"And anyway, was that a map or what?" She hadn't gotten a good look, but if Scarecrow had consulted it, it was either a map or instructions. Mele didn't know which was more likely.

It was a good idea to exchange notes once in a while, probably. Maybe she'd do that in the day tomorrow; she'd been focusing so much on what everyone

Huh, so Mele hadn't seen her shadow either? The Scarecrow had to admit that while he was surprised, he was a little relieved to hear there were a number of people whose shadows hadn't acted strangely. He still thought it was odd Landel would only target certain people, but if that had been a part of his plan all along, then it made sense. After all, what if it had been his shadow to act up instead and he'd been with a stranger during the night?

Something else.

"Uh, so." Geniusly eloquent. Right. "Hey, did you see anything weird last night? Like a creepy shadow of a companion, maybe?" Right to the point, but whatever, it was there. She had been thinking about the stuff with Nigredo last night a lot over the day, and if it was an institute-wide thing, she could at least understand it a bit more.
