Six silent hours passed at the foot of the stairs. Then, Ruri gently awakened and quickly stood up with a frightened look. All the women around jumped in surprise, and Ruri cast an intense gaze towards the top of the stairs, threatening to go up.
Everyone felt her conflicting intentions, but she didn't hesitate much and advanced. At that moment, Langrum firmly held her by the shoulder.
"Calm down! What happened?" Langrum asked, trying to keep both Ruri and herself calm.
At that moment, Almin woke up slightly, bringing his hands to his head as if he felt a deep pain. Soon, all the women noticed Almin's face and skin becoming drier and stiffer in front of their eyes as if he had aged a few years rapidly. After a few seconds, Almin took his hands off his head, breathed calmly, and then everyone felt relief seeing him seemingly well. Soon, Ruri's voice sounded.
"It was master... I don't know... I felt like I saw him fall and die..."
