The time spent waiting always seemed unbearably long, but fortunately, everyone's days were full.
Lin Hai still split his time between home and his master's clinic.
He woke up in Brooklyn Heights each morning, had breakfast, then took a Portal to the Chen-Style Chinese Medicine Clinic, where he assisted his master, sorted medicinal herbs, and received patients.
In the afternoon, if nothing special came up, he returned home to tend to his special plants on the rooftop terrace or carry out his unwavering daily Spear Zen training.
Gwen was busy handling Starsea Studio's affairs.
As the studio's product line grew ever richer, more and more matters required her decisions. From the design direction of new products to marketing strategies, from supply chain management to collecting and analyzing customer feedback, she had to oversee everything personally.
At the same time, she had not neglected her magical studies at Kamar-Taj. Every day, she set aside a fixed amount of time to study magical tomes borrowed from the library or practice newly mastered spells.
Peter's daily schedule was far more flexible.
He still spent most of his time living at home in Queens with Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Peter knew that whether it was Uncle Ben's advice or Aunt May's nagging, they were the most precious things in his life.
Of course, he also made time for his girlfriend, Mary Jane. The two either strolled through New York's streets, found a quiet coffee shop to sit and chat in, or occasionally went to see a Broadway show.
At night, Peter put on his old Spider-Man suit and continued being New York's Friendly Neighbor. He swung between the skyscrapers, and though he had been doing it for years, he never grew tired of it.
Harry continued trying to develop the Miniature Arc Reactor.
