Nice to see you again.

"I can't stop thinking

mary: "that was just

The message indicates this

- Wait, is... This between
a student and a teacher?

Who's mary?

- Mary sinclair. She
teaches social studies.

- Jules' teacher? From the game?
- She's highly respected.

And a close friend. She would
never do anything like this.

(breathing deeply):
Protocol dictates

that I should report this to
the ellard board immediately,

but I can't do that to mary.
An allegation like this --

even a false one --
can ruin a teacher's career.

- And destroy
a school's reputation.

- I need you to prove

that this is a prank, in
poor taste, before it turns

into a scandal. But you'll need
to act quickly, and quietly.

And don't worry, my partner

Nobody takes them seriously.

What am I supposed to say to

You got to admit,

Thanks for inviting me
onto the team.

- Uh, you're not on the--

thrilled to have
you here, buddy.

- Did you bring the letter?
- Yes.

- The ellard eight left this in
my locker last term. I followed

all of the instructions on it,
but I... I couldn't find it,

so I wasn't let into the group.

Tunnel through

They're this way.

- Fantastic.

- So, how's school?
You like it here?

- Yeah. Yeah.
It was easier

But it's not like I think

Did you... Practice?

- If a crazy hobo serial
killer comes after us,

I'll let him
kill me first, ok?

- That's nice of you.
- Last time I said the "s" word

in front of dad, he pretended
to hear rats in the attic

and spent two hours fake-
searching for them to
avoid the conversation.

- I bet jules isn't afraid.
You know she isn't afraid

of anything. She says
that comes from you.

- Really?
- Yeah. Whenever she's scared,

she just thinks about what you
would do, and it calms her down.

- It's not easy being
a teenager. I remember.

You want everything
right away and it's all...

It's all right there, in front
of you, so there's no reason

why you shouldn't
have it, but...

You don't have to rush.

Trust me.

Life'll still be there waiting

- Now I see why everyone
was so stoked for your class.

- Me, I babble.
Like now.

I was wondering. What's a

free to communicate with
pelican, even if we don't

Not unlike the ellard eight.
A secret student society

After a few

behind this?

like that. We're getting
a divorce, she just...

Doesn't want to hurt

after the protest. That's the

But, I love that school, and I
