On the side of the ship opposite to the area where the cabins were, was the ship's center of entertainment. This area contained the theater, the gambling room, the various restaurants, and even a few halls inside which people could exchange their objects with the items they required, or look through the items possessed by other individuals.
Due to the length of the travels, this area would usually be the most lively of the entire ship. Everyone that wouldn't close themselves in their cabins to cultivate, would spend their day in these areas, where they could interact with other passengers, make trades, or even just enjoy being around people.
That was the case until fifteen minutes earlier.
