His mom's arriving tomorrow! And yeah it was pretty traumatizing, he was very confused and his head was very fuzzy at the time.

… Did he get that checked out too? Because they seem very concerned for his health – you know, what with him having died.

He did! He's fine now, only really traumatized and feeling weird and stuff, but like, nothing suggesting anything other than the obvious "he died and then didn't" explanation.

So what's he been doing these past few days? Or was he dead for all of them, oh my god.

No no he woke up like the same evening he died. He's been—coping. Mostly.

Huh.

Well okay then. They're not really sure what to ask and a couple of them might text him later on.

He'll probably appreciate it.

Class continues.

This repeats a bit in other classes, but less so. Perhaps because people are texting each other about it or something.

Sadde will explain it again to whoever's interested.

At lunch, where can Sadde be found?

Because Evelyn is totally going to find him and smile politely. Curiously.

At a table with Willow and no one else!

"Hi there!" she says, taking a seat. "How've you been?"

He raises an eyebrow and purses his lips amusedly. "Not great. You?"

"Little bit in the state of 'how the hell does a fellow student drop dead at school', yeah, but– apparently he didn't."

"The 'how' was somewhat secondary in my thoughts."

"Yeah," she agrees. "Anyway! How's he been? Hopefully suffering no ill effects though, y'know, dropping dead kinda probably has ill effects." Pause. "Or rather dropping 'dead' of some venom and then waking up in a morgue."

"He's mostly okay, having some trouble adjusting, and we don't really know whether it was venom or what."

Nod. "If he needs my help for anything, or, like, wants to be surrounded by people sometime, a party or something, lemme know?"

"I will. He'll appreciate the offer."

She gets up. "See you around, then."

"Seeya."

A few people ask him about things in the afternoon, but not many.

Seems word got around, and people seem pretty tired what with it being the last day of term.

Yep. He's tired, too, if not for the exact same reason.

And then it's the end of the school day.

Theo: is not present! He's probably busy practicing pickpocketing or not being looked at for being not-dead or something.

So Sadde makes his way to Theo's place.
