[He has never met Dimitri, but he remembers him vaguely from the profiles.]

Have you tried texting him?

[shaft]

Yeah, no luck. [ He just, takes a minute to crouch down, putting his head in his hands. ] It makes no sense.

[duranduel]

H-Hey, it's gonna be okay...I think...

[PESSIMISTS SHOULDN'T GIVE WORDS OF RELIEF THIS IS BAD]

Maybe he's just upset and is...hiding somewhere.

[shaft]

[ He laughs. You're doing your best, Mandi. ]

Upset is one way of putting it. But what I meant more was... how did people end up outside? Without even realizing it?

I'm worried something either tampered with their memories, or controlled them. Or both.

[duranduel]

[A chill runs down his spine.]

You think...something used them? That's why they ended up outside?

[shaft]

I honestly have no idea. [ Sorry he's a downer. ] Sieghart certainly seems to have no clue what happened to him, and with Dimitri missing...

[ He sighs. ]

Perhaps I'm overreacting. He could've just hit his head.

[duranduel]

Hit his head and stayed outside?

[Hm.]

So...what, he knocked himself out when everyone was going to their dorms? How? It was like we were being forced to...

[shaft]

[ Claude just groans. ]

There's no good way of looking at it, is there? Even without knowing what happened to Sieghart, we know that can influence us to some degree.

[ He stops there for a moment, glancing at Mandricardo. ]

By... the way, I should've asked. Are you alright?
