You could try to take this several ways. ill edit with the second in a moment.
1. Hikari's body is not hers- the injuries she thought she had were in fact part of a soul transplanting process into another body akin to what Edda and Nybeth were trying. This isn't a perfect process, in fact that might have been what the old lady was looking for. Hikari may find herself with some psychological effects, such as a penchant for daydreaming or performing actions without remembering them, or strange dreams where she sees her immediate vicinity, including her sleeping self.
2. Hikari is cured...and dead- a variation of the above, Hikari may have been healed at the point of death and before the soul exited, rendering her "undead" while her body yet functions(the layman terms being her body was cured literally at the moment it "died") , and oddly vulnerable to stuff that affect zombies, skeletons, while still retaining bodily functions, with possibly other effects regarding her aether and aging.
Voisent shananigans- not very versed in voidsent... but perhaps the lady used Hikari's body to house something supernatural, and that is the only reason she survived. if ithe other spirit is purged or otherwise sent back to the void, Hikari may suffer something drastic, like bad dreams, possession, lack of ability to use magic safely, or even death.
