Disappointment Derby!

Here's a little prediction game to play between pages. Make a guess of the next page that is plausible, but will not actually be the next page. The more likely your prediction the sweeter your victory, but if you guess the contents entirely correct you lose.
For example, if the latest page displayed Alex holding some fruit, and you make the plausible prediction that he will: peel it with a knife and eat it.
If he peels it with a knife and eats it, you lose.
If he instead peels it by hand and eats it, you get a partial win.
If he is put off by the prospect of eating the Loroi produce, and instead offers it to someone, you win big.
An implausible prediction gets you nothing, so guessing that he used the fruit as an improvised weapon, while amusing, counts as a loss.
Jump cuts implying that certain things have happened also count, so if we instead skipped ahead to a post-meal scene and there was fruit peel and a knife together on the table while Alex looked a bit ill, your prediction would be deemed a loss.
Best of luck, and may you be ever so slightly off the mark!
