Adela felt as if she had been asleep for longer than she should have. Her energy had been completely restored, yet the part of her that didn't want to face reality remained asleep.
But where was she?
"...I fear not a road, I fear not a night. With a heart beside me, so kind and bright. For you, my light, are my life's guide in shadows' depths..." Egon's deep voice softly murmured near her, his hand tenderly stroking her hair.
Right, she was next to Egon. He never left her side, and that was the only thing that allowed her to sleep that much.
"Did you consider waking her up?"
That was Andreas. His voice didn't surprise her; in fact, the von Conradies have been coming and going for some time now, apart from Egon who was always by her side.
"She will wake up when she is ready."
"You need to eat."
"I will eat when she does."
There was a long sigh from afar.
"She will not evaporate if you take your eyes away from her."
