The medicine did wonders for Khan's condition. His internal injuries stabilized in a matter of days before healing completely by the next week's weekend.

Khan's injured state wasn't a secret, so the building avoided deploying him during his recovery. It also held back from doing anything reckless since reinforcements were needed. Onp was actually ready to lose some ground, but Cegnore sent far fewer monsters in the nights after the big battle, making that period easier to endure.

That relative peace created a more relaxed atmosphere, but the main hall turned silent whenever Khan joined the feasts. He still sat and ate with his team, but the past friendliness never returned. He didn't do anything special, but his companions couldn't treat him in the same way as before.
