Alexa coming out of my gym like a panda while Isaac coming out of my gym like he had a colonoscopy—both saying not a word of what happened—just confused the people that were left for Phase 3. However, it didn't take long before one of the eager ones decided to knock before I even had the chance to call another participant.
"Ah— Come in?"
Then Chris' head popped out:
"Bro! I— Am I really in Hell Week or not?! I— I did everything you asked! I—"
"Come in, come in. Let's have a nice talk, Chris."
"Uh— O-Okay?"
"Sit down in front of me…"
"Sure…"
In any case, Chris did as he was told and made his way towards me—and as he sat down, he was looking all over, and seemed to be looking for something in particular before our eyes met. And as soon as that happened, he was just staring right at my face, waiting for me to open my mouth.
I chuckled as I opened with my opener, "'Sup?"
"Ah— I'm okay, I guess?"
