The faint darkening under his eyes told me enough - he must have guarded me while I was 'unconscious'.
The thought warmed something in my chest even as the Infinite Loop continued its endless cycle, cool and steady in the background of my awareness.
Zephyr pushed off from the wall, studying me with those sharp eyes of his. "You look... different."
I couldn't help the small smile that tugged at my lips. "I feel different."
Rising to my feet, I marveled at how my body responded, every movement perfectly balanced. "How long was I out?"
"Two days."
"...I see." I nodded.
Two days, huh.
The number should have surprised me, but in this new state of clarity, it simply... registered.
A fact, not a shock.
I'd known the harmonization might take time, just not days.
