[ The moment Lightning hits the lowest rung of being aware? Well, she can tell she's hurt somehow, and learned instinct defaults her to doing something about that-- even though it's not really physical pain she's in. Her Brand and the body and soul connected to it are fighting the Gaian magic like an allergic reaction, which is probably why the Filial variety seems to help at all... as well as the swirling rush of the blue-white healing magic she casts herself. It's working to erase the remnants of Aerith's attempted seal.
But even with that done, she still doesn't do much except to take in a long, deep breath, then cast another Cure as she lets it out. Disorientation is the name of the game right now- yeah, she can tell she's laying on the ground, but is still definitely too stunned to figure out why or even do much about it. She just keeps pressing her hand hard into her chest's arcane marking, wondering why Aerith is babbling at her. ]
