She's dead. She said she was compelled pretty much immediately into becoming Sally when she arrived, and the red flags she should have noticed, like not needing to eat, sleep or drink went ignored because the compulsion was too strong.
... We're going against something fairly powerful, it seems. Mabel also bought the latest bit of information from her.
Well, I think she'd prefer a term like a ghost or something a little less... decomposing, but yes.
[ Why are like all of her favorite people dead ]
I'm not sure, though. Obviously we know who we are and what we need to return to, but I don't want to discount what happened to Catra a few weeks ago, either. It reminds me of that, still.
...the school spirit thing keeps hitting people. Like they want us to acclimate to being here, but it doesn't always stick. I don't understand how it works or why.
Sagihara was last week. Malik was this week. It'll be someone new next week. [...] All three of those people ended up outside on Thursday night. So whoever it happens to next will probably be outside, too.
Oh yeah? [he raises his eyebrows a little.] Guess that answers if the daycare's real or not. Not that I'm sure why, but...it's good to know. They're still able to be saved then, right?
I'd have to assume so. Mabel said someone she spoke to in Winter seems to be very certain that it's something they'll have to do on their own, though. We can't get to them.
... But they're still-- we didn't lose them entirely.
That's better than not having an option at all. If they keep working on that side, we'll have to keep working on ours. We don't have another option now.
[he looks like he wants to argue about that and object, but he doesn't. it's entirely possible he'd feel that way regardless because sometimes you want to constantly do things to outrun your own problems. like a normal, healthy person.]

...[hm...] I don't even remember if she actually ate her wrap when I had lunch with her a few weeks ago. [ahhhhh.]
I was afraid it'd come to something like this though. How bad do you think it is?

Right, about what Mabel purchased... it was a fax, about the expelled students trying to make it back to the campus from daycare.
