Cleanse

With Ohta keeping tabs on him during his daily gauntlet, Will returned to the enclosure with Kataline and Julietta in two to find his dinner and two extra plates waiting. The time was only 7:43 AM, but since it was hot and humid during the day and most Zoans were active at night, everyone got in the habit of sleeping from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Following one of the heartiest meals of their lives, Kataline and Julietta accompanied Will into the dome-shaped tent he set up to accommodate their discussion. From the outside, it looked like an egg-shell white dome, but the interior was comparable to a suite with red carpeted floors, white walls, a peculiar lighting system that resembled two overlapping rings, a small kitchenette with a refrigerator, an attached bathroom, a king-sized bed covered in maroon blankets and numerous pillows, and a wood dining table encircled by a well-cushioned red booth.
