Meggy awoke the next morning feeling well rested. She felt uncomfortable and tender in her nether regions, but that wasn't gonna stop her from having a better day. She got out of her cell and saw the prisoner who had raped her yesterday. She just smiled and flipped him off as she passed him. He growled, but she just laughed. He was being punished for attacking another prisoner by not being allowed outside his cell except for food for the day. Meggy knew she would have to deal with again sometime soon, but she said to herself that she would be ready that time. All she had to do, was "kick him where the sun don't shine." That was a quote she had learned from an old friend.

Her face dropped a bit when she remembered the quote. She had heard it from Desti.

Meggy: I'm sorry I couldn't win this for you, Desti.

She continued walking, now feeling a little worse. She passed by a couple of the prisoners and even though they were now seemingly on her side, she noticed that they continued to stare at her lustfully. All she could do was keep on walking and try and ignore them. Some of them called out her name, and she waved back, but still remained quiet. The last thing she needed was to get used to this place. One of the prisoners seemed to catch up with her and match pace.

Prisoner 139: Hey, how are you feeling this morning?

Meggy: ...I've been better, but I'm alive and moving.

Prisoner 139: That's good. Say, what were you just talking about? I heard you say the name, Desti?

Meggy: Oh...yeah. She's a friend of mine, who's...

She looks away.

Prisoner 139: I...I'm sorry to hear.

Meggy: Thanks. It's been...a couple years now, but I think I'm starting to adjust.

Prisoner 139: What were you saying you're sorry for?

Meggy: I was supposed to compete in the FinalFest this year...but I had a run in with a competing team...and let's just say: They're not the friendliest people.

Prisoner 139: If they aren't the friendliest, why are you here? And not them? I mean, you don't seem like the type to just go to prison.

Meggy: I...attacked a close friend of mine...on accident. He was trying to save me from hurting them, but...I broke, and I hurt him badly...

Meggy: Shut up, Mario! Let me handle this!

Mario: No you can't. You'll get in trouble!

Meggy: I said stop!!

Mario: No!

She swings the knife, but not at Sprocket or her team, but at Mario. The knife cut deep into his arm and he fell backwards, clutching his arm as blood ran down it. Meggy immediately dropped the knife and stood still.

Sprocket: Now the cops are definitely coming. Let's get out of here!

Rigel: I'm with ya!

Xavier: I can't go to prison! Our flight leaves tomorrow!

They run off, leaving Meggy and Mario with a crowd of bystanders all staring at her.
