He knew her body was failing again, and she was already succumbing to it despite her struggles to stay awake. Watching her struggle like this every single day had been more torturous to Zeres than the wounds all over him. "Sleep now, Alicia. You need to rest. Do not worry about me. I'm really fine. I'll take care of you." he uttered as he smoothed her hair as if to lull her to sleep. "I've done this before, so I'm pretty used to it already. Now that I think about it, it was more agonizing back then. I don't really even feel the pain this time – not much anyways. But I can promise you this won't even be enough to kill me." He continued, knowing that she wasn't listening anymore, because she had finally lost consciousness again. "I don't know why it's not as painful this time compared to the last. Back then, I was screaming in pain every time and I never healed until the day I finally died. Maybe because unlike back then, I am willingly doing it this time…" he trailed off and pulled away to look at her face.
