The group returned to Ethora and Haeju City, immediately taking Renjun inside the lab upon arrival.

Once they made it to the special room inside, they gently placed Renjun into one of the cryostasis capsules to preserve his body and monitor his condition further.

Additionally, they laid Xinrei down in one of the beds in the lab's infirmary room for him to rest.

Once both of them were secure and resting, the rest of the team stayed put in the lab's main area.

"How are Renjun and Xinrei doing?"

Jungwoo asked Donghyuck and Taeyong.

"Hyung is stable, but I'm a bit worried. I'm sure that Yuta-hyung knows this too, but as time goes on, the condition of his body will only get worse and it'll start to decompose. However, returning his disks at the same time should speed up his recovery and quickly reverse those effects. But as for right now, his energy readings are exceptionally low, but at least they're not completely gone.."

"Xinrei is stable as well. But I know that these events have only traumatized him even more than he likely already was. This is the second time the kids have lost Renjun, but this time, it feels like he's actually gone. But I know that Xinrei will want to help out as much as he can to help bring Renjun back, if he can.."

The two explained.

"Knowing how Rei is, he might not want to leave this lab until dad is revived. I don't blame him though. Despite how he's acted towards him in the past, he really loves dad and absolutely hates it when they can't be together"

"And now that dad is in a coma, I'm afraid that he's probably going to shut down worse than he has before in the past..."

Xinya and Nitro explained.

"How bad has he shut down before??"

"Back before you guys attacked us at the party, Uncle Renjun was always busy with hero work since he's number one. He didn't get to spend a lot of time with Xinrei, Xinya, Nitro-hyung, or Suko-noona because of his incredibly busy schedule. At first, Rei shut down and wouldn't say a word to anyone until he got to be with hyung again. But eventually, things changed. He started talking again, but he began to resent hyung instead because he felt like he didn't want to be with his own family"
