Not a lot, but... after snapping out of one of her regressing episodes, Iris started talking like she was afraid she was going to hurt us. Insisted we should do whatever's necessary to take her down, if it came to that.
We got a message from her this morning. Just... a goodbye.
I was hoping you'd say that. [and yet he sounds resigned more than anything.]
I can't even start to think about what we're going to have to do this week. If the dorm heads are separated from Hugo, Luke, Annie and Iris what do we even do with them next?
[rita has been assimilated into anime protag culture. it's fine.]
Wish I knew for sure. We can try taking them down without killing them, maybe beat some sense into them... but that won't necessarily prevent the story from taking hold of them again.
[she's thinking... and she gives an irritated scoff.]
... Really hope those field trip clues aren't the answer.
Could be both. That's the problem. We're gonna have to be careful if we're not sure yet. But...it's weird. I'm afraid of taking it so literal when the whole place is so focused on fighting in the first place.
..."most of us" isn't the most reassuring thing in the world, Rita, but I get your point. I'm pretty sick of it myself. It'd be nice not to have to fight so hard for once.
[but he knows that's pretty impossible, so it's a pipe dream.]

Thanks. [it's gonna go in his pocket for safe keeping.] We knew this was gonna happen, but it's still really shitty isn't it?

[which isn't promising.]
Riku wrote us a note and left us some stuff. They must've known and had time to prepare.
no subject
We found a note from Hugo, too. Left some pretty specific instructions on how to fight him. Says we should fight to kill.

What'd the rest of Spring have to say?
no subject
Some of them are prepared to do it if there's no other choice, but... only as a last resort.
no subject
...and you?

So... yeah.

Spring bought the last round of information, right? Did you see it?

"The pen is mightier than the sword"...
Wasn't sure if it's supposed to be a message about pacifism, or... you know, storywriting.

[but how to interpret that? she sighs.]
At any rate, I think most of us are pretty sick of killing, or seeing people getting killed.
