After a moment's contemplation, you shake your head and look at them, telling them that you just want to take some time for yourself for now. "Are you sure?" Balogh asks, placing a hand on your shoulder. "I mean, after what happened just now, you don't want some company?" Larry glances at him suspiciously and then back at you. "What happened just now? Are you all right, Dorn Wilton?" she asks, staring pointedly at you, as do your other teammates.

You smile at them and shake your head, telling them that it wasn't a big deal and you've already informed the correct people. Right now, you think that it's better for you to just head back and relax. You definitely feel that you could use the peace and quiet. Balogh hesitates before he nods and says, "All right, then…if that's what you want. The rest of you, go and get changed so that we can go out and paint this town red."

Everyone nods and heads back to their bunk to get changed, while you head over to the cafeteria to get some coffee. After getting yourself two cups, you run into your teammates and wave goodbye before you head back to your own bunk. On the way back, you don't get any weird feelings, and as you lie on your bed, the memory of what happened earlier starts to slowly fade into the back of your mind.

Was it really just your imagination, you wonder.
