Returning from the shopette, bag of goods in hand, Jin noticed something quite peculiar about the island. It wasn't merely overpopulated today, it was resurgent. The students were returning to the academy, which meant that today was the first day of the new year. Alarmed by his late realization, Jin sprinted back to his dormitory room, cutting between and in front of returning students as he crossed their paths. He returned to find his room unlocked, with his roommates (some of which he didn't recognize, which didn't necessarily mean they were new) within. In between dressing himself in his proper uniform frantically, he attempted to clean some of the mess that his roommates were apparently distracted by, and fussed with them over what was and was not garbage.

The announcement was read over the speaker system, and Jin grew yet more frantic. He finally gave his roommates the order not to touch anything until he returned and they could settle this formally, and bolted back out of the room. He was sweaty and tired, having not had his morning energy drink, and was quite disheveled from all of this running around. He didn't usually look immaculate, but he was a particular mess today. He had missed several buttons on his shirt, his tie was barely holding together in a knot, one of his shoes had come untied, and his comb was actually stuck in his hair, caught on a matted tangle.

About halfway to the auditorium, Jin found that he had more or less caught up with the crowd, and allowed himself a break. He leaned over onto his knees, panting. Oh, this was hell. He wasn't made to run around like a spring chicken. He wiped the rapidly gathering sweat from his forehead and continued along with the crowd, trying to gravitate toward wherever he saw the greater accumulation of green uniforms. He still wasn't particularly pleased with how this day was going, and wasn't in a terrific mood. He hoped that no one would talk to him, which seemed like the most likely possible occurrence, given that he had no friends.
