Bree suddenly coughed a few times, as if he was choked by something. He immediately turned around and walked to a nearby table to pour himself a glass of water, then sat down.
He pulled out two chairs next to him and said, "Come, ladies, sit down."
"No," Rico leaned against the fence, "It's quite comfortable for us to enjoy the breeze here."
Several boys who were following Bree quickly sat down next to him, and no one spoke.
Bree put one hand on the table and hugged the back of the chair with the other, "Why are you here so early? Dinner doesn't start until half past eight."
"Just walking around. There were too many chores yesterday and I didn't have time."
Bree nodded with a smile, "Yes, we should go around. This ship is so famous, why not look around!"
He put down the water glass and leaned back slightly, "But have you noticed that there are no people everywhere today."
"Normally," Rico said softly, "a passenger ship that can accommodate 6,000 passengers only has about thirty passengers on board, so of course it will be extremely empty."
"Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about," Bree said with a meaningful smile on his face, "Except for us, everyone else was frightened by Si Lei's sensational speech last night - I asked the guy at the front desk, He said that most passengers today chose the three-meal delivery service and basically stayed in their rooms all day."
Rico withdrew his gaze and raised his chin slightly, "What did you do today?"
"Training." Bree patted the back of the chair. "Instead of wasting time on those unfounded fears, it is better to concentrate on doing your own thing."
Rico shrugged, "This sentence still makes sense."
"We have a small event tonight, are you free to come and take a look?"
"What kind of activity?"
""The Birth of Alek" - we have been waiting for almost half a year," Bree replied. "Oh, I forgot to mention that this is a stage play. Although several supporting actors did not board the ship, we temporarily used substitutes. 'Actor', the effect can be said to be outstanding."
"Who is in the audience?"
"There are many, like Monsieur Robbeglier——"
"Okay, I'll go take a look." Rico agreed quickly, and she held Hesta's arm, "Are you coming too?"
"Well……"
"Can I bring my friends?" Rico confirmed to Bree.
Bree's throat moved and she forced a smile, "Of course, if it's you, bringing a few friends won't be a problem, although..."
Rico had looked at Hesta again, "How is it?"
Hesta approached Rico's ear expressionlessly: "Are you sure you want me to go with you?"
"Don't worry, if you can't hold on, I'll carry you back," Rico whispered, "I've been curious about this Roboclier for a long time. Don't you want to meet this person up close?"
Hesta looked puzzled: "Who is this person..."
"I'll tell you in detail later. This person has caused a lot of controversies in District 1."
Hesta looked at her watch and said, "Okay."
…
Near seven o'clock, Hestad sat in the first row of the Grace Theater with a basket of bread - this was obviously not the seat with the best audio-visual effects, but it was the only row in the entire theater with its own small table. chair.
Perhaps because she woke up very late today, Hesta was not too sleepy at the moment. In the dim theater, she chewed on the extra pre-dinner bread provided by the restaurant and stared at the stage in front of her indifferently.
From this angle, she could see some people running around in the background. Among the swaying figures, Bree was the most conspicuous one, mainly due to the jeweled crown on his head. Obviously, there have been some accidents in this show that Bree claims to be "outstanding", and the actors who are about to take the stage are making temporary adjustments.
Taking advantage of this gap, Rico walked around the theater. When she returned to Hesta again, Rico's eyes widened: "...Have you finished eating?"
"You mean bread?" Hesta touched the bottom of the basket, "It's not much..."
"These are pre-dinner bread! How can you eat after you've finished eating them?"
"I may not be able to wake up until then..."
"Are you serious?" Rico leaned closer, "You woke up at two o'clock in the afternoon today. If you still want to achieve the goal of 'ten hours awake time', you can only go to bed at twelve o'clock tonight at the earliest - I I won’t be accommodating to you on this kind of thing.”
"I know," Hesta sighed, "I'm just reminding you that there is this risk..."
Last month, Dr. Yanni of the base officially announced that Hestad had entered the recovery period and could begin to consider appropriately reducing his drug intake-as long as Hestad could maintain more than ten hours of wakefulness per day, then every twenty-eight hours would be enough. The dosage can be reduced by 0.15 g per day.
However, if there are fluctuation days in the middle, the observation period needs to be extended unconditionally for fifteen days, which means that the next "drug reduction cycle" will have to start counting half a month later.
Today happens to be the last day of the first tapering cycle.
Hesta stared at the rotating second hand on the dial, with many thoughts in her mind. Although she had a strong will to persist until midnight, Turan's instructions also occupied a place in her mind in the afternoon.
She decided to try, but only a little.
On the side, Rico adjusted the angle of his seat.
"They must have sent invitations to all the passengers," Rico laughed. "I found chairs with everyone's names in the middle audience area - but except for us, no one else seemed to come."
"Where are the Robogliers?" Hesta asked softly,
"I just met him backstage, and he seemed pretty irritable right now."
Rico lowered his voice and mentioned the Eden Community in District 1 to Hesta. The more Hesta heard it, the more familiar the name became. However, she really had no impression of everything Rico said...
"Perhaps you heard it from others? This whole thing is quite famous at the Mercury Needle in District 1. It's not surprising that someone has told you about it."
Hesta yawned and nodded sleepily.
She looked around. The play that was originally scheduled to open at seven o'clock had not moved until seven twenty, and there were still only the two of them in the audience of the entire theater.
If this continues, it may only be a matter of time before I fall asleep...
At this moment, the entire theater suddenly became extremely bright, and all the overhead lights and side lights were turned on at the same time. Hesta was defenseless and instinctively covered her eyes with her hands.
The two main doors of the theater and the side doors at both ends of the stage opened at the same time. Immediately afterwards, dense footsteps slowly approached from a distance. Rico and Hesta turned back at the same time, and sure enough, they soon saw the crowds filing in - most of these people. Also wearing the uniform of the crew of the Ascension.
The crowd all rushed to the front row, and soon Hesta saw a few familiar figures - Si Lei, Anna and Zero walking at the back of everyone.
