Aito woke up after a few hours had passed.
He reflexively took a rapid look to evaluate the situation. Ogoro was sound asleep, probably exhausted after giving surgery to Lucius.
Sheyla stood guard at the end of the corridor, looking out for any potential threat that might disturb the challengers' rests.
Although they did not seem to have recovered entirely, Elizabeth and Lucius's state appeared to have stabilized properly.
Another woman, the baldie's companion, like Sheyla, was watching the other end of the corridor while Sam was resting.
The baldie looked like shit. He had a dark eye as if someone had stunned him to shut him up. Understandable.
"Hey, boss. Good to see you made it here alive," George said, standing guard next to him.
"You guys were a pain in the ass to find in this labyrinth. Took me five fucking days," Aito replied with a smirk, getting to his feet. "But seeing as you're alive and kicking, it was worth it."
