Because it's still bothering him, and neither we nor administrators have means to cure effects once they've been triggered on an individual. Until the condition resolves, I wouldn't see it as different than a ticking debuff timer, like the poison that killed me.
( sry for giving you new and advanced levels of anxiety, levi )
... But there's a chance it'll resolve itself without any further change. Like some glitched Area effects that cause a lingering sense of discomfort and nothing more, for example.
Regardless of whether there will be a development, like my case, or if it'll fade, like a glitched Area effect, we won't know until he stops feeling it.
[At first, the only thing that Levi can muster up in the face of Mithrun's logical insight is a pathetic noise of distress.]
Please... [He foregoes pouring a new cup full of sake and just drinks straight from the bottle. At this rate, he's going to be red in the face for a new reason entirely.] Please let it just go away and not turn into something worse...
[He doesn't want to imagine what would happen if it did, and yet his brain forces him to do it anyway. All of the possible horror scenarios play out in his head regardless.]
( Ah. He'd shown Barrett consideration because he liked him, but he hadn't shown Levi the same because he is neutral on him. He watches Levi go, and considers this may be a natural consequence of excess emotion. )
... Regardless of path, I survived. Things pass eventually.
( Falling short of death, nothing was ever really over. There is, of course, the secondary question: is the life you have after you survive worth living?
His coma was fine. He didn't lose anything from it. But his first accident left him in the state he's in. This life is not a life very worthwhile. So Mithrun sends his regards - not a hope, not a prayer; just a feeling sent into a universe, like a drop of color in a liquid mix - in some other way: in the form of sentiment, that Barrett's life remains one he finds worthwhile, even if that "something worse" comes. )
... He always talks fondly of his family. I think he'll be all right as long as you're there for him.
