James: Wanting to tell her to stop, wanting to say that he could continue on fighting, James nearly harms himself even further by attempting to help. When he collapses, leaving Mika to fight his father alone, he feels like a failure. Even after her victory he blames himself for leaving her to do it alone.
Erik: Barely conscious, it doesn’t register at first that she was the one fighting his father. When Erik finally does realize, the immense amount of worry he has for her is enough to sober him up into paying attention to the last few minutes of battle. When Mika wins, he’s so relieved, but he’s also so very tired.
Sam: There is a part of him that is angry that he wasn’t the one to defeat his father for good, but the reality that the tyranny of the Demon Lord being over is not lost on Sam. He’s relieved that, thanks to his death, the war is finally over and he’s even more relieved that Mika wasn’t killed in the process.
Matthew: This was not how it was supposed to go. She was not supposed to be the one fighting his dad and he was not supposed to be crippled on the floor. Matthew can barely keep awake during her fight and, when she finally wins, he slips into unconsciousness. He’s alive, but barely.
Damien: Having been so ready to just let go and have the sweet embrace of death finally take him, Damien’s only hope to clinging on to life was making sure Mika would remain safe. When she defeated the Demon Lord, he nearly passed out just from the overwhelming relief that it all was finally over.
Diana: She had been so determined to exact her revenge on the Demon Lord, but everything in her body hurt so bad. She couldn’t see clearly, but she could hear Mika’s every breath through the throws of her battle. She trusts that Mika will carry out the revenge she so desperately needed.
