When Roland regained consciousness, over half an hour had passed already.
He had no memory whatsoever of what had occurred during that time, nor could he recall when he had ended up resting his head on his mother's lap.
The only thing he could confirm was that his clothes appeared neat and undisturbed, showing no signs of having been tampered with.
Of course, even if they had been tampered with, how could he have noticed while unconscious?
His mother wouldn't be foolish enough to let him wake up before covering her tracks.
This meant that, despite appearing perfectly fine now, his mother could have done anything to him during those thirty minutes of unconsciousness.
Adding to Roland's predicament was his absurdly robust constitution. Even after exhausting himself with Yukio for over ten hours, he felt no fatigue. This meant he couldn't even rely on physical exhaustion to confirm whether anything had happened to him.
