Vritra stayed in a deep, peaceful sleeping state for nearly a full day. No one disturbed him during that quiet time.
Though his women did frequently come in to check up on him, they also came just to sit there and quietly watch his resting face. Simply being near him was incredibly calming for them after everything.
Finally, after reliving the agonizing end in his mind where Evelyn died, Vritra's eyes snapped open with a sharp startle.
It had been so long since he had felt such raw, intense emotions. A heavy sadness filled him at first, but then, remembering that Evelyn was perfectly fine in reality, he slowly calmed down.
She must have felt the exact same lingering dread, but her awakening was much, much earlier than his own. After that initial shock, Evelyn had flawlessly planned everything out.
A sudden, overwhelming urge to quickly go and meet her filled his heart. He pushed down his chaotic emotions and took a long, deep breath to steady himself.
