ONE LAST INVESTIGATION

[ She remembers high school graduation. She remembers summer. She remembers moving into her dorm in St. Paul, remembers meeting her roommate, remembers her first month, remembers—
"Peregrine: You can't change what happened."
...
"Where’s the other half?"
"I don't know. I was thinking maybe he took it with him. Maybe he wants you to find it."

She remembers planting two trees. She remembers the fourth annual turkey drop. She remembers her mother sharing the news, remembers already making plans, remembers the excitement and joy, remembers finally finally feeling like maybe she was ready, ready to live her life—


And it abruptly ends. When she wakes for the first Sunday in weeks with a strange, almost incredible calm. Clarity.

It gives way to a heavy weight on her chest almost immediately and she untangles herself from Janis's sleeping form. It's so very early in the morning, but she feels rested. Once making sure someone else is with Maya, she decides it's time to finish something she'd started two weeks ago.


So. You know photoquest? It's back on and ohhh she is taking pictures everywhere. The lobby, east hall, west hall, the grounds (besides the woods), the entirety of the second floor, the roof— Peregrine is going to photograph every room, until she's out of film. She'll develop those in the darkroom and take more if she needs to. Feel free to find her in any of these places, taking some meticulous photos!

One last chance. What do these photos old?

Peregrine spends much of the day taking care of Maya. She changes her bandages, checks on her stitches, does everything necessary. But...at some point, she needs a break. It's late in the evening when she retrieves...something from the library, something that she then sets up in the band room. For quite some time, she can be found attempting to play something that is far beyond her skill level.

But still. She tries. ]
