A week passed after the attempted invasion of the Echoes. During that time, Yinuo—lauded as the hero who almost singlehandedly stopped the attack—remained bedridden.
The backlash from her forbidden technique, combined with the damage accumulated from Benno's relentless attacks, was more than her body—or Quinlan's body—could tolerate. She was literally unable to lift a finger for three days after being hospitalized.
Thankfully, Melody and Trisha visited her room daily. They moved as if they had coordinated beforehand, alternating their visits to avoid meeting each other. That arrangement made it easier for Yinuo to handle their antics. She could only imagine the chaos if both entered the room at the same time.
Of course, the girls came dangerously close to "attacking" Yinuo multiple times—which she barely managed to prevent by using her weakened state as a shield. It was fortunate they had the sense not to harass a patient, or things would have spiraled out of control.
