William felt more reassured this way. He didn't like having just one solution, making him feel he had his back against a cold rocky wall.
During the time he spent recuperating and thinking things over, Arthur had a long discussion with his group.
He and others already saw what William experienced inside that world. They started to discuss what just happened, trying to reach a single question that would answer all of their dilemmas.
They kept talking for three days. During this, Jeremy was dying out of worry about his friend and boss. He knew there wasn't any risk in waiting for longer, but he wanted to see Leo getting freed from such status anytime soon.
So he kept pestering Arthur and interrupted the meeting more than once. He even tried to sneak himself towards William's place, to find it locked and the entrance was heavily protected by many guards.
In the end, he had to wait outside Arthur's meeting place, until the latter finally got out.
