At 8:30 am, Zacarias and the other classmates entered their room and were surprised to see Dormitorio sleeping in his bed and using his blanket. Zacarias asked him why he was there, but Dormitorio was not answering. A roommate answered for Dormitorio, and said that a Cadet First Class told him to sleep there. Zacarias pulled Dormitorio out of the bed and told him to stand up, but the plebe could not and was clutching his stomach. He fell on the floor. Zacarias then kicked Dormitorio 5 times on the right side of his body while he was down.
