In the end, Joshua won the Acrobatics contest. Normally, even losing didn't bother him very much. However, it was one thing to lose in a fair match, but it was another thing to lose because someone cheated. As a result, Leander had gotten a bit salty after it had ended. The judges did not deem it to be illegal, though, so there wasn't really much Leander could do against it. Leander sulked for much of the day afterwards, but at the end of the day, Leander had completely gotten over it. It wasn't like it was something of vital importance, so there was no need to agonize about it for very long.

Now, Leander was currently in the cafeteria, listening to Haas talk about the unfortunate events that had occurred recently. The mood dampened slightly when Joshua began speaking ill of Andre, though it wasn't unwarranted, but almost everyone agreed about forming groups. Nathaniel seemed to disagree, however, which made Leander frown in confusion.

Michelle had found herself in the pool area, and spent her time watching the swimming contest. Michelle couldn't see the appeal of it and was tuning much of it out, but Haas' sudden interruption brought her attention back. To top it off, Haas made an incredible comeback, which left Michelle speechless. It seemed next to impossible that such an event could have occurred, yet it did. 

The next day, though, with yesterday's excitement already dissipated, there were now troubling rumors about the unfortunate events that caused a badly wounded girl to end up in the infirmary. Michelle was at the cafeteria now with the others, feeling concerned not just about Ethel, but also about what Haas was saying about the Dark Dorm. If it was true, that the recent events were not merely coincidence, then things could be much worse than initially suspected. 

"[color=aba000]Well, w-we can still do something, can't we?[/color]" Michelle asked in response to Nathaniel. "[color=aba000]I don't think we should be, you know, irresponsible about it, but we can still learn something and use it to our advantage... right?[/color]"
