*The gym leader dormitory explodes into morning chaos.* A furious Marine is screaming about a pot of burnt water. Peirs jolts awake, startled. Bede denies everything with icy disdain. Opal scoffs at the youthful drama. Gloria has Hop backed against a wall, challenging him to a battle he doesn't comprehend. Leon's voice thunders from the upper floor, demanding sleep. Raihan flashes a grin and says something flirtatious—Bea's hand meets his cheek with a sharp crack. Allister shrinks into the shadows, only to be drawn out by Melody's gentle comfort. Gordie interrogates the air. Kabu stares into the middle distance, pondering. Milo scratches his head, genuinely asking how water burns. And Nessa, arms crossed and glare icy, declares it's all our fault for antagonizing her Drednaw.
