"That's enough. You've helped her, now help yourself." Aida said sternly. Yukio had continued to force the healing power out of him and was taking his own life force to give to her now.
"But…." Yukio began to protest.
"No buts. If you continue this, you may really kill yourself. Remember, you still have many others to protect. Close your eyes and focus on meditating, you need to find a good balance between the two powers and make them coexist." Aida cut him off and forced him to begin meditating, he was not allowed to ask any more questions.
On the side, Light seemed to be filled with concern and fear. This was the second time Aida had ever seen him so helpless and lost before. Knowing that he was not in the right state of mind, she ordered Light to go get a glass and the tuning fork that Yukio used to meditate.
Aida watched Yukioclosely and continued to guide him in his meditation in a cold yet soothing voice, "Sense the two different powers inside you, talk to them and ask them to work together. Think about what they have in common and try to make them coexist."
Light shuffled in with a cup and the tuning fork. Aida tapped the tuning fork and had Yukio focus on this sound, she could see the two powers within him slowly growing out of control. "Focus on the tuning fork and try to get your powers to match the same frequency."
Handing the fork to Light, she slashed her own wrist and poured her blood into the cup. She repeated this process multiple times before the cup was finally filled with blood. Handing it to Light, she told him to help Yukio drink the blood. It should be able to help reduce the chances of his body rejecting the gems.
Before he could do anything, the two powers suddenly went out of control and caused Yukio to spit out blood. "Ahhh!" he screamed out loud, he was in a great amount of pain as the powers clashed at the center of his body, hitting against his organs. He began to shudder uncontrollably.
Aida's face turned grave as she saw this, "He's going into shock! The abilities are clashing and his body can't handle this." If the powers kept hitting his organs like this, he wouldn't be able to survive.
At this moment, Rose, who had been staring at Yukio with no expression, stood up and went to hold Yukio's hand. She channeled her power into him and his organs began to freeze in place, preventing the powers that were clashing against each other from further injuring his organs.
Aida's face lit up. Why didn't she think of this? Only someone like Rose who was an absolute genius at controlling her ability would be able to insert her powers without injuring the host.
Focusing on Yukio, who was now only half conscious and shuddering, she gestured to Light and had him feed Yukio the blood. After he managed to drink all the blood, Aida slit her own wrist again and added more blood to the cup. They repeated this cycle multiple times before the power of the gems finally died down and Yukio had fainted.
Aida could tell the battle was still not over. The powers were still battling within him, it just wasn't nearly as obvious from the outside anymore.
Rose continued to hold Yukio's hand, keeping his organs from getting displaced. Meanwhile, Light had finally recovered his senses and also held Yukio's hand. He had his eyes closed and began meditating.
Inspired by Rose's calm and deliberate actions, he attempted to use his own powers to help alleviate some of Yukio's pain. Although he hadn't tried it before, he had learned from the light novel "research" on how to use his empathic abilities to help Yukio reduce the pain and focus his attention.
Reaching into his mindscape, which was far more organized than before, he touched Yukio's strand of consciousness. The strand contained a mixture of fear, pain, unwillingness and extreme stubbornness. Light unconsciously clenched the fist that wasn't holding onto Aida's hand. Aida, who had a connection with Light by blood, sensed this and placed a hand on his clenched fist, reminding him to remain calm.
Light quickly returned to his senses and began focusing on easing the fear and pain. In his mindscape, he stared intently at Yukio's strand of consciousness. This allowed him to visualize the smaller strands within his connection with Yukio that represented fear and pain.
Focusing on those, Light began to meticulously pick them out one by one. As he did, he began to feel the fear and pain instead. In this heightened state, he openly absorbed these unpleasant emotions and continued to pull each of those strands out with determination. The process was painstakingly challenging but Light never wavered in his conviction and continued to push forward.
Soon, he was able to get rid of most of those unpleasant emotions from Yukio's psyche. Light didn't relax, but instead began channeling calm energy into Yukio. As he did this, there was a noticeable result as Yukio's shuddering began slowing down and then coming to a stop.
Soon Yukio's powers had been exhausted and he fainted. Neither Rose nor Light moved despite this change. Instead, they continued to channel their powers into him. Aida got up to grab more gems and provided them to both Rose. After Yukio's healing session, she had recovered to 80% and her body could handle the absorption of gems now. Rose took the gems and intuitively understood how to absorb the power.
On the side, Light began to shake from exhaustion as well. Aida silently went down to retrieve some energy bars and water for him to consume as he continued to provide a calming effect towards Yukio. It was nearly as effective as a nice sedative.
Seeing that Yukio had stabilized, Aida sat down and closed her eyes as she focused on sensing Yukio's state, ensuring that there were no anomalies that had gone undetected.
