After eating the exquisite meal provided by the hotel, Yi Chen's body felt a long-forgotten relaxation, and he even found himself wanting to soak in a bath and rest lazily. Matters concerning the Film Crew's filming were pushed aside.
However, only Yi Chen had relaxed.
Lorien, who had yet to overcome Hotel Sexual Stress Disorder, and Lainey, who was experiencing a hotel for the first time, kept their bodies tense at all times.
Lainey's "witch mindset" had been removed. Lorien would implant it into her through the Dreamscape only before filming; otherwise, she remained in her usual state.
