After relishing a delightful meal and sharing countless laughs with Mordak's family, Dean found himself leaning against the wall, partially covered by the warm blanket gifted to him by Shader. He sat in the dimly lit room, his mind drifting as he gazed out of the window. Thoughts of his distant people weighed heavily on his heart, the longing for home tugging at his soul.
Three hours had passed since everyone had retired to their slumber, yet Dean remained wide awake. Lost in contemplation, he pondered when he could finally return to his homeland. His friends had been incessantly calling for his return even before he had embarked on his journey to the forest. He knew he had lingered away for far too long, and there were pressing matters awaiting his attention.
