Robin awoke hours later, feeling much better, all traces of pain gone, as well as fatigue and sleepiness.
Without hesitation he got up, ready to take the bath he had left pending. He would wear the clothes Dustin had left him and return home at once.
He didn't want to wake Dustin up at that time of the morning, especially after having kept him up all night, so he prepared the tub himself, with warm water and bubbles to relax. Truth be told, though, he felt quite relaxed, and -just as he had told Dustin- as good as new. He felt almost as if he had been born again.
He lay in the tub for a while, resting and thinking about his next step: talking to Ann. He would also ask Dustin to please help him decipher the Council document that supposedly contained all the information about his origins.
When he got out of the bathtub, he headed to the bedroom to get dressed, but first he stopped in front of the mirror to check his face and see if his wounds had improved with the warm bath water.
When he looked at himself, he got a big surprise: the scratches on his face had disappeared without a trace!
