Once Kiritaka's unconscious body made it to the mansion, he was taken to Roswaal's office room so that he and Roswaal would have a chat.
It was unknown how Kiritaka was able regain consciousness, but it was implied to be painful since everyone present in the mansion heard his painful cry.

Emilia: "Liliana, do you know him?"

Emilia: "Anything else that might explain why he sent men after you?"
Liliana: "He enjoyed the songs a lot, and gifted me with stuff like delicious food... but I wanted to leave it at that and said goodbye."
Kakine: "Wait... That's it?? He had these hired thugs chase after you for days just because he liked your songs?? I don't get that at all..."
