**The following day, noon, in the Garcia Mansion:**
Rael sat at the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed on his unconscious sister. Eon lay there, still as ever, her face peaceful despite the turmoil she had endured. The High Priestess had done what she could, repairing Eon's soul orb and treating her internal injuries with utmost care to the point that no one could sense that something even happened to her. Yet, her consciousness had not returned. Rael hadn't moved from this spot for hours—he hadn't eaten, drank, or even shifted his position. His eyes, heavy from lack of rest, remained locked on his sister's pale face, worry pooling deep within him.
The door creaked open, breaking the silence. Aurelius stepped into the room, his presence as imposing as ever. His gaze fell upon his children, but his attention was drawn to Rael, who was still staring intently at Eon.
