This might be a lot to wrap your head around, but Zarco is 100% ok. In fact, he's performing the spell on you. You see, Zarco's immense blood loss would put him in a coma sooner of later, and as such he wouldn't have survived the trip back home. Or even to when you woke up. He was barely alive as is. In a last ditch effort to save him, I fused my body with his, replacing all his lost blood. I basically AM Zarco now. Except, not really.
