The first place to eat that everyone found themselves in was a bar. They knew that they likely shouldn't be there, so they scrambled out to find something else.

They had come across several restaurants serving many different foods, but none of them seemed to fit with what they wanted. At least, other than Kel, who practically begged them to stop at every restaurant.

Finally, they had come to a restaurant that seemed perfect. It was quite large and modern-looking. 10 other people were seated at the tables, laughing and chatting.

Above the order counter, "P I Z Z A Z O N E" was written in a block-letter-like font.

The six of them had managed to agree to order one large pepperoni pizza for all of them to share.

Mari walked up to the order counter while Sunny led the rest of the group to a table.

"Hi, I would like one large pepperoni pizza, please!" Mari said to the woman at the counter.

"Right away!" the woman said. She turned to a man near the back, who looked to be the chef. He nodded and went back into the kitchen.

"That'll be ready in about thirty minutes." the woman said. "You can go to your table until then."

"Alright, thank you!" Mari said.

Mark walked over to the table, and told everyone when the pizza would be ready. To pass the time, they decided to come up with a game plan for their survival and escape of the Backrooms.

"Aubrey, what's the safest exit?" Hero asked.

"Quantum fluctuations...?" Aubrey replied, confused. "But those are rare. The SECOND safest exit would be to either Level 11 or Level 88."

"Order 15!" the woman at the counter said.

"That's us!" Mari said.

She got up to go pick up the pizza. Once she got back, she placed it on the center table. The pizza was conveniently pre-sliced into six large pieces. Everyone took one piece and started eating. They took their time, knowing that nothing or no one would hurt them.

As he was thirsty, Kel decided to drink the soda that he found in Barnaby Bun's Fun Emporium. Nobody had noticed him drink it. He decided to put the can back into the crate on his back.

When they finished, they all got up, and Aubrey looked at her phone to find how to get to the safe exits.

"We need to find the glass doors at the entrance." Aubrey said.

Everyone walked there and Sunny opened the glass doors.

They found themselves in an endless cityscape.

"This should be Level 11." Aubrey remarked.

"I don't like it here, it's spooky, can we go back?" Basil asked.

But when he turned around, the glass doors that had brought them into the level were gone.
