[He pulls himself into a similar position, waiting for this to end—well, hopefully. If he has one reassurance, it's that this time, he doesn't have to hurry so as to prevent Liomerg from likely killing his friends; then again, with the chaos going on in the city, time still isn't on his side here.
Eventually, though, the glitch comes to an end. Karl wouldn't be able to tell precisely when, only that in time, slowly, over the course of minutes, the pain disappears. Accompanying its fading is the onset of exhaustion, now that the stirring in his blood isn't forcing him awake.
He'll be embarrassed about this later on, especially when he knows that he should get up and leave once he's able, but... between the instability and everything that's happened in the past while, he's tired enough that he ends up falling asleep, head buried in his arms. Sorry, Chihiro—you'll have to wake him up.]
