Dirk is left alone through the night, but is woken up with a few rough stamps of a spear's butt against the floor next to his bed at first light. The routine starts similar to dinner the previous day: A small breakfast of water and a few fried eggs, followed about an hour later by an escort to the woods. Instead of going directly back to the village, though, Dirk is walked about thirty minutes southwest to square XI.T.15, deeper into the mangrove forest, where he's allowed to wash up on the banks of a large, shallow river among the roots. By the time he and his guard turn back towards the village, it's about four hours into Morning 009.
