Diago's burns were incredibly severe.
The "Emperor's" cybernetic eye caught very weak vital signs, so weak that even if these orphans rushed him to the port's hospital immediately, his life might still not be saved.
In addition to the burns themselves, he was also at risk of infection.
Death could take him at any moment, yet even Diago himself waited for its arrival peacefully, without any longing for life in his teenage eyes; he seemed to believe in the "better place" the other orphans had mentioned.
This made the "Emperor" suspect that the cult Father Godel had mentioned truly existed.
Fanatical faith could erase the fear of death, allowing one to face it calmly.
He saw all this in Diago.
However, he was not a believer in any deity, especially since he had only recently faced the "Deity" in The First Region, so he immediately bandaged Diago's wounds and then carried him to the hospital at the port.
