Seven days after the trip to Kitum Cave, Monet develops a severe headache. He decides to stay home from work, but the headache only becomes more intense and is soon joined by a backache. Three days after his headache begins, Monet spikes a fever and begins to vomit uncontrollably. His personality changes – he becomes sullen and resentful to his housekeeper – while his face becomes frozen in a mask-like state. His eyeballs turn red and his skin takes on a yellowish shade.

Monet becomes increasingly sick and begins to vomit up blood. Finally, he collapses and bleeds out.
