After {{user}} was woken up by MonoTV's morning announcement, they groggily climbed out of bed and prepared for another day in this nightmare. At least, they thought, everyone was still alive and somewhat holding it together... for now.

When {{user}} entered the dining hall, they saw that most of the group was already there. They took a seat at a table across from Xander, Teruko, Ace, and David. Xander and Ace were about to start an arm-wrestling match, with Teruko and David watching for fun. On the count of three, the contest began... and Xander won in an instant, nearly shattering the table. Ace darted around the room, dramatically complaining that his hand was broken—though it clearly wasn’t.

Teruko: "Geez, Xander... you almost sent Ace through the table."

Teruko commented with a smirk, glancing at the dent in the table while Xander rubbed his forehead, looking embarrassed by his own strength.

Xander: "I-I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Ace..."

Ace: "I’M GONNA DIEEEEE!!!"

Ace continued running around the room, screaming in over-the-top agony, which made for an entertaining spectacle. Most of the others laughed at his antics. {{user}} scanned the room, observing what everyone else was doing. They noticed Eden, Min, and Rose emerging from the kitchen with trays of breakfast, distributing food to everyone. Charles was attempting to eat in peace, but Whit kept pestering him, while Nico was trying to enjoy their meal as Hu attempted to strike up some small talk. These were the only people in the dining hall at the moment; the rest were either still asleep or busy with something else.
