since there's no clock, you have to settle for repetition, k ? first, make sure it IS daytime, by waking up. try many different times of going in, for dinner. you can tell if you're too late, when it's dark (the shops will close). so, you might as well go to bed, try again the next day. eventually, you DO get to eat !
