Spoiler for 106:

I think he was in dire need of assistance, at least that exact moment. He mentioned specifically his heart and head/neck were unguarded in a "Oh fuck this is bad!" way, just before setsuna started barfin' blood. Those are exactly the two places which are the weakspots even for Needlesses with incredible regeneration powers. Setsuna is a lot tougher than you might think, she already got hit with a Mio&Teryama combi attack and still managed to push Teruyama around in this chapter.

If it is Eden seed which is wrecking her from the inside I wonder why it took so long for it to take effect. A normal needless would've died if administered enough condensed eden seed to provoke the appearance of a stigmata according to Uten and quite fast at that. Perhaps it's different for Needless of a missing link class? Or would she have gotten a lower dosage?
