[ As they start walking, Princess pokes her head out of the classroom to wave. ]
Please tell her that I said hi.
[ Hm.
As they walk, it will be hard to ignore that everyone in the hallway continues to just stare at them, their eyes unblinking. Students step out of classrooms to watch them pass by. The organ music is now louder, but also much more static-y.
A sign helpfully points to the auditorium. In front of it stands a blonde cheerleader, who for some reason looks like a bunch of bleachers fell on top of her. Weird. ]
[ I'm glad. Claire hands over the yearbook. If Rufus looks inside, he will see some amazing memories!
Taako doing a sick flip. Rufus stabbing his mom. Dorothy getting stabbed. Sumire getting axed in the face. Rufus trying to hang himself. Taako getting shot. Rufus tenderly helping Dorothy with her injury.
[ But they can enter the auditorium. It's... well, a high school auditorium. It seems like people are still arriving, and they're settling down at the seats, talking amongst themselves. There's a stage at the very front, but for the moment it's empty.
The students in the hallway start to file into the auditorium after them. Everyone is staring at Dorothy and Rufus. ]
But it's fine. The two of them can sit awkwardly as everyone stares at them. It seems like all of the guests need to arrive before the ceremony begins. ]
[ It's fine, Dorothy is just going to slump over a bit while they're waiting. She's conscious! She doesn't have to sit up straight if she doesn't want to!! ]

[ It's a quiet murmur and then Dorothy is on her ginger way down the hall with Rufus to the auditorium.
When they reach the cheerleader, she just shrugs wearily. ]
We're here to graduate.

[They, adults, are here to graduate from high school.]

[ Claire waves her pom poms, which are barely hanging on. ]
It'll be so sad to see you go! Would you like a yearbook?
[ She pulls out a book to show them! ]

[ Rufus is a grown man who can speak for himself and make his own decisions except when he steps in circles and lets his skin melt off. ]

Now onward to the auditorium.]
no subject
But onward. Claire is actually following behind them, smiling. ]
Are you not going to chat? Wooow, you would have never made my team with that attitude!
[ The students in the hallway are following them now. ]

Please don't come back, Man from Before. ]

Rufus takes a seat beside Dorothy. It'll be very obvious where they sat once they leave, because they're definitely leaving bloodstains behind.]
