*Asta wakes up and tries to move when Mirrah gently pushes him back down*

Mirrah:No. Stay down, you have broken limbs and we'll a lot happened during that.

Asta:What happened? Everything hurts.

Mirrah:To be blunt you kinda lost your shit and went berserk and killed over 400 men.

Asta:What!?

Mirrah:Yeah so just lay there for awhile. You need to heal.

Asta: Where's Shola and the others?

Mirrah:Well you killed Erina,Shola is training,Greirat is looking for medical items, and Noelle is waiting for you to wake up.

Asta:Shit I forgot she's here.

Mirrah:Good Luck.

*Mirrah walks out of the tent as Noelle walks in*

Asta:Hey. What are you doi-

Noelle:Shut it.

Asta:What did I do?!

Noelle:What do you mean "What did I do?". Asta you slaughtered an entire town..

Asta:I did?

Noelle:Do you not remember or are you just that stupid?

Asta:I genuinely don't recall anything Noelle I swear.

Noelle:Is that so?

Asta:I swear I'm not lying. I can't recall a damn thin-

Noelle:Are you? Or are you just subconsciously suppressing the memories and trauma. Asta you killed everyone..even the kids weren't safe. Either way as of now you're not the Asta I fell in love with. You're someone entirely different...

*Noelle leaves the room*

Asta:It's happening again...

*Several hours later*

Noelle:So yeah that's basically it.

Mirrah:Wow,so he never showed his face till recently. That's hard to believe.

Shola:I agree.

Greirat:Speaking of Asta he hasn't come out of the tent yet.

Mirrah:Yeah I'm a little worried. Did he do that much damage to himself.

Shola:Maybe.

Noelle:Well he deserves it.

Mirrah:Noelle!?

Noelle:What? He's not the person he used to be. I don't know what has all happened since he came here but he's completely different. Plus he killed so many kids. I can't just act like I can forgive that...Like I told him.. he's not the person I fell in love with..

Shola:Well I'm going to check in him.

Mirrah:Please do.

*Shola gets up and goes to Asta's tent to find Asta sitting up*

Shola:Asta you okay man?

Asta: I'm fine..

Shola: Alright just checking.

*Shola closes the tent and sits with the others as Noelle gets up to go bathe*

Mirrah:So how is he?

Shola:*Sighs* Well he's fine physically thanks to the meds Greirat made..but emotionally and mentally.. he's gone...I think Noelle did more damage than she realized.

Mirrah:Oh no..Poor Asta.

Greirat: Why's that?

Shola:The fire in his eyes are gone. He's broken..
