Cage and Andonara's anxiety was understandable, because they remembered what happened to their family.
Cage's father had gone missing, and his wife died soon after childbirth.
The death of Andonara's mother was quite uncanny too.
Though she was not very strong, Andonara's mother was a Warrior. It was very strange that she died abruptly because of illness.
However, everything was possible when curses and spells were involved.
Seeing that they looked awful and lost their fighting will, Roland realized that they might've been hit by the psychological attack.
The purpose of such attacks was not always to cause delirium or unconsciousness.
Triggering depression was a way to fight, too. In a battle, grimness and low morale could affect one's performance.
Roland immediately said, "Don't overthink yet. Let's get rid of this enemy first."
