Larry stops weeping to see that Kaz has now gone into a feeverish nightmare, of sorts. Her temperature had risen, and she had broke out into a cold sweat. Larry quickly ran over to the washing bowl and drenched a towel, then places this towel upon her feverish head.
"Hang in there, Kaz...I can't afford to lose you as well."
Larry continues to watch on as Kaz seems to be having a terribly painful nightmare.
"Father...please show me a sign of what I must do...I have lost Mistral and now Kaz is slipping away from me...Father, I need guidance..."
After saying that prayer to his dead father/role model...he realized that he had not prayed to Aerie in such a long time. No matter...She was never there for him, anyway. He had just about given up on the Gods of any faith. What mattered in the now was the well-being of those who he cared for.
