[August 3 stars off. . . weird.]

[The morning bell chimes at 6 a.m., as it usually does! But there appears to be a very thin layer of fog settled against the ground outside. Some of it seeps into the school's hallways, before dissipating in a few wisps of haze. Weird??]

[As the day goes on, you feel like you can hear strange whispers echoing in the air-- a voice, hissing the word miiiiiiiine over and over again. Also weird!]

[And by the time the afternoon hits, you may find yourself running into some very unwanted guests. You've been here two weeks, and this is the first time you're seeing these guys?? Where have they been??]

[By the way, the nurse's office is unlocked!]

Comments

[isdf]

That does seem to be the case. But is that what they're called . . . ?

[tailsofwoe]

Are they called what? Anzen?

[isdf]

Patron spirits. I am unfamiliar with the term.

[tailsofwoe]

It's not an official one. Just my own theory, really.

[isdf]

You seem to have a few of those. Can I hear them?

[tailsofwoe]

Hm. Certainly, I don't mind. I have it on some authority that each of the class's namesakes was a "transfer student" brought here before us. I believe they all died, continue to haunt this school as spirits, and have graciously decided to bestow their protection upon us—though, likely as an unintended side effect, they have simultaneously passed on the afflictions they were burdened with in life.

[isdf]

[He listens raptly, because this is highly significant information she's providing him.]

On whose authority did you learn this?

[tailsofwoe]

The ghost of the school nurse. They spoke to me via writing on the wall.

[isdf]

On the wall . . . ? And they knew the author of each homeroom's journal?

[tailsofwoe]

It sounded like it. At the very least, they certainly knew Anzen.

[isdf]

As a transfer student . . .

[tailsofwoe]

Correct. And a frequent patron of their clinic.

[isdf]

So they, too, had a propensity to attract monsters.

Did the ghost share anything else?

[tailsofwoe]

"Names are important. Remember them. Always."

[isdf]

Remember . . . ? Are we at risk of forgetting?

[tailsofwoe]

Difficult to say. They didn't provide further context on that point.
