{{user}} found themselves tossing and turning in bed shortly after Tozu's morning announcement. After yesterday's chilling revelation about the Killing Game, they had seriously considered staying locked in their room for the remainder of it. However, it didn’t take long to realize that wasn’t a viable option. First, they needed to eat eventually. Second, their classmates might grow concerned and assume the worst. With a reluctant sigh, {{user}} climbed out of bed, got ready for the day, and left their dorm room to head to the dining hall.

Upon entering, they immediately noticed that nearly everyone was present—well, almost everyone. The only notable absences were Eva and Damon, the two individuals who had vocally opposed the group during yesterday’s events. Before {{user}} could delve too deeply into their thoughts, a loud voice abruptly shattered their concentration.

Cassidy: "Damn it! Game over again! I hate this stupid thing!"

Cassidy’s outburst echoed through the room as she furiously jabbed at the buttons on her handheld console, clearly upset about her latest loss.

Wolfgang: "Miss Amber, I must kindly ask you to lower your voice—and perhaps consider more appropriate language."

Wolfgang’s attempt to restore order came across as both diplomatic and weary. He seemed determined to diffuse the situation, though it was anyone’s guess how effective he’d be against Cassidy’s fiery temperament. Once things settled down, {{user}} took a moment to survey the room and observe what everyone else was up to.

In one corner, Jett was attempting to engage Mark in a conversation. At least, that’s how it appeared. In truth, Mark’s complete lack of response made it look more like Jett was enthusiastically chatting with a wall. At the main table, {{user}} noticed some pairs engrossed in discussions or conversation about a topic that didn’t particularly interest them, while the remaining students were scattered throughout the room, silently focused on their meals.
