The week felt long and heavy for Dayo.
He didn't feel like himself anymore. Normally, he was full of life — smiling, working, laughing with people. But this time, everything about him was quiet. Even his eyes looked tired.
At first, no one knew what was wrong until one of the contestants mentioned that Dayo's uncle had passed away. The news spread fast — from the contestants, to the crew, and then to the internet.
Soon, it was everywhere.
People online were posting old clips of him, writing things like "Stay strong, bro," and "Sorry for your loss." The same media that had mocked him last week, saying "karma finally caught up with him," were now pitying him. Everyone was suddenly kind again.
But Dayo didn't care about the noise. His heart was heavy.
His father took the news hard. He used to be a soldier too before he retired — only because Dayo's mom begged him to leave the force. Marcus' death hit him like a wound reopening.
