"Date?" The rest of the group turned to Maria with curious eyes.
"Wh-- What do you mean date? We're not dating." Maria blurted out, she seemed to be getting somewhat flustered.
"Who said anything about dating?" Arthur asked with a grin.
The rest of the group picked up on the new topic and ran with it, causing Maria's cheeks to turn bright pink. She was eventually saved when the developers opened the door and requested the first group to enter.
The briefing was small, but it mostly focused on the fact that everything was back online, along with a couple small changes that didn't really affect the first group. The briefing ended quickly and the group was ushered towards their capsule room.
Arthur noticed that he didn't really get any strange looks, so they either hadn't noticed the changes yet, or just didn't care.
A little while later. everyone had entered the capsules and logged in.
