"Look who finally decided to wake up."
Jin approached the two, as her teasing tone was exactly what Nero needed to hear.
"Looks like you had your fair share of sleep, huh?"
"..."
Nero rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Yeah, it was almost an eternal sleep too… By the way, I forgot to ask - how long was I unconscious?"
The question made Jin's expression shift slightly.
"..."
She glanced at Aurelia, who immediately shook her head in a barely perceptible gesture.
Some kind of silent communication passed between them.
Then Jin had a bitter look on her face before she sighed,
"It's... been about a year."
"WHAT?!"
The color drained from Nero's face so fast he looked like he might faint again.
A year?!
Wtf?! He expected that he would be unconscious for quite some time! But for a year?!
Wait!
His mind immediately jumped to the worst possible conclusions about the trio's fate.
If he'd been unconscious for an entire year, how about Kaito, Yui, and Haru…?
