He had to be rushed to the hospital in a state of emergency, because he ate very little, he was incredibly skinny and malnourished, that combined with his insomnia caused his health to be in critical condition.
Usually he would think that was the moment his life would end, but this time he decided that he would keep living, if not for himself then for his family and people, so he fought, he fought for his life and eventually ended victorious.
After that came the difficult part though, after a lot of tries and insecurities, he confessed everything to the queen, how he felt, what he thought and what he almost did, she listened to him the whole time with a worried but understanding look and it made him feel very fortunate to have her as his mother, even if they weren't biologically related.
As soon as he got out of the hospital they went to search for help, and not long after they were presented with a diagnosis: Survivor's Syndrome, caused by being the only survivor of the Cheve Slaughter.
During the next years, he would constantly try to get better, was he healed?, unfortunately not but he was making progress, however it was very slow since he only had his mother to talk to, he didn't feel comfortable telling his siblings, along with other reasons.
Since he was a child he had difficulties expressing his emotions, he only opened up to people he trusted, so he had to find new ways of telling others what he felt, he always had a natural talent for drawing, being able to recreate images perfectly and in a very realistic way and drawing became a tool to help him express himself. So he started drawing both to express his feelings and as therapy.
He spent the last of his teenage years spending time with his siblings, either by training or talking, he took all the classes he needed to learn how to rule and every once in a while he would go to his mother to have a talk, which could be related to his diagnosis or not.
However when he started adulthood he constantly had very bad gut feelings, as if something could go wrong at any moment, and he was right.
