Chen Ke and his team had, in effect, spent the equivalent of 60 days and nights at the Illusion Dream Center.
Lucina's injuries still showed no sign of healing, and no matter how much Diana slept, she always felt tired.
Chen Ke knew why. The Illusion Dream Center had no concept of time flow, so everything remained unchanged and stuck in the state it was upon entry.

This reminded Chen Ke of Parker, Priskin, and Hall. Parker had once slept in the Great Void; Priskin and Hall had rested here too. Although it appeared as if they slept, in reality, they were only fooling themselves...
