[sometime later after most of the hustle and bustle has died down...taichi will slink back into the dorm, heading for the specialty room. should he be making coffee? no. is he going to? absolutely. it means that he's in there working on autopilot and making a drink with enough sugar and sweet scents that you can practically smell it out the door.
it's probably a good thing his reflexes are good though because he exits the room to head elsewhere, startling upon seeing rita.]
Hey. [calmly.] What the hell do you think happened last night? Weren't we all locked in?

[rita's sitting on the arm of a couch and looking at her notebook, when she glances up.]
Hell if I know. I think I passed out pretty early in the night.
[rita's usually up at late-ass hours, anyway, so midnight's early for her.]
Something must have happened during that time.

With the fire alarm that went off? Yeah, that's my guess, too. [but he approaches slightly closer, leaning against the wall.]
...have you had a chance to check the doors? Maybe there's some kind of mechanism that makes them lock like that. Could get a better look now that they're open again.

Hmm... They lock automatically whenever we leave, and open either from the inside, or with a keycard... I guess it wouldn't be a stretch to think someone could just temporarily disable the unlocking mechanism.
[but she'll hop off the couch and wander over towards it to take a look, anyway.]

[he'll follow despite not knowing anything mechanically, hovering behind her but giving her space.]
Here's something else I thought about, too. We were locked in, but do we know if they could've opened from the outside? It's obvious people left somehow. So what happened after that?

[opening the door and checking out the lock on it, hmm hmm]
I'm sure someone could have. Either by stealing an ID card, or using some higher authorization...
... Then again, even that might not have been necessary. Seeing as we couldn't open the doors, we should consider the possibility that the very rules by which the doors lock and unlock changed at some point last night. They might've even changed again after we all passed out.

What, like they unlocked entirely after we knocked out? [...he hadn't thought of that, but also he hates that implication thanks.] If that's true, it would've been easy to get in and out of the dorms without anybody noticing.
Could be how someone got Sieghart and Dimitri out, too.

Or they were possessed. [why that's the first thing he thinks of, it's hard to say. but he doesn't look happy about it.] We could ask Sieghart but...I don't know if we'll get any better answers. And it's not like Dimitri even likes talking to people in the first place.
Especially if we're going with the idea that the doors could've unlocked after we fell asleep. Anybody could've gotten up and walked away before coming back and pretending they were here the whole time.
Did you look around this morning after the alarm went off?

I checked out the cafeteria. There was a girl with glasses and some other dork there. Nothing seemed too out of place, though. All we found was that somebody didn't clean up after sharing some tea last night. [a shrug. she still doesn't know if those cups are relevant.]
Yeah...if it was two people maybe they were having tea right before everybody felt like going back to the dorm? That would make the most sense, I guess. Especially if they weren't finished.
Maybe Byleth knows something.
[...byleth is the one person he knows that knows her tea, that's really his only line of thinking here.]
