Strength draining from his body, Kuhaku could no longer stand and crumpled to the ground. Gren arrived just in time to catch him as he fell, Miss Belle at his side seconds later. Breath coming labored and ragged, his lungs struggled to properly feed his body oxygen. His skin grew colder and paler as he was covered in a thin layer of his greasy sweat. His senses began to abandon and betray him, rolling through the process of punishment in rapid succession. His teammates and the people around him were saying things, he could understand that much for now. But soon their muffled voices were completely deafened by a persistent ringing, blocking out all sound with its high-pitched tone. His vision went next, shapes and colors mixing and blurring until they were replaced by complete darkness. His eyes rolling back into his head. Last was the worst of all, the waves of near-unbearable pain. Pressure building within his head, it felt as though his head were in a vice with someone slowly cranking it attempting to crush his skull and spill its contents onto the ground. Powerful jolts of pain shot down his spine and spread throughout his body, causing him to curl up into a tight ball of miserable suffering. Shaking violently, he made a horrid choking noise as he clenched his jaw tightly. Grinding his teeth loudly against each other. A white foam began to build at the corner of his mouth. He then closed his eyes tightly as his body seized up from pain equivalent to being tortured to death by electrocution. Like a gunshot, an particularly powerful wave of pain rattled through his body and acted like an 'Off' switch. His mind and body no longer able to tolerate the episode, he shut down. Instantly, he grew silent as his body slowly relaxed and became completely limp in Gren's arms. On the edge of consciousness, sorrowful tears streamed from his eyes. Voice weak and small, he pathetically mewled out a few last words, "[B]Please...don't...let me...forget...them...[/B]" Begging to no one in particular. He lost his grip on reality and consciousness, blacking out.
