George wakes up in bed the morning the event starts, which isn't unusual. She and Shaun live together back home, in their little apartment slash office in Oakland, and they saw no reason to change things here.

More specifically, she wakes up on a day that, to her, feels like any other. She knows there's an event coming. There's a reason she's sleeping fully dressed. But it hasn't hit yet, as far as she can tell.

She leans over and presses a kiss to Shaun's cheek. They're still not public with their relationship, even here in Wonderland, since they do have a reputation to maintain. But months of not being caught have made them a lot less careful than they were back home. Acting affectionate in bed is a risk she's okay taking.

"Morning, dumbass."

They have the sweetest pet names.
