay, you'll come out."
I said.
"Yes, now I've come out, and I've undergone earth-shattering changes."
Vincent said.
And then, what happened? Vincent? β
I asked.
"Those days were almost the most painful time of my life. I don't have the trust of the humans to whom I have paid my loyalty, and almost everyone doubts me, Lyle, just as we humans doubted you in the first place. This pain is almost impossible to face. I languished in pain, watching the miserable fate of my companions, but being suspicious of them. I endured it, hoping that time would buy back the trust of humanity. But I was wrong. As soon as people start doubting you, this doubt will continue forever, and this belief is almost ingrained in the human brain. β
