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.
"Hopefully the school would put them in the handbook, but we can also make copies and pass them down... And - I know who'll be succeeding me in Shanghai. If we can get the runs under control enough, we might be able to bring her along to observe directly."
"Would the school cooperate with that? The obstacle course is supposed to be for seniors only."
Xunyu's got plans to rework and people to talk to, then. And maybe if she's very lucky a nap to take.
"Feels like different goals, also... Xunyu feels more like she's looking out for everyone, and not just for Shanghai."
"And if she's not being an asshole about it, I'm not sure we can really criticize her for helping her family out."
Should they go see if Bea has an answer about London's (and possibly other enclaves') participation, now?
