It might not be, though.

Honestly, with all of the other students and professors around, it might be easy for someone to just slip in without the rest of us noticing.

[momming]

Then maybe it's more likely that they'll show themselves closer to graduation? If they don't want this to end, then...

[departea]

That could be it... if we're all meant to leave when the school year ends, then you'd need to stop that, yeah.

[momming]

... I don't like the idea of having to bide our time, but aside from keeping an eye out, I think that might be all we can do.

[departea]

Maybe.

I mean, that's how stories work narratively, right? You spend the bulk of it trying to figure out what's happening, and then everything happens at the conclusion.

[momming]

[ She nods, sipping at her tea. ]

You're right. It's like a mystery novel, and then the culprit will be revealed and we'll all be shocked and horrified and have to fight them to end things.

[ Yeah. ]

[departea]

So I guess... we just have to figure out how to get the culprit to be revealed then.

[momming]

... Maybe it has to do with the Daycare? If they change their transcripts to no longer be failing, they'd be able to come back and graduate, so technically, there would be no one here left behind to continue.

If I were behind that, I'd want to stop it.

[departea]

If it's something like that...

[ hm. ]

Wouldn't it mean they're currently in the most danger? Even besides the whole-- you know. Dead thing.

[momming]

[ She nods. ]

Even if it's just a theory, I'm definitely concerned. But I also don't know what we can do for them from here.

[departea]

... well, I guess we can just make sure things don't get worse on this side for now.
