Lex stood in front of Taro's journal, placing his hand upon the massive book, contemplating what exactly he wanted to search. He did not let the urgency of the situation pressure him, but he also couldn't focus on anything else until he resolved his current predicament.
Thus, it actually took him a couple of seconds before he realized what was happening in a corner of the Inn where nothing was supposed to be happening. Mary had woken up!
Lex was genuinely surprised, not expecting her to wake up for thousands of years. Everything always took thousands of years.
He was not complaining, though. The fact that Mary had woken up ahead of schedule was amazing as she had a whole lot more experience than him. Now that she was no longer restricted by the system, she could definitely help him a whole lot more! Hopefully her memories had completely recovered!
