I just realized I am an idiot who read the time wrong. its 9 in the evening not 9 in the morning. I don't know how I did that when the intro specifically mentions it being after hours and dusk approaching. probably by reading said intro late at night and only rereading the bits below that seance setting the next day, having decided on what I was going to do based on that incorrect reading. my apologies for that, I have corrected my post.
