In the confined elevator, Bologue and Palmer occupied the entire space on either side. Bologue still maintained his meticulous demeanor, while Palmer looked somewhat disheveled, with dark circles under his eyes, appearing extremely lethargic, and carrying a faint smell of alcohol.
Bologue glanced sideways at Palmer, this unlucky fellow's body even started to sway slightly, almost losing his balance.
"What time did you drink until last night?" Bologue couldn't help but ask.
Palmer was different from him; this guy joined earlier and became a Condenser a long time ago. Palmer had already passed the first two trials of the triple trials, both his body and will strengthened by Ether.
But even with such enhancement, Bologue still felt that Palmer might suddenly drop dead at any moment.
"Until dawn..."
The exhausted voice squeezed out from between Palmer's teeth, this guy hadn't rested at all; he just tidied himself up at the Undying Club and rushed straight to work.
