(Damon POV)


...

During our briefing in the dining hall about the bunking partners, the pairings were ultimately divided among the male students via a simple round of rock-paper-scissors.

When it had come down to me and Jean, I had unfortunately lost the round, leaving the pairings as follows: Desmond with Jean, Ulysses with Wolfgang, Jett with Mark, and...

"Um... This'll act as our marker."

...Kai and me, much to my annoyance and exhaustion.

I was staring down at a line of tape he had applied from the middle of the door to the closet.

"A marker?" I asked.

"To divide the room. See where you're staring? That's your side of the room. This side is mine. If you step over the tape, you'll be in my territory," Kai relayed.

I couldn't believe this guy.

"Are you serious? You're splitting the room in two? You realize this tape can't stop me from stepping over, right?" I scoffed.

"No! Don't you dare!" Kai shouted, "If you enter my side, I'll scream! I'll scream bloody fucking murder!"

"Okay, calm down..."

There was no point putting up a fight. It seemed I was stuck on this side of the room. 

Meaning...no bed.

Dammit. How the hell am I meant to sleep now? There must be something around here I can use...

Taking a look around at what I had on my side, I saw a light pink sofa with a patterned cushion that sat near the doorway. Looked like this sofa was my bed for tonight.

"If only our kidnappers included spare bedding..." I murmured to myself.

They clearly have the funding. How else could they build a huge dome sky or an entire pharmacy? Makes me wonder where all the money comes from...

I crawled onto the sofa, my mind consumed by a cacophony of questions. There was just so. much to unpack. So much I couldn't answer. The pharmacy, the PIN pad... and everything that happened after...

All of it followed me...deep into sleep.

"So that's the sitch, huh...? Well, I guess there's nothing else I can do but figure something out..."

I sat down on my bed, deep in thought about what I discovered after my trip to the pharmacy.

Let's see if I still have them with me...
