The rest of the day flew by as people across the globe wondered what they would do with their nights. The game was still offline for mysterious reasons.
Even though most of them ended up getting to sleep early, it was weird for them to be in bed after spending most of their nights in their pods, fighting monsters in another world.

The gaming pod had been forcefully sending them into a sleep-like state for months, and now that they had to sleep on their own, without being completely exhausted, they were having trouble finding peace.
But many people decided to forego sleep that night, and a couple in particular was ten thousand feet in the air, flying above the southern shore of Montreal's metropolitan area.
