Jay POV
Everything was starting to feel… routine.
And I didn't know if that was good or dangerous.
SCHOOL 📚
Felix was late.
Which already felt suspicious.
Ci-n leaned over.
"If Felix is quiet, I'm worried."
Yuri nodded.
"That's not normal behavior."
David was already revising.
Like a responsible human.
Calix was staring at the ceiling.
Thinking again.
Too much thinking.
Keifer sat across from me.
Not talking much today.
Just… watching.
I caught him staring.
"What?"
"Nothing," he said too fast.
I narrowed my eyes.
"That means something."
He smirked slightly.
"You're predictable."
"No I'm not."
"You are when you're annoyed."
I looked away.
Mila whispered:
"You two are weirdly loud without talking."
AFTER SCHOOL 🏢🔥
Bell rang.
Instant chaos.
Felix finally arrived.
Running.
Out of breath.
"I WAS BUSY."
"Doing what?" Yuri asked.
"Existing aggressively."
Ci-n:
"That's fake productivity."
BASE ARRIVAL 🏢
Zane looked up.
"Everyone is late today."
Felix:
"Spiritually I was here earlier."
Zane:
"That means nothing."
TRAINING DAY 🥊🏍️
Rina didn't even bother talking much now.
Just pointed.
Everyone already knew.
Keifer moved immediately.
Yuri matched him.
David followed steadily.
Calix was analyzing mid-action again.
Felix was trying.
Ci-n was complaining while still moving.
Blaster was enjoying violence a little too much.
Rina finally said:
"Better."
Felix gasped dramatically.
"She said it again!"
TECH ROOM 💻
Edrix was now basically running half the system tests.
Zane just watched.
Rory leaned back:
"We're useless now."
Zane:
"No. You're backups."
Rory:
"That's worse."
SERAPHINE GROUP 🎭
Eman, Josh, Mayo.
Seraphine's challenge today:
"Track movement patterns in real time."
Josh:
"That sounds like math."
Seraphine:
"It is."
Josh:
"I quit."
Mayo was already doing it properly.
Eman too.
Slowly improving.
Seraphine nodded.
"Good."
MOTOR & RANGE 🏍️🎯
Elias actually didn't yell much today.
Because Felix only crashed once.
Progress.
Noah:
"Improvement."
Felix:
"I feel attacked again."
David hit near center again.
Yuri too.
Keifer slightly better than yesterday.
Noah:
"Consistency is forming."
LOUNGE 🍜
Everyone collapsed.
Again.
Felix:
"I think my soul left my body."
Ci-n:
"Mine took a vacation."
Yuri:
"Same."
David:
"Food."
KEIFER & JAY 💙
Keifer sat beside me again.
Quieter than usual.
"This feels too easy now," he said.
I looked at him.
"That's when people relax and die."
He nodded slowly.
"You always say things like that casually."
"Because it's true."
Silence.
Then he added:
"But I like it here."
I didn't answer immediately.
Because I noticed something too.
The base wasn't chaotic anymore.
Not really.
It was… stable.
And stability meant something else was coming.
Even if nothing showed it yet.
Felix suddenly shouted:
"GROUP PHOTO!"
"NOT AGAIN."
FLASH.
Everyone complaining.
Everyone laughing.
Everyone arguing.
And Keifer looking at me like he already knew what I was thinking.
"It won't stay like this forever," he said quietly.
I nodded slightly.
"I know."
And for once…
I wasn't sure if I was ready for what came after the calm.
