The law enforcer then looked at the hourglass, during that little interaction Aster and the others already broke the previous record having endured 56 minutes of suppression, and right now the last grain of sand fell.
"They did it", mumbled the law enforcer, he rubbed his eyes just to make sure they weren't deceiving him.
