Dawn arrived quietly, without any fanfare. Robert blinked his eyes open, and there was SAI, already awake and sitting up straight across from him. He had his left hand pressed against his side, as if checking for any signs of what the night had brought.
Robert glanced at the empty casing of the Crimson Mend Pill next to SAI. It was a high-grade recovery pill, meant for single use. Sai had taken it in the early hours of the night without waking Robert.
Robert asked, "How is your left hand?" Sai replied, "i am almost recovered." Robert nodded, and they both stood there together.
With a final glance, Robert inspected the storage ring. He had three Rank Three cores from day one, one Rank Two from day one, three Rank Three cores from day two, and one Iron Claw Titan core at Rank Four. The total came to one hundred sixty-five points. He looked at the figure, but it did not evoke any emotion.
Not enough.
