Exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally, Ronan ended up passing out on the spot.
Lucien remained lucid for some time before he too was knocked out for the night.

He carefully disentangled himself from Ronan to prevent the latter from waking up.

Walking across the bedroom, he found a glass door behind a set of thick curtains. It opened to a round balcony.
