[13 hours 59 minutes until the rest period ends. Please take a rest.]0

Returning to the waiting room felt oddly welcoming, almost like entering a place of solace. Despite the tangle of thoughts swirling in my mind, a sense of calm settled over me.0

First things first, though. Doppy needed to shower.0

Though there had been the opportunity to rinse off on the forty-sixth floor, I knew I would be returning here and had only washed up quickly. Besides, checking my status screen while he cleaned up always felt more reassuring.0

Perhaps it had become second nature by now.0

“Doppy, go—”0

Before I could even finish my sentence, he cut me off energetically, “Already on it!”0

He darted into the shower room. I blinked, momentarily caught off guard.0

Is this the same goblin who used to complain endlessly about taking baths?0

Apparently, even he had fallen into my routine.0

I smiled faintly as I watched him shed his armor and disappear behind the door. Once the door clicked shut, I opened my status screen.0
