[And yet, routine seems to have returned. The Researcher makes morning and evening announcements as if nothing has happened. Meals are served in the dining hall. The copies of Oregon Trail in the computer lab now have a text-only mode for some reason? Penny has not been seen since Friday, and attempts to access the Security Room have been fruitless.]
[But overall, life in the Facility has remained unchanged. But the atmosphere is getting tenser - sooner or later something is going to break.]

No, I'm okay...I thought I'd come by early since I wasn't doing anything else.
...do you need any help with anything?

Penny-san, if you don't mind me asking...how come you are having this movie night in the first place?

[Penny fiddles with a packet of off-brand M&Ms.]
After- what the Researcher did, though-
[She spares a quick glance up at one of the cameras, just for a second.]
,,,I don't know. I mean- I THINK he's actually serious, and- I'm just- ...I don't know what else to do. I know this isn't- going to just FIX anything, or stop it if someone takes him seriously, but. It's something, I guess? Does that make sense?

...you had no idea he was going to do this, did you?

He's my friend, he's always told me, before, what he was going to do, but this- no.
