Whether it's related or not doesn't really matter anymore.
What matters is that Puniel needs Hilia to help treat the two Puppet Masters.
The healing process went smoothly.
The power within the Divine Fragment used her as a medium to enter the two unlucky Puppet Masters' bodies, stopped their souls from slipping away any further, and then began nurturing their souls, stabilizing their condition.
However, all Hilia could do was stabilize them; as for the soul's loss, she couldn't restore it all at once.
Luckily, there were fruits that could replenish the soul.
Following Rose's instructions, Hilia wrote down the medicinal fruits and herbs needed and handed the list to the City Lord, saying, "The most I can do is help stabilize their souls so they wake up, but they'll still be very weak after waking, needing long-term nourishment—maybe two or three years before they fully recover."
