Harley clicked on her flashlight and checked back and forth as she usually did. All clear. Alright-e-o! She moved as quickly as she could down the hallway. No monsters and no other people yet. She knew that changed pretty quickly around here so best to get a move on.

Raine got to the main hallway and just waited; she really hoped Reinforce wouldn't take long to join her, and not just for the usual reasons. Why hadn't she seen Tamaki all day? Why hadn't he answered Kratos' note?

She would also feel a lot better if she knew why Sheena wouldn't be joining them tonight. She could accept that the reason was personal, but to not even have a hint as to what was going on... she trusted the ninja, but that wasn't the point.

Rein again found Raine already waiting for her in the hall, this time without her friend. Raine looked worried... had they planned to meet? She hadn't read the bulletin since lunch and couldn't know if they'd talked.

"Hello," Rein said as reached Raine. "Is something bothering you?"

It was a presumption she saw no harm in making, so she wasted no time.

Raine nodded; she was as glad to see Reinforce as she always was, but it wasn't surprising that her worry was that obvious. "I don't know what's going on, but this can't be good. I haven't heard from Tamaki, and Sheena seems to be missing."

She could technically go back and look in Sheena's room to see if she'd left yet, but if she wasn't there that that didn't tell her much at all.

"I don't know about Tamaki," Rein said with a shake of her head, "But there was a release of magical power similar to your friend's a short while ago." It was... hard for her to tell, since she could sense such things only faintly now, and what she'd sensed tonight had been active, and much stronger, than before, but there were certainly commonalities.

"Do you still want to go to the clinic?" She asked, unsure whether this was uncommon enough to warrant a shift in their plans. Perhaps she was deferring to the half-elf a little too much, but she had already decided that helping the clinic was a good path for her to take...

Raine nodded, lips tight. "I need to. If this is what I think it is, we'll need Kratos, and I don't know his room number."

She probably couldn't do anything for Tamaki, as much as the thought made her stomach hurt, but if Sheena was on Special Counseling then she and Kratos were the only people who had any hope of getting through to her.
