Emilia was tired

Not physically, she got enough sleep last night and eating healthy food -and delicious too- so there is no reason for her body to exhausted

It was her mind that tired, she exhausted in mental

In last two days when she see Aaron laying in bed, helpless, trapped, hurt, and in pain, very tremendous pain. He literally almost die after all, so close to dead, his body almost like boiling pot! Had she and Rem not there to help him...

'No, no! Don't go there! Don't go there!'

Emilia shook her head, eyes clenched tightly and banish the idea. There's no way she will going there, Aaron won't be gone, he won't die, he is strong, true he not invincible -she not that naïve to believe so- but she knew that IF he goes down it will be kicking and screaming -or something like that according to Rem

He still going to show that he is defiant to the last, still going to show that he is powerful, strong, never give up

And yet he almost die yesterday...

Then to make matter worse this morning when she visit him he awake

That was supposed to be a good thing, a joyful moment, at least after two days in coma and burning himself he finally awake! He was fine! He was back!

Except... Except he did not...

When he woke up, he did not smile at her like always, he did not talk and trying to reassure her with his gentle -and teasing- words, and he did not look at her with the usual caring and tender eyes.

He wake up with scream

Scream that filled with terror, pure terror. Not only that but also... Madness.

He was shrieking and shouting incoherently, yelling with eyes bloody red and filled with utter fear while clawing himself as if there's something that biting and crawling him from inside

They tried to comfort him in instant, they was there. They cast healing spell to him, trying to calm him down but it was useless. Even Beatrice can't do anything. The moment they try to heal him his unique Magic Resistance thrown them away violently, something that never happened until now -they never have problem healing him after all, when they try to calm his fever using magic day ago is proof of that- and it shocked him just how potent that is to be able repel Beatrice

They tried to use sedative but they afraid how his body will react seeing his strange Magic Resistance pretty much nearly killing him yesterday and seeing he keep hurting himself and they don't have any option the left with only one option, using physical way -albeit she and Rem very reluctant to do that. Alas it was meet with same result, they try to knock him out but it not working

Ram's frying pan that broken can testy that. The pink oni hit him in head many times until it bend and broke but it not working. That actually made Emilia realize just how tough Aaron truly is in first place, he is not normal Human after all, his strength and speed is proof of that so his endurance is surely as strong as them

Though he did not immune to piercing but to blunt force Aaron's is clearly far tougher than anything she ever seen. And in the end it take Puck himself who pick a gigantic rock and drop it in his head

Fortunately that work, though it left Beatrice a bit exhausted since she have to teleport them to somewhere to pick the boulder and transport them back to the manor

It has been few hours, now already close to noon and he still not showing any sign he will wake up again...

And perhaps it will be better if he didn't wake up for now...
