It's coming years later, but I adore to have this confirmation from HYV's side (even if in another game) of a headcanon I wrote all the way back when Sumeru was being released in regards of the methodology Dain uses to acquire information from Irminsul. The main gist being that his consciousness is immersed in "dreams" of what the past was like and if he were to suffer irreversible damage in one of them, it'd provoke spiritual collapse and that... wouldn't be dissimilar to death.
