At five in the morning, Mary was the first to wake up. She gently nudged Ryan awake, and after the two of them washed up and got dressed, they returned to the mindscape for a simple breakfast. Once they had eaten, Mary called Aurelius over, and the three of them left the mindscape together.
Aurelius's face was full of unwillingness as he headed toward the army. He had no idea how long he would have to replace Ryan and felt deeply aggrieved about it. With a dark expression, he walked into the office.
