"Is there any point in trying?" Luca looked at Luke. Her eyes regained some focus.

"Of course. Perform the same dry needling technique you performed earlier on him. See if it wakes him up." Luke held her hand tightly, giving her strength.

Luca felt the strength in his grip and nodded firmly.

"Luca, you're the only one who can save him now," said Luke. He asked her to pull herself together. "If you give up too, he won't wake up."

"I'll save him..." Luca took a deep breath and took out the remaining needles. Once again, she pricked Stan's face and head.

"Ugh..." When the final needle was pricked, Stan let out a muffled groan. He appeared to be in great pain. He kept his eyes closed and was murmuring, "Ouch, it hurts."

Luca took a deep breath, feeling relieved. She regained her composure when Stan regained his consciousness.

Thank goodness, the man was saved.

Luca removed the needles and then turned to look at Luke. "We still need to leave him with a small injury on his head. Then, we'll call for an ambulance."

Luke nodded. Stan had not fully regained consciousness yet. After the last needle was removed, Luke lifted Stan up and carried him to the hallway.

Then, he made Stan hit the wall.

Stan's head was bruised, even oozing with a bit of blood. Then, in a daze, he cried out before passing out once more.

Luca watched this happen and said, "Let’s call for an ambulance."

Stan was safe, and his consciousness had returned. Even though their actions were not pleasant, she knew being kind to the enemy meant being cruel to oneself. It was a lesson she deeply understood.

Luca had seen too many people fighting each other on the Island of Despair.

If one showed kindness, one would ultimately suffer a tragic fate.
