"Insulin?" He blinked. "...What?"
Eve's now fragile demeanour looked like a lie Damon didn't wish to believe, but the more he looked at her, the more he started to trust that this wasn't just a lie.
Her already pale face turned even paler, her eyes looked as if she couldn't focus, swaying across the entire store without purpose.
"I'm diabetic..." she whispered, as if scared to admit her weakness.
Damon turned to Kitsune with a confused look. "Is that even possible? Do illnesses not go away with mana?"
She lingered for a moment before replying. "Not at first. Once your vitality rises high enough, even chronic illnesses go away, but before that... their effects might even grow stronger due to your body's enhanced output."
"I see," Damon replied, nodding along to the explanation.
'Then the reason she collapsed after she removed the ring was probably that her vitality suddenly dropped,' he thought more to himself than to Kitsune.
Damon turned back toward Eve.
