His body is breaking down, emotionally defeated, and seems to be in the middle of a panic attack. Not only that, now he has to physically contend with a member of the godhand to get Casca back ( whom he could only cut a single strand of hair while viciously attempting to kill Griffith). I am having a hard time imagining what changes these things. Will he actually give in and use his behelit to become a monster? I doubted it before because of his willpower and tenacity, but looking at him now... what's stopping him from saying fuck it? If not the behelit, will he get some kind of magical boon? Sorry if this comes across as rambley this topic was just stuck in my head lol
