Eventually, Alden fell asleep.
Neo and Owen returned to the room after some time.
They played with the wolf cub for a while, and when it got tired, they sat on their beds to meditate. They worried about Alden but could do nothing.
They meditated for a few hours and then went to sleep.
Early in the morning, their alarms went off.
They got up and prepared for classes. This time, they did not even bother calling Alden. They left, leaving Alden alone in the room.
The moment they left, Alden opened his eyes.
He let out a long sigh and then closed his eyes again.
...
Several hours later.
Alden got out of bed. It was almost 1 pm.
He took clean clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Alden turned the faucet for hot water on, and while water filled the bathtub, he took off his clothes. He looked at himself in the mirror.
