graveyard

students in time out: 10

It's a little hard to wake up when the melody that drifts into your ears is so comforting that it'd be so much simpler to stay asleep. Maybe everything that you remember last - the cold seeping into your fingertips, the pain of injury, or the darkness creeping into your vision - will just be parts of a bad dream.

But it's not.

When you wake up, it's probably a little disorienting - you have to push off a blanket and rise from this nice comfortable mat on the floor. Seems like you were all curled up for nap time. Literally. The room that you're in has furniture meant for small humans, children as some might call them, and everything is soft and plush to the touch with rounded corners. Blocks with the alphabet etched onto them, coloring books and crayons, and even a rocking horse dot the room to really give it that childish charm. If you can think of a child-safe toy, it's probably in one of the baskets that line the shelves of the room!

Around the room they'll find baby monitors that broadcast the antics of the living. Hopefully that doesn't feel creepy.

There is a yard outside through the glass doors, but it currently seems to be locked - and the glass won't break no matter how hard you try. There's a large pink door that feels enormous, ten times as tall as you, on one side of the room, but there's no way through that either. At the very top, you might see a directory sign that says: TO ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

Huh.

Well... for now, get comfortable. It looks like you might be here a while.

Do the dead sleep?

Of course. I sleep all the time!

Your napping instinct is showing, Sieghart...

What can I say? There's not a lot to do here compared to the other side.

What have you been up to?

Other than naps.

Oh, you know . . . doing assignments and helping the bear out with projects.

Have they been going well?

Have you managed anything?

We've been doing what we can, but it's hard to tell how much change they've effected. The bear's been slowly recovering his keys, though.

Can you give me an example of what you've done that's been seen in the living world?

Besides the messages you've been seeing in the cafeteria? Nothing. The bear insists that we're helping.

[huh.

...]

Who killed you, Sieghart?

Kainé did.

[blink,]

Was she compelled to?

That's my guess, which is why I don't want anyone here to mess with her.

[...]

Do people have the capability of messing with her...?

It doesn't matter whether or not they have the capability. Her sin concerns me, so I won't forgive anyone who confronts her before I can.

[His words are accompanied by a spike of protectiveness.]

[...]

What will you do, when you do?

I'll talk to her and decide on what to do based on her answers.

[...]

I hope you find the answer satisfactory.

I already know there's no answer I'll find satisfactory. . . . But at least I'll know where to direct my anger by then.

Kainé doesn't strike me as someone who would run away from that.

No, she's the type to run headfirst into it. That's why I'm confident we can settle it on our own.

[she nods!]

That makes sense.

It's good to see you, even if the circumstances are dire.

They could be worse. Our souls are still ours and that means there's a way to restore us completely.

[she nods!]

It's not nice, what we had to do.

But...

[necessary.]
