It wasn't long before Lyle chose to depart, the outside world still in the depths of night, meaning he had four hours to sleep before his job as a constable began.
Before sleeping, he hid the Spirit Summon book Mr. Dragon had brought in the cabinet, reviewed the resurrection spell a few times—perhaps with some Five-Petaled Nightshade, he could complete the ritual independently—and remembered the staff as well.
After adding these tasks to the mental checklist in his mind, Lyle drifted into dreamland.

Honestly, waking up and immediately seeing Ralph's zombie-like face was a very unpleasant life experience.
"A constable's time is extremely precious. (Don't oversleep next time.)"
"Okay," he replied, though he inwardly felt this situation would occur again in the future.
"Studying hard at night is good… (but you must also pay attention to your rest.)"
Ralph seemed to think he had been up all night studying, thankfully due to his long-established image as a diligent student.
