[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

Um- is everything okay?

[laevateinns]

Just fine. [ he says, before thinking differently. ]

Here- stand right here. [ he moves over. ] Just- indulge me.

[beathollow]

... Okay.

( she will do as asked! she's a good mafuyu- )

[laevateinns]

[ thanks mafuyu!!

akechi guides her so that she's standing exactly where he was, then points at the doll. ]

Still nothing?

[beathollow]

( she tries very hard to look, but... )

I don't see anything, no.

[laevateinns]

[ well, at least she tried!

akechi sighs. ]

Ah. I'm seeing things, then. [ he sounds almost cheerful!! ] Why not.

[beathollow]

--Stress? Or... uh. Something else?

[laevateinns]

What's there to be stressed about?

[ is that... a joke?? ]

[beathollow]

Well, the weather is simply atrocious for one.

( ... oh! she's playing along.

granted, given how her hair is still a bit bedraggled from rain, hes forgiven for not realizing. )

[laevateinns]

[ he snorts. ]

And we can't have that.

[ he does eye her hair, a bit intrigued. ]

You've been outside?

[beathollow]

Ah- ... it's- complicated, from what I've managed to put together?

( she falters for a moment, tugging at a slightly frizzy lock- if mom could see her right now... )

Just before waking up in the classroom, I had been caught in a storm while on my way to a friend's house without an umbrella. But evidence points to us having been here for a while, which... makes me wonder on if they had a different way of doing everything they did to us, or if they actually went out of their way to soak my hair again before we woke up.

Either way I'm mad.

[laevateinns]

[ akechi is absolutely intrigued by that. she was just... walking? to a friend's house?

akechi himself has been fading from existence. ha.

...did this girl... also die? does she not realize it?

he puts a hand to his chin as he listens and thinks. ]

Here for a while, hmm... [ but then she says she's mad, and akechi- laughs? he even smiles?? (even if it's a little sinister) ]

That's something we have in common.

[beathollow]

( ... that should be concerning. and yet. she gets it a little. you do you, man, hope you menace a ghost. )

I think it would be hard not to be, even if fear is more prevalent.

[laevateinns]

[ so supportive... where has she been his whole life.

he snorts. ]

You'd be surprised how many people push their anger down. [ he tilts his head. shrugs. ] Or, maybe you wouldn't be.

[beathollow]

( deadpan: )

Anger is not a socially acceptable emotion to display in public.

[laevateinns]

[ he laughs. ]

No. No it isn’t.

[beathollow]

... You're someone who has a lot of anger in you.

( a statement, not a question. )

[laevateinns]

Am I? [ he asks with a short laugh. ] What makes you say that?
