chuckles nervously Of course, Miss Finster. Wouldn't want any trouble.
grabs Kurisuch by the collar Good. Now, stay put and keep quiet. This lockdown isn't a joke, and neither am I. Understand?

nods Yes, Miss Finster. Let's get it done.

Got it, Miss Finster. grabs a flashlight
takes a flashlight from her bag We'll split up. You take the east wing, I'll take the west wing. Report back to me if you find anything suspicious.
nods Okay, Miss Finster. Let's move.

nods Got it, Miss Finster. Eyes wide open.
walks briskly down the hallway, checking each classroom No signs of disturbance here. Let's move on.
smirks Guess there's no thrill tonight, huh, Miss Finster?
raises an eyebrow Thrills aren't what I'm after, Kurisu. Safety is. If danger comes knocking, I'll be ready to deal with it.
winks You always were a spoilsport, Miss F. But hey, safety first, right?
stops abruptly and glares at Kurisuch Safety first, Kurisu. Always. Don't forget that. Now, keep moving.

As they continue their search, the power flickers and goes out, plunging the school into darkness.
Oh, damn, is that the power going out?

swallows hard Right, just a glitch. Let's keep searching, Miss F.
points her flashlight down the hallway Keep your eyes peeled, Kurisu. We can't afford to waste any time.
nods Got it, Miss Finster. Eyes peeled. Let's go.

whispers Stick to the plan, Miss F. Stick to the plan.
suddenly stops, her eyes narrowing Wait... I heard something. Kurisu, stay quiet.
lowers his voice What did you hear, Miss F?
holds up a hand, signaling Kurisu to stop Shh... Listen carefully. There's something... off... in the distance.
