"Yo! Dorn Wilton!" You hear someone calling out your name during breakfast, and you turn to see who it is. Larry walks over to you, grinning widely. You ask her what's going on, and she continues to grin at you for a while as she takes a seat next to you. "Oh, you're never going to believe what happened," she says, positively bristling with excitement, and you ask her in half-annoyance to tell you what's gotten her so excited.

Larry takes out her phone and hands it to you. Looking at it, you see a picture of a duck and a cat on her screen, and you return the phone to her, asking her what the picture is all about. "You don't like it?" she asks, and you shrug. "Pity," she says and looks around for another person to show it to. You ask if she's bored, and she nods. "Got too much excitement when I first transferred here. Everything else is kinda…dull at this point," she says and looks at you.

The two of you talk for a little longer before heading off to do some work.
