The pair bond with Rufus, who is still rather optimistic despite their situation. They’re subject to fights, Goal thankfully handling herself and Cletus being paired against someone on their last legs, but its tough, and their food reward turns their stomachs. ((So this is our fate?/Scrapping for table scraps below the table/so we can live to fight another day))

Eventually Rufus is thrown back in with them.
