Lillia hadn’t been able to find much to the point that at least Oka and I felt bad and joined her scanning the room. KJ followed us around, getting her dumb camera in our faces.

“We’ve been here for days, weeks even.” KJ narrated. “With little hope of survival.”

Lillia checked the time on her wristband. “It’s been thirty-two minutes.”

“With under two hours left to complete the task, the students of Rising Shards faced two certainties: in this quest they’d either fail or die. Nothing in between.” KJ said.

“Oka, can you hit her with one of those little grass blades?” Kalei asked, still seated at the table.

“I’m…I’m afraid to.” Oka said.

“Alright,” Kalei said, hopping down from the table. She came over to us, picked KJ up and set her in a corner. “There. No go film this corner and find all the depressing things you can find about corners.”

“Uh oh,” Iris said.

“What uh oh?” Oka asked. “You didn’t actually give yourself Feral Flu and now we’re gonna be stuck in here with you?”

“That…would be really bad, Iris.” I said, not wanting to think about all of us getting Feral Flu and fighting each other and jumping around and stuff.

“No, it’s Shearing Infection,” Iris said. “It’s just.” She winced. “I really gotta pee.”

“Oh…I don’t know if that’s much better but…that’s also very not good.” Oka said.

“It’s also super private and I don’t want to hear about it!” I said.

“But what if this is the challenge?” Ko suggested.

“What, like we all have to solve this crisis Iris put herself in?” I asked.

“They said it’d be simple, so I doubt they’d plan for Iris getting Shearing Infection and drinking a few gallons of water.” Oka said. “Would they?”

“Either way, we should probably deal with this lest we encounter a situation none of us want to deal with.” Amara said, gesturing to a more frantically shuffling Iris.

“I got a spell that could do the trick.” Roux said. “It could also make it so she could never go again, so maybe not? I haven’t practiced it yet.”

“Give her a cup of this.” Latte said, pouring some coffee into a like secret bonus mini cup that popped out of the bottom of her thermos with a satisfying sproingy sound.

“No, more liquid wouldn’t help.” Oka said. She held out her empty paper coffee cup that she was carrying around for some reason. “But could you top me off, maybe?”

“Mmm.” Latte said, swirling her thermos around. “No.”

“Aww.”

“We have to come up with something.” Iris said, her shuffling growing steadily more frantic. “I’m dyin’ here.”

“Maybe if you didn’t give yourself Feral Flu every twenty minutes at the slightest inconvenience you wouldn’t be in this mess!” Oka said.

“This totally wasn’t like that!” Iris said. “It wasn’t even Feral Flu!”

“Then maybe you should’ve just…” I said. “…gone…beforehand?”

“Shut up, don’t remind me!” Iris said.

“I don’t want to remind you! I don’t even want to think about such…behaviors.” I said.

“Oh my god Zates, just say pee, it won’t kill you.” Kalei said.

Iris started doing like half jumping jacks. “Nobody else talk about this, I have to distract myself.”

“Here, get some pet food, do a quick pet food challenge, then your body will focus on the food in you instead of the liquid, eh?” Kalei suggested.

“Nobody’s gonna do your dumb challenge while we’re in here!” Maia said.

“You mean I carried all this in here for nothing?” Kalei said.

“Yes!” Maia said.

Iris got out a crumpled sheet of paper and a pencil and started writing.

“What are you doing now?” I asked.

“I’ll write them a note,” Iris said.

“But Dr. Diast has back pain!” I said. “Don’t bug her with this while she has back pain!”

“There are a bunch of other teachers there, too!” Iris said. “That way they can just let me out to pee quick and then I won’t ruin this whole thing. But they better be quick.”

“And you’re going to hand this note…where?” Oka asked.

“I’ll show it to the cameras.” Iris said.

“I don’t know how to break it to you, but KJ’s camera doesn’t have a feed going back home.” Amara said.

“Not that camera.” Iris said.

I looked to Maia for any shred of clarification from her since she knew Iris better than any of us, but she just shook her head. Oka and I peered over Iris’ shoulder to read her note.

“Hiiiiii you are loved and I love you
