"I realize," Jono said as he stepped into the classroom, "that last week's lesson was a touch... heavy, for at least a few of you."

He wasn't going to name names, or even single anybody in the room out by looking at them. They knew who they were, and that was enough.

[apocalipped]

With mini-OCD coming!

Mingle!

[apocalipped]

Yeul had a glass of punch that she sipped on as she looked around for someone to talk to.

Mercy smiled at her. "How are you doing?"

Talk to the TAs!

[apocalipped]

If they're here!

Sure, Surreal was here. If she hadn't been sent to detention for spiking the punch.

...look, this party was terrible.
