Eddie arrived home to an empty house, glad for the chance to eat and sleep in peace. However, that was broken the next morning. Eddie checked to make sure Beek was still asleep before wandering down to see his parents arguing with the only one of his sisters that still lived at home. Ignoring her as best as he could, he sat to eat breakfast. He interrupted the argument to give each of his parents a hug before he heard his sister stomp away, mumbling something about never being at Luna's Lunar Lounge the previous week. He'd have to ask her about it later.

It didn't take long for him to get ready and head out. He left at his normal time but didn't see any of the girls. He thought it was strange but dismissed it as just coincidence.

His school day was long and boring, and it was hard for him to stay awake. Multiple times, he had fallen asleep and his head had fallen to the desk, the impact of which woke him with a shout of, "I'm awake!" It happened once in one odd the classes he shared with Tonya. He was more embarrassed in that class than the others because he did it in front of her.

After school, Eddie left Beek at the stairs before heading to detention. Beek was happy to see his friends and, with a joyful smile, pulled each of them into a hug. "Hoppi, Oscar, Poyzz, it's been forever."
