But she still regretted it.
It wasn't because of her daughter's hysterical screams or desperate pleas. It was because of the black snake that had coiled around her neck at midnight.
The black snake had slipped into her room without a sound and wrapped itself tightly around her neck. The hatred in its eyes was unmistakable, yet it never struck…
Later, she began to realize something was wrong. From bits and pieces of the Beastmen's conversations, she learned that they didn't belong on Blue Star.
'But how could they not belong on Blue Star…?'
'They must have evolved from animals.'
'Otherwise… what would all her years of hard work have been for?'
'How could she continue her subsequent research?'
'And what about her glory? Her fame and fortune… could she hold onto them?'
She admitted she was being despicable, but for the sake of everything she had, she had no choice but to feign ignorance and continue contributing to the so-called "Beastman research" with her husband.
