I returned to my room to see Brendan already up and sitting on the bed.
"Well, you're up fast," I noted with mild amusement. "I thought you might stay unconscious for the entire day."
He flashed a wry smile at me, "It isn't the first time I passed out after practicing alchemy, though it is the first time I had passed out in a while from quark deficiency."

That's why it was such a big deal when I realised those Monster Cores actually helped expand mine the way they did, though I have yet to figure out exactly why.
