[He can't stop him. If he weren't so injured in the first place, he could yank that hand away, push him back or force his own way about things. He'd be capable, treating Dextera's wounds and then playing the waiting game of them both being rested enough to think of what to do next.
Instead, his mind is foggy, and the introduction of more pain is enough to knock everything else out of him. A noise escapes him that wouldn't normally. Pain is something that he's very used to, but in a state like this, he's pathetic about it. Maybe not just that— purifying someone with a demon in their heart... possibly three... it's probably not the best combination? He can't hear Mahiru, anyway.
He remembers sound fading, muted just like Dextera's soft voice and then even more, and even the pain dulls. Eyelids grow heavy and fall shut, and suddenly, the blood loss combined with everything else is too much. He slumps forward, right at Dextera.
He'll wake up in a matter of hours, but plenty can change in a couple of hours. It's guaranteed that he'll jolt up in a panic once he finally does wake up.]
