FOURTH INVESTIGATION

INVESTIGATION

Good morning!

...Except it really isn't a good morning for the students at Ira Academy, after all. The deadline prescribed in this week's motive came just as quickly as the one's before it. It might be difficult to repel the sinking sense of dread that bleeds into Friday's early hours. That secret written on a slip of paper might even feel heavier for some. Perhaps it's Father's hate-filled words instead: I’m getting a little antsy about your performance. Do something to spice things up, won’t you? By now, is a grisly discovery every Friday morning a guarantee?

Though you're surely awake at the same time as usual--if you slept at all--there's a certain gloomier, late-year feeling to the artificial light keeping the Academy illuminated and providing the illusion of a complete world outside. There are no real seasons to speak of in this part of Closetland; one step into the playground proves that easily enough. And yet, as you emerge from your rooms, free to go wherever you wish today, it's hard to deny it. You've been enrolled here for quite a while, and time has passed.

Will autumn come and go before you get out of here?

[Right.

...Well, he should...probably open the door then to check in before he heads out. Peek his head in. Don't throw something at her if she's obviously asleep.]

[There's the sound of running water in the bathroom. It shuts off just as she steps out, jumping back in shock when she sees the door open.]

Sonic! You scared me!

[canreallymove]

AH! Sorry-I just want to make sure everyone's ok and I know you can't hear me knock and stuff-

[temmapathy]

[She looks a bit more understanding at that.] It's okay, I get what you mean. I was about to leave myself anyways.
