"Don't be coy, I heard all about it!" He once again pats you on the back in a way that is all too forceful, and a chuckle escapes Hassan. "Good thing you didn't get spored. I've never seen a guy get spored and come out right after that. Messes with the uhhh, the brain!" He's clearly had a few already.
Tonight's party seems to be at a higher level of intensity than normal, perhaps prompted by the explosive events at the Containment Zone. You strain your eyes to see if you can spot anyone from your adventures earlier, but no such luck. Still, Garrett points towards what is presumably his table.
"We gotta celebrate your first successful hunt!" He suddenly remembers Hassan, who apparently has not had the pleasure of meeting him. "And you too, boy, what the hell!"
You think of passing and going to bed, or of consulting Hassan on the matter, or of following up on Miro-miro on her promise of more information, but all possibilities melt from your mind. You're exhausted, and you want to let loose. What's wrong with a bit of partying? You helped slay a monster bigger than a house! You almost got blown up, and turned into a zombie. And all the other shit! You look at Hassan, who seems ready to take him up on the offer. And with that, you join the revelry for the evening.
The consequences of your partying will become clear the morning after... in Episode 2.
