I just arrived in Russia. As I'm walking to find some people I know I see Sasha, Rena's new boyfriend, and I call out his name. He's walking down an old stone corridor of an old public building. He slows down for me and we walk out to a courtyard where there's an old docked ship, illuminated from the moon above. Young orphan boys from ROOF are on the ship, miserable and upset with their lives. I talk with them and about three or four end up throwing themselves off the ship ending their lives on the cobblestone ground with a crunch. I find Rena and ask why they do things like this, Rena is unresponsive, even after I ask if she can help me use the Moscow Metro. Sasha ends up helping me and I make my way back to our apartment which we are now sharing with my co-worker, Alexa, from Whole Foods. Except it was also half of the house in Cape May, so we also had our own rooms. Rena had cleaned out our living room completely empty to make way for a huge party she was going to have. I was upset about this because I didn't want to have to clean up after a party.

I was walking down West River Drive with Tom and Eric, it's late afternoon and there are cars and bike riders and joggers as there usually are. Except we're walking on the side of the road that has no sidewalk- but now it does. And it has a grate so you can catch a glimpse into the sewer system and the underground city below. I see a man lurking in the darkness, looking up at us splashing through ankle deep water following us as we walk. I mention something to Tom and Eric, but they dismiss it and keep walking. A few minutes later I see the man poking his head up through the grate and looking at us. I start panicking, but again Tom and Eric don't seem to be bothered.
