"Hey, have you seen Valentina?"

Odebode sat next to Cyrus, who was casually eating some buttered toast.

"She's more than likely having her weekly extra hours. I wouldn't worry about it." Cyrus replied calmly.

"Extra hours?" Odebode asked.

"The life of a Nova is filled with many physically draining activities. So Valentina typically spends an extra hour in bed once a week to balance out an otherwise shoddy sleep schedule."

"Oh, for real?" Odebode asked, taking a bite out of his sugary cereal. "Then that's cool, I guess."

"Oh, is Valentina not with you guys?" Vanessa asked.

"Did you not see her?" Cyrus asked. "You two are roommates, right?"

"Well, I-I didn't do anything to her, before you ask!" She yelled. "She just wasn't in our room when she woke up, so I thought she was with you."

"Now that you mention it, the place seems way smaller." Odebode said, looking around the room. "There are twelve people left, right?"
