The hallucinations still occurred.
There were many hollows around him, big and small. And only one fighter, to counter and destroy them.
Ishida knew, from the figure's power, weapon, that it was indeed a Quincy; he realized that that figure was of no familiarity to him.
Feeling the sharp pain in his arm, made him slowly close his eyes, and let out a soft and heated breath. Slowly, beads of sweat ran down his forehead and down his chin.
He moved his right arm--from where he had his Quincy cross--and he felt that he was lost without his cross, his power.
With a huff of a sigh, he dropped down his arm, as he laid his head back and only stared up with unblinking eyes.
Hearing a thump, which was when Ishida dropped his arm down, send Tessai in the room, "Ishida-san?"
Ishida sent a glance, slowly toward Tessai before him. "...Hey."
"Ishida-san..." Tessai had noticed there was croak in his voice. He knelt in front of him, "Would you like something to drink? Water?"
It took a moment, a minute, before Ishida barely let out, "...No..."
He barely let out a breath, let alone a word, that it seemed inaudible toward Tessai. But, from scan the look on his face, he knew the answer.
"But, Ishida-san you need--"
"What..." Ishida breathed. "...is...taking them...?"
Tessai did not question the boy. He knew what Ishida was heading for. "Do not worry, Ishida-san." Herose back up. "Mr. Kurosaki and Boss will defeat those hollows first and then they will find a cure for you."
Slowly, Ishida nodded.
"Alright. I can...wait. Since that's all...I can do now..."
