You attempt to slip away, employing your stealthy skills. However, in your haste, you accidentally knock someones bible out of their, causing a loud thud. tsk tsk. The church aunty's eagle eyes fixate on you, and she catches you in the act. With a disapproving look, she calls you over for a chat, leaving you to navigate the impending conversation with less finesse than you had hoped.Apparently, the shadows decided to take a coffee break just as you attempted your grand escape. Stealth level: Beginner. [[next|sunday lunch]]

As you warmly welcome the approaching church aunty, your lying skills go into overdrive. You find yourself unintentionally agreeing with everything she says, from her views on the weather to her intricate theories on the spiritual significance of church potlucks. Soon, you're trapped in a web of agreement, and the aunty, delighted by your apparent camaraderie, insists on extending the conversation to more riveting topics. Your attempt to charm has backfired, leaving you entangled in a Communication conundrum of your own creation. The church aunty, blissfully unaware, continues her monologue, and you wonder if there's a superhero hotline for social mishaps. [[next|sunday lunch]]

Without setting an alarm, you wake up naturally, realising that your internal clock is perfectly synchronized with the church schedule. Your parents praise your uncanny ability to align with divine timing, and you sail through the morning. Well done. [[next|yes]]

You decide to adopt a strategy of nonchalance. As the church aunty approaches, you remain seated, staring blankly into the distance as if contemplating the profound revelations of The Word.

Between bites of your favourite dish, a sudden realisation hits you like a lightning bolt – tomorrow is your friend's birthday party, and it's a sleepover! Now faced with a crucial decision, you contemplate the timing of broaching the subject with your parents. Should you ask for permission to go now, planting the seed early? Or perhaps, you consider asking later, strategically choosing a moment? Then again, you could just dip. 1. [[Ask now]] 2. [[Ask late]] 3. [[Just dip (tomorrow ofc)]]

Your parents, known for their strict no-sleepover policy, surprisingly glance at each other before nodding in agreement. They express reservations but ultimately, give you permission to attend the party. There's a catch, though – you're expected to return home at an appropriate time. You enjoy the rest of the Sunday lunch. [[next|chores]]

Unfortunately, the timing doesn't align with your favor. When you finally gather the courage to ask, your parents, stick to their strict no-sleepover policy. They ask you "Why do you like to ask things late? 😡." This day-before behaviour is the same one that is costing you marks." They remind you that your term 2 report marks were mediocre, therefore you will be spending your holidays chowing books. They express concern about maintaining a stable routine and the importance of home. The rest of Sunday carries disappointment. [[next|GAME OVER]] <<audio womp play>>
