Alright, I haven't been able to identify the guy I saw. He's not in the Haling High yearbook. So, either he's homeschooled, new this year, or I imagined him and just have a thing for the Kurt Cobain look.

Lenore says if he was a Shadow, then he must have been an incredibly weak one since he didn't set off alarms. Also, now my room doesn't have a floor length mirror because it's been quarantined, and the local psychic thinks I'm a stalker.

[Marzio and Tal]

Thanks, you two did great. Ready for Thursday?

Hm. If that's the case, I hope we can find a way to release him. Anyone who's stuck like that. It's [...] a lot to think about.

It might not be real at all.
I'm just guessing now.

Leaders + Seconds

[empereurs]

That wasn't a real person. Being trapped in a castle dungeon was more of a [...] Shadow metaphor.

But... they did keep the kids from the bus alive. For a short time.

Leaders + Seconds

[weewilywilkie]

I [...] just wonder if they could do the same to real people.
[...] And we found [...] that room of dead teenagers.

I don't want to panic.
They're probably not real either. But

It's hard to tell what's real and what isn't.

Do you think the body that burned could've

Almost everything's guesswork at this point.
It's [...] frustrating.

Leaders + Seconds

[unironickylorenfan]

Sometimes I can't even tell if we're making a difference and

[...] Very. But [...] putting your weapon in a Shadow feels real enough. We'll be back at it in a few days, regardless of where our present mystery stands.

Are you
And that's the most urgent thing, anyway.
Maybe we'll pick up more clues.

Doors with puzzles for locks usually mean secrets. [...] I hope Maybe we'll find something when we open it.

Leaders + Seconds

[weewilywilkie]

I hope we can make our way to the door.
Or someone.
[...] Related. I wish there was a way for us to get small items like keys to other groups. In-temple courier pigeons.
Oh well.

Leaders + Seconds

[unironickylorenfan]

Maybe [...] it's something our supports will be capable of someday. Our own potential's another thing we don't really understand.

Leaders + Seconds

[empereurs]

[...] From your last exploration?

We know that Shadows are formed from negative emotions, and seek to devour the minds of humans. [...] To lock people up and keep them around for awhile, that feels [...] premeditated.

Leaders + Seconds

[weewilywilkie]

Yes.

And yes. That's true. I'm probably giving them a little too much foresight?
They don't seem the type to [...] save for later.
Not really.

Leaders + Seconds

[empereurs]

Did you [...] I'm sorry.

Maybe. Maybe not. We've been meeting more and more Shadows that display signs of intelligence. [...] I'm worried about the two students from Haling High.

Leaders + Seconds

[weewilywilkie]

They're priority.
Are we [...] keeping up on their status? They're still in the hospital?

Leaders + Seconds

[empereurs]

Yeah. It seems like it, from what I've been able to tell.

[...] It's happened before, people being found unconscious. Some of them woke up, but at least one of them stayed catatonic.

Leaders + Seconds

[weewilywilkie]

Well [...] this time we know where to look.

Leaders + Seconds

[empereurs]

Right. Whatever it takes, we'll fix this.
