At first he thought he could wither away whatever arcane torture method the witch was using, however, as minutes turned to hours and hours to days, his resolve broke, the constant void, he couldn't hear himself scream, the fatigue lead him to hallucinations as he could feel Lily's emerald green eyes peering at him from the top. The blood he felt that of Lily's whom he failed to protect. It had driven him nearly to insanity. Now weeks later he spends his time screaming for it to stop, screaming for Lily's forgiveness, wishing that Hermione would stop and end his misery.
