Just as Peridot flickers, Gongenzaka isn't entirely doing the best either. He was sitting with her through the entire STAB STAB STAB after all, urging her on until his own voice faded under strain. It might not be his body, but it was certainly his own soul still exposed to the iron, the Mother, and so on.
His strain and injury differs of course- he wasn't the one personally handling iron at the end of the day. But as weariness takes hold he has to remind himself that getting to his body is important as well. Dimly he can hear something about striking the Mother as she dies- and the screams echo painfully in his mind. And...he supposes there must be danger around them, then..? He...
"Peridot," he says quietly, uncertain of if she will even hear him. "I, the man Gongenzaka, feel I may need to stay with you until the chaos quiets a little more..."
He sort of wishes he could just sleep honestly. But he's pretty sure that would be as unwise as trying to track his body during an all out attack.
