99 What is the cost of living?

I didn't know what it was, but I positioned myself in front of her and was struck while protecting her. Not even half a second passed before a very strong headache emerged. I held my head and let out a slight grunt, which caught Valentina's attention in my lap, who was startled by the change in position seconds ago. Quickly, she asked, "Are you okay, Dante?" Inquiring, she knew about what Lilith had done to my body, but she had assured that nothing strange was inside me. Still, concern knocked on her door. "There's something wrong," I said, feeling strong pulsations not only in my head but also in my heart, as if I were being constantly regenerated.
