A.D. quickly changed into dry clothes, his body still trembling from the cold water. Shin helped him, his face etched with worry. Once dressed, they rejoined the others.
"A.D., did you see the last message?" Sharleen asked, her voice tinged with urgency.
"Hmm!" A.D. acknowledged, his gaze distant.
David looked around at the shark-infested waters surrounding them. "How do we get out of this college?" he asked, his voice strained. "You know how difficult it was to come here. How can it be done?"

"Don't panic," A.D. said to David, his voice raspy. "We will make a small boat and get out from here. The place where we are has all the things we need; we can make anything here." He then urged, "Come, let's start to make it."
Suddenly, A.D. stumbled and fell. Shin quickly helped him to stand. Jane, watching from outside the game, asked, "What happened to you?"
"Nothing," A.D. replied, dismissing her concern. "It's because of the cold."
"You'll have to rest," Sharleen insisted. "We'll start it tomorrow."
"But we don't have much time!" A.D. protested.
"We have five days," Sharleen countered. "So don't worry. It will be done easily."
"Okay," A.D. conceded. He then told Shin and Michael to get some food from the quarter kitchen. They returned with provisions, and the group ate. Night came, and everyone slept.
