Alan emerges from his room, his expression calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. A shadow passed by his room earlier, creating an air of suspense.

The room behind him is empty, but Alan looks like a new person, his demeanor changed.

He walks towards the dining hall, his steps confident and purposeful.

In the dining hall, everyone is gathered, eating and talking. Alan quietly gets his food and sits at a corner table, isolating himself from the others.

He eats very lightly, his mind seemingly elsewhere. His face is unreadable.

Mike, sitting with Zen, Timp, and Kanaeo, notices Alan's behavior. 

Mike: "Have you guys noticed Alan? He's acting strange."

Zen, Timp, and Kanaeo look over at Alan, concern visible on their faces. 

Zen: "Yeah, he's been different since that meeting." 

Timp: "Do you think it has something to do with Lucifer?" 

Kanaeo: "Or maybe something else entirely. He seems more... detached."

Alan finishes his meal and quietly leaves the hall, his movements deliberate and almost mechanical.

The group watches him go, their worry deepening. 

Mike: "We need to find out what's going on with him."

"This isn't like him at all." 

Zen: "Agreed. Let's give him some space for now, but we should talk to him soon." 

Timp: "Yeah, we need our leader back." 

Kanaeo: "Whatever it is, we’ll get through it together."

The scene shows Alan walking down a dimly lit corridor, his face set in a determined expression, the suspense of the shadow lingering in the air.

Gaku joins the group at their table, taking a seat with a casual smirk. 

Gaku: "Well, don’t y’all think he's so weak that he got beaten by a girl?"

Zen, Mike, Timp, and Kanaeo look at Gaku with mixed expressions of surprise and disapproval. 

Aarush takes a seat.

"Gaku enough."

Gaku: meh

Aarush: "It's not healthy to judge someone."

"What you gonna do if he's gonna be the hero soon"

Gaku: "not like he's gonna save you anyways though."

"He's weaker to save someone."

Aarush: "I'm strong for myself."

"And when i die,"

"I'd die getting killed by someone rather than killing someone."

"Cuz true strength doesn't come from violence."

Gaku: "but once you're a leader you must be eligible for everything."

"He sucks."

Mike: "Gaku, that's not fair."

"We don't know the whole story."

Gaku leans back in his chair, crossing his arms. 

"Fair or not, it's what happened. And everyone’s talking about it."

Timp frowns, clearly irritated. 

"Alan’s our leader. He’s been through a lot. We should support him, not mock him."
