INTERIOR. A DINING HALL. DAY.

A spoon dives into a bowl of peas. The spoonful of peas is eaten by a man. He enjoys the food. He has round glasses, his hair is trimmed to the sides and its top is longer, shaped like a fin. Behind him stands another person, with a P’Tonatl robe.

ROUND-GLASSES MAN (softly): ANY NEWS?

P’TONATL: YES.

THERE WAS AN EXISTENTIAL EARTHQUEAKE LEVEL 5… EVERYBODY PASSED OUT.

CHAMPIÑONGO TRIED TO ESCAPE.

THEY FAILED.
