02.50 - week two, saturday
W2 SATURDAY
Like last Saturday, everyone will get an announcement on their tablets; this time, the announcement is preceded with a bell of some sort before Lorelei appears on the screen again.
"Good morning, everyone. This is an announcement to let you know that today's lesson will take place starting at 8:15 tonight. Again, today's lesson will be starting at 8:15. Please meet at the lower campus exit near the lecture by 8:00pm; Florence will be waiting for you there.
If you have a bag for some snacks and, perhaps, an item you can use for self-defense in the case of an emergency, please arrive with those things on you. We will provide you with an overview of what to expect when you arrive at 8pm.
Thank you."
The alert ends.
You have the day to prepare, ask each other what the hell is happening -- Florence and Lorelei do not seem to be available, strangely enough. There's a lot to take in with the information you have now. But before you know it... night falls.

Alright, if diminishing them isn't going to work, then perhaps showing interest will, he thinks. See if that gets a more favorable reaction that could lead to an exorcism. That is, if he's possessed. If he isn't, then this all is pretty awkward and he will owe an apology of some sort, that's for sure]
Does that mean this writing represents you? You'll have to explain it further, Mr. Sabo. Please do.

It's not simply about the writing; it's more than that. [ he runs two fingers on the deep scratches in the wall. ] It's about leaving behind something that others won't forget.
The museum has already done quite a bit of that, but I wanted to etch something deeper into the walls here so even if the items and photos disappear, there will still be something left.

[Hmmmmm...alright, aiming for middle ground between acknowledging and dismissing this, he decides:]
That's a noble endeavor, Mr. Sabo, but it's utterly futile. Leaving this in this abandoned building, where no living person other than ourselves will ever see it, is pointless. Would it be of any use if, on an abandoned island you had never seen before, someone writes on the sand secrets that would reveal great answers? No, that won't do. Something that goes unseen may as well not exist.
If you want to etch something that won't be forgotten, you should do it somewhere else. Somewhere others will see it, and remember you by. Do you understand?
[You'll need a place more frequented, is his point, but ultimately not what he'll be aiming for. There's something else he wants to aim for]
