Warnings: blood, gore, physical and emotional abuse against a minor



Honestly, Killua doesn't really understand what's going on with the whole other city of Dorchacht. He wasn't around for any of it before, and though he's asked and learned what happened and why this is happening now, he's mostly stayed out of it. This isn't his fight. He has his Bonded to focus on, and he doesn't trust his magical abilities very much yet. It feels like an unnecessary risk, especially when it's been taken well in hand by other, more experienced people. He doesn't volunteer.

In the end, it doesn't matter. Maybe he's being punished for his selfish decision.

He can withstand a whole fucking lot. But this time, after the barrage from earlier, the blow to the head and now Geralt steadily cutting off his air, even Killua can't cling to consciousness without being able to breathe.

It takes a bit longer than it probably should have, by any normal estimate. He's been trained for this too; he can hold his breath longer than most people, even as he tries to fight back. In the end though, despite his stupid shounen protag strength training, he really is only human.

He goes limp under Geralt's grip.

Since this is a dream, though, the consequence of him no longer being aware in it has his body suddenly starting to just sort of... fizzle out in Geralt's arm, slowly losing consistency.
