Thomas had just entered his house and was taking off his shoes when the message came.

Why am I in a closet?

Thomas had a few flimsy reasons. He didn't exactly want to carry Finn somewhere else, considering Finn was quite a bit heavier than Thomas and Thomas wasn't exactly confident with his arm strength. In reality though, it was probably because had had wanted to be alone for a while. He'd done a lot of things today that he needed to think about. He found out information regarding a mysterious entity, potentially screwed up a friend's future and there was also the write up for the festival to consider. If Thomas was being honest, he just wanted to go back to sleep and wake up and let it all happen without him, but he couldn't exactly do that.

With that said, he did need to tell Finn what happened. Finn had been there with him and seen what happened, he needed to be given something. Part of him desperately wanted to offload the problem onto someone else but he knew he couldn't do that. But he could at least tell them a little of what transpired.

Laziness.

Maribel's fine now.

That wasn't the whole truth but he couldn't help it. He wasn't entirely sure what he could or couldn't tell people right now. He, Alex and the blue king were privy to rather sensitive information that could potentially jeopardize Maribel's situation even more. The more people who knew the more that could help - people like Hibiki could be very helpful. But the more that knew, the higher the risk. He'd have to play this carefully.

With that being said, he had other stuff to do. The aforementioned festival write up was a particularly large obstacle, as was Maribel's request. The report could be taken care of later; the whole club would need to come and crunch the data tomorrow. As for Maribel's request... Finn was back in the real world, so assuming he'd been in the conflict at all, it was safe to assume that they'd either won a swift victory or he'd died suddenly. Considering the fact that the blue king had been out of commission since before the fighting started, it was likely the latter, which meant that the defense had likely gone badly. Thomas couldn't really check; his avatar had been quite a while away from blue guild territory. He could just ask Finn tomorrow. Or Maribel could ask Finn tomorrow. And speaking of tomorrow, Thomas would have to plan.

Thomas tried to remember what the being had told him and Alex. He remembered that the being had mentioned the student council president, but he'd also remembered another name - Retsu Goroshi. He remembered the red haired girl that had run through the hallway with the president in her arms. That was probably her, it would've been strange for the being to mention her otherwise. Thomas did want to talk to the president about what happened, but considering the nature of what had occurred, maybe it would be better if he didn't. But he should at least let her know that something was out to kill them, and he'd have to talk to someone, so he decided to send a message to Retsu. Maybe she could pass it on.

I have happened on information that indicates a threat to the student council president's life, and since I've been led to believe that you have some link to the president, I would like to request some time to discuss today's events with you.

That may have been a bit too formal, but he didn't know her so he wanted to at least be respectful. Whether she accepted his proposal or not, the reply would come tomorrow. He had a lot of work ahead of him.
