Unless the walk isn't truly random. 

It'd be a pretty weird path, anyway.

Fair enough.

Kiss!

Mmmm kisses.

Though speaking of dreaming... Dani should go to sleep soonish.

"Awwww..."

"Sorry lovely. But I'm only mortal."

...Hum.

"What's that for?"

"What's what for?"

"That hum."

"Just a thought that came to me."

"Sure."

Smirk.

"Keep your secrets, then."

"You're not going to try and dig them up?"

"If I was, I'm not going to tell you before I do."

"I'll stay on guard, then."

"You do that." Kiss.

Kiss!

"I'll let you sleep now though, caterpillar."

"G'night, siren."

And she's off to bed.

She watches Dani sleep briefly, before heading to class.

School picks up after - as does the news (people are noticing the outbreak, finally, after another girl dies, and there's more speculation this time that it was murder) and therefore the amateur investigators pouring in to the forums.

(Dani's possibly still the only one who's picked up on Carmilla's last roommate being - odd, here. The woman survived after all, and there's no widespread talk about slow victims being a thing - at least one person has speculated about that, but... They haven't convinced many people yet.)

Carmilla dotes on Dani as her fatigue comes and goes, urges her away from her electronics and into the world - drags her hiking, takes her to night clubs, introduces her to assorted girls, finds a vintage film club that meets during the overlap after Carmilla wakes up and before Dani goes to sleep... Brings meals from the dining hall for her when she's too tired to leave the room after a day of classes, talks one of Dani's professor into being more forgiving about attendance issues, helps Dani study, tracks down notes for the scattering of classes Dani misses...

Dani's the only one who knows Carmilla maybe knows two possible victims - both Carmilla's roommates - and probably not many people are looking up her name anyways. So probably Dani's the first to find an image album thoroughly and scrupulously tagged with names and dates, but not linked on any of the investigative forums. 

The images are mostly pictures of people, a few scans of artwork or newspaper clippings. They're in chronological order.

The first set - a newspaper obituary dated 1848, announcing the tragic death (due to wasting illness) of Mircalla Karnstein, the youngest daughter of the town's recently founded university. A scan of a portrait, labeled 'Mircalla Karnstein age 17, 1830.' 

Her resemblance to Carmilla is uncanny, down to the stubborn strip of hair that's always trying to fall in her face no matter what she does, down to the gentle curl of her hair, the line where her cheek meets her jaw, the thin scar on the side of her neck...

There's even more photographs beyond that. It's a big album. From the thumbnails, they aren't all from the 1840s - and this popped up when Dani searched Carmilla's name.

Holy shit.

Like- actually holy shit what the fuck is going on. This... can't be real. Can it?

That portrait. If it's from the founders, it should be in the main hall. She can go check. See if it's real.
