Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers.

"You have one day of rest," the principal continued. "Use this time wisely. Go take a shower, eat, and recover. You'll need your strength for the challenges ahead."
