Early morning on Fire Island.
Thira climbed out of bed and stretched comfortably.
While brushing her teeth in the bathroom, she suddenly heard chattering voices coming from outside.
What is everyone doing gathering outside so early in the morning?
She spat out the toothpaste and rinsed her mouth. After thoroughly washing her face, she pushed open the door and walked out.
Descending the stairs, she saw several girls surrounding Peggy, discussing something with puzzled faces.
Peggy was kneeling on a cushion, tears continuously falling from her eyes, yet her tear-stained face bore a smile of relief.
A sign hung around her neck, with the words:
"I am a fool who violated team discipline."
"Alright, alright!" Nora stepped forward to disperse the crowd. "What are you looking at, huh? Loitering around here… Go do what you need to do."
The girls dispersed noisily, and Thira approached Peggy, speechless for a long while before asking Nora,
"What happened here?"
