## Summary

### Day 79: October 12, 2033

Jun shouts in excitement as he finishes making his metal armor set. He plans to paint them white and considers spellbinding them as well. Later, Jun is surprised to see Nugget, 07, and a stranger at his house. They introduce the stranger as Xuanyu, a friend they woke up within the same area. Jun realizes they have a similar situation to him, George, and Mikey. He quickly leaves to go exploring.

Chloe informs Evelyn and Angie about the upcoming change of presidency while mentioning her own term ending. Jun abruptly interrupts their conversation and tells them he is going exploring. He encounters Moises and more unfamiliar people before continuing on his exploration. Moises and his friends enter the town and stop in front of George's house, where Moises humorously places dynamite that eventually explodes. George is awoken by the explosion and witnesses his house being destroyed. He spots Moises and his friends running away. Confused and angered, George vows to become president again in order to seek revenge on Moises. Chloe rushes to George and tries to understand what happened. George contemplates his next move, determined to take action against Moises.

Jun explores the valley with his sword, enjoying the sunny and windy weather. He discovers a hole in the ground leading to an underground basement with loot and a mining tunnel. There, he encounters a boy named Misha Morozov, who recognizes Jun from Izuzunu. They discuss the recent attack on their village by the Doomgaders and Jun offers to let them stay in Izuzunu. Misha leaves to gather his people while Jun stays with another boy named Mark. Jun compliments Mark's hair and asks for his help in an upcoming war. Mark agrees to join but declines Jun's offer of armor, as his previous set was stolen. Mark leaves to prepare himself, and Jun finds him intimidating. Misha returns and reveals they have over fifty people with them, surprising Jun.

Evelyn remarks on Jun leaving his old house without clearing the land. Jun returns with a group of druzels. Chloe explains that Moises destroyed George's house with dynamite due to the dispute over wood. Mark expresses anger towards Moises, while Max makes a playful comment that earns a stern reaction from Mark. Jun decides to talk to Moises but learns that he is not home. Chloe mentions that the logs mysteriously disappeared, leaving them unsure of who took them. Jun then mentions checking on Lilly and heads back to his house.

Moises expresses his intention to start a war against Izuzunu due to someone stealing his wooden logs. Mark finds the reason and situation ridiculous, questioning why Moises would go to war over wood when more is readily available. Moises is determined to kill every Izuzunian except for Jun, regardless of the fact that they provided him with a place to stay. Trying to convince Moises not to start the war, Mark mentions how Izuzunu gave them a home. Mark then runs away, pondering the unfolding situation.

Jun unsuccessfully tries to find someone willing to be the second candidate for president. He asks multiple people, including Lilly, Edison, Evelyn, Angie, Chloe, Max, Misha, Irene, and Mikey, but none of them are interested. Feeling discouraged, Jun gives up and sits in his front yard. Lilly joins him and they contemplate fighting the oshir, a dangerous creature. Xuanyu suddenly appears, and Jun remembers that he never asked Xuanyu if he would like to be president. Jun eagerly asks Xuanyu, who eventually agrees. They celebrate finding the final candidate and discuss their competition, George. Moises watches from a distance and approaches Jun, offering him a choice to join their side or die in the upcoming war. Jun recalls a similar phrase from Summer and weighs his options.
