Since that rainy night, Horn has been in a coma for three days in bed, but his condition hasn't improved.
He spends more time sleeping than awake, and most of the time he's awake, he uses it to eat, take medicine, and vehemently reject the physicians' proposed treatments of bloodletting, enemas, and castration.
During these three days, Horn drank a considerable amount of precious herbs and foods from the monastery, and ate quite a bit of magical beast meat, which barely stabilized his condition.
But it was just stabilized; Horn still suffered from periodic high fevers.
In most of his dreams, he was being pursued by the Church and the Empire's army, and then beheaded, spending his time in an endless cycle of nightmares.
Every time Horn woke up, he couldn't stop sighing.
He had killed a Priest in front of everyone's eyes, not someone like Barnett, a countryside knight, but a genuine Priest.
