"It's morning?" Ed says. "Something doesn't feel right." Starvation instantly hit Ed, sending him into a trance for a few seconds. He didn't know what it was, but he heard a vivid flat-line and multiple voices. He woke to himself close to his desk where an aureate meal was. His starvation made him wildly eat it, causing an ominous feel. He went outside, the view was a beach, with umbrellas, chairs, and even blankets. However, nobody was there except Ed. He walked around, looking for any life. Nothing. A mortifying scream made Ed run with perplexing speed. He ran back to the room, but there was a different door. He walked through it, as he went into a large room. A monitor appeared. "It's time to pretend."
