The nicest thing about graduation, Bea thinks, is that in the brief window after breakfast and before the flames burn through, most of the mals are migrating down to the graduation hall. So it's possible to let one's guard down slightly more than usual and not feel too bad about it. And if you go two to a room instead of separately to wait for the cleansing to finish... it's not like curfew's being enforced.

...Yeah.
She's okay killing mals. But... She doesn't like how much she enjoys it, sometimes. (How hungry she sometimes feels.)

Some time later -
Field day goes as unpleasantly as usual (Liesel is not exactly athletic), but it at least heralds the end of remedial work (which she doesn't have) and, importantly to her, the end of waiting for final class rankings. Those are posted in the cafeteria at breakfast shortly after field day; she and Bea will want to get down there early.
