"So whatever she encountered in the castle…it's a form of curse?"

Kaname nodded.

He had returned with the Chairman to his office, where he could privately discuss the details of the markings on Aya's body.

"It was a ritual performed centuries ago to alter the DNA of a human into that of a vampire. She will not fall to Level E, and it is not reversible." Kaien suddenly looked years older. "I see… Well, I suppose her family will have to be informed right away…"

Kaname blinked. "This was not a ritual, however…" Cross snapped to attention once more.

"So we may be able to reverse it?" Kaname nodded again, propping his elbows upon his knees and balling his fists in front of his mouth.

"I do not know how she obtained the marks, but she obtained them within the castle, so they could not have been properly applied. The marks are spreading much slower now, so we may have time to discover a solution before it completely changes her."

Kaien nodded in understanding, "But, for now, should she remain in the Day Class? Is that safe?" Kaname rubbed his wrist idly, a habit he had recently acquired. "Yes."

Cross nodded, the worry lines on his face returning. "Zero…"

"Hn," Kaname stood and strode from the room, uninterested in the troubles of the half-blood.
