Kence can feel how much Calter is suffering. Despite holding his man's hand, Calter still can't help but scream loudly while thrashing around the bed
Kence's presence makes Calter feel some comfort but the pain was still too much. If he was a weak-willed man, he would have committed suicide already
The only thing that prevents Calter from doing that was his love for Kence. He cannot leave his lover alone here in this world
He wants both of them to live and die together. How can Calter let himself die prematurely?
Without a choice, he can only endure the excruciating pain while wishing that the relapse would end soon
Although he didn't lower his guard down when fighting the lich, his opponent's action was still unexpected and he was inflicted by the soul fire curse
It felt as if his whole being or existence is in fire yet not even ice can make him feel better
