Gaia looked Beatrice straight in the eyes. "So, Your Holiness, do you have a way to treat yourself?"

Castel truly had no good treatment methods left.

Indeed, because they used quite a few Pollution-related projects here, they had a whole set of ways to deal with Pollution, but most of them were protective measures.

As long as proper protection was in place, one would not be eroded by Pollution.

There were methods to treat Pollution as well, but they were basically useless for someone as far gone as Beatrice. Put simply, what she needed now was not treatment, but a miracle.
