After unpacking and settling down all the candidates were finally allowed to go downstairs. They walked to the dining room and saw that they had prepared a feast for them. They all looked at the food excitedly. Eden looked at Naomi when she called him.
"I saved you a seat next to me."
He sat next to her at the head of the table with a smile. He genuinely likes Naomi, she's the only one who had his back in the original timeline. She could see Astrid for who she was and she defended him until he was eliminated. Someone having his back rarely ends well for them and as usual, Naomi paid the price with her life. Eden will make sure it doesn't happen this time.
They all took a seat and ate in a good mood. Eden spoke and laughed with Naomi. He found out more about her and the whole time he could feel two pairs of eyes on him but he ignored them.
