[ He was just at this dorm earlier, so Claude seems comfortable as he follows Byleth to the table, taking a seat on...
... The bean bag. ]
Thanks.
[ He does like a nice cup of tea. ]
You all right, teach?

Fine.

[she nods again.]
A lot has happened.
...And we're still running blind.
[that's the biggest problem. their "enemy" is completely formless. everything that presents themselves before them takes a friendly, helpful shape, and seems to care for them. so, what gives?

[ Claude slumps in the bean bag.

Anyway. ]
It's almost pathetic that we could lead armies in Fódlan, and here we can so much as save two kids.

at least she's serious again by the time he continues talking.]
I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of frustration.
Combined, we should all have the skill to combat this. But...

It seems we need to be smarter, not stronger. Which isn't something I'd normally object to...

[sweetie you're so cool and your beard is absolutely very hip]
We need to re-evaluate how we use intelligence and strength here.
[because it's just not as easy as bashing two forces against each other.]

Information. Vouchers.
[she stares into her own mug of chamomile, watching the liquid in the cup.]
We need more of both.
Nothing can be brute forced at the moment.
[so... they need more information so it can be.]

Vouchers doesn't seem like too much of a challenge, but information...
The dorm heads continually claim to be oblivious. I asked Chad about the principal to no avail.
[ he's so desperate for info he'll talk to the bear he doesn't care ]

Crow mentioned something.
That Kaoruko, and perhaps the dorm leaders, might be threatened into silence.
What do you think?

It certainly would explain a lot. But what did Kaoruko have to lose?
Unless I'm missing something about what's happened to her.

If they can freely transport and freeze time for everyone here...
...Can't they influence people who aren't here, too?
[so... it could be a matter of simply holding hostages]

With the power at their disposal, there's nothing impossible.
[so
what is the solution?]
I think we have to play the game—to some degree.

I agree.
[ He looks fairly pained to admit it. ]
I said to someone just two days ago that we would stop any other murders from happening, but I suspect we're going to see more deaths in the future.

[and because it's claude, and only because it's claude, byleth nods.]
I think we'll see death weekly.
At a minimum.

[ He just closes his eyes. ]
I don't think you're wrong. Which means we need to figure out why it's happening, and quickly.

And if people can't speak about why they're doing things, then we have to find another way.

Do you have an extra credit assignment, Claude?

I wonder if that has any connection to the Dean's List we saw this week.
Completing those.

...Maybe you're rewarded with extra vouchers.

I might be able to ask someone if that's true.
