Alex didn't log back into the game that day.

He woke up, ate some breakfast, studied a bit, helped prepare lunch, ate it and went to school. Once more it was with Sarah and Emily. These 4 were now very close friends. 

"Urghh… I can't wait for saturday. Oh god, it must be so fun in the capsule," Sarah said. 

"I'm highly anticipating it as well," Hannah said. 

Alex didn't listen to any of their talk. He was so out of it today that he didn't even remember half the thing that happened today. 

Emily seemed to be curious as well as to why he was so distant today, but she couldn't bring herself to ask anything. In the end, they went to their respective classes and didn't get to say anything. 

On the way home, Sarah seemed to not have classes on thursdays, so she took them both back home. 

Alex ate some snacks and went back to his room. He wanted to go back into the game, but just couldn't motivate himself to touch the helmet on the bed.
