Reeve worked for several hours after 11-12 had gone to bed, trying to iron out the problems with the hydroelectric dam so that they could move forward on construction before the snow began to fall. As a result, he slept late the next morning, although he hadn't forgotten his promise to take 11-12 out for clothes and to see the ocean.

He finally rose at a little after 9 AM, clothed in pajamas that were a very close match to the set he'd loaned 11-12, and stumbled into the kitchen with eyes only for his coffee pot. He guessed that his houseguest was already awake, but the boy might want to steer clear until he'd been properly caffeinated.
