[adsum]

Ritsuka arrives at the faculty office and the strict woman beckons her to her desk and gets right to business: she wants to know the names of everybody who stayed inside the school during spring break. She says she does not care who's idea it was initially, or what they were doing inside, or who's to blame or any of that; she just wants names.

Does Ritsuka provide?

[tempingforatlas]

Before she does, she's going to try and sift through her pre-awakening memories of Yogen. Does she have any idea what this faculty member even does, or what she's like? She hasn't even given her official position, so Ritsuka is suspicious.

[adsum]

She does not! None of the other students, pc or npc, will have ever seen her in the school either, but the woman walks into the school like she belongs here and she's familiar enough with the students to know them by face and name and the assistant principal clearly defers to her, so ???

[tempingforatlas]

In Ritsuka's experience, there's good shifty and bad shifty. It's a hard line to draw, but after hanging around people like Moriarty and Dantes vs. Kadoc and the rest of the Crypters, she's become an expert at finding it.

And this woman, whoever she is, is clearly bad shifty.

"...Ma'am, before I'm comfortable telling you that information, I need to know who you are. Being wary of strangers is good student conduct, after all."

[adsum]

The woman heaves the sort of sigh that suggests Ritsuka is testing her patience, of which she has little to none to begin with, and says that she is the superintendent of the school and is here on an emergency and temporary basis due to the principal being unavailable and the assistant principal knowing shit all of how to take over the principal's job. Not in those exact words.

Now, will she give names?

[tempingforatlas]

...another quick question.

Can she hear Nene crying in the vice principal's office from where she's standing?

[adsum]

Yep! They're there at the same time and the desks are near each other. Ritsuka will be able to hear parts of their conversation too if she wishes.

[tempingforatlas]

Nene is an extremely honest girl, and judging by the sound of her crying, she's probably spilling most, if not all of the beans, to the vice principal.

No point in hiding it, then.

"All of the transfer students, ma'am. We were stuck here over break and couldn't get out."

Ritsuka stares the superintendent in the eye, unflinching.

[adsum]

The superintendent stares back, also unflinching. She asks stuck how, and if she's supposed to believe that the front door is discriminatory against transfer students. Doors aren't any different from one place to another, Miss Ritsuka. Did she perhaps pull instead of push?

[tempingforatlas]

Pull, push, nothing. She knows that somebody tried to get open one of the windows and it still didn't work.

Whether or not she believes it isn't any of Ritsuka's business, because that won't change the truth.

[adsum]

The truth smells like a lie when all the superintendent has to go off of are words ///: She asks if Ritsuka cares to provide any more substantial proof, and if not, she is free to go.

[tempingforatlas]

Ritsuka looks like she's about to mention something (literally showing the doors), realizes that it'll be impossible to actually demonstrate convincingly, then declines and walks out.
