The whole table sits in silence once you finish talking. Anuja doesn't touch her food, while Addy is unnecessarily aggressive with theirs.
"Clearly, it was a super distasteful practical joke," Addy says, and Anuja looks up, hopeful.
"Right? It had to have been," she says.
"Yeah, obviously. Caleb has the same letterman jacket Rex did, and maybe he did himself up differently to look more like his silhouette in the fog," Addy says, but they're still torturing the waffle on their plate.
"I don't know about that," Diego chimes in. "Rex had kind of messy, curly hair. Caleb has those side swept dreadlocks. Plus, he's taller than Rex. It would hard to mistake one for the other."
"If he was far off in the distance, maybe you could mistake him for Rex. But you said he was close?" Kirill asks you.
"Yeah," you say, recalling just how much that closeness unnerved you. "He was pretty close. It was definitely a person too, not a mannequin or something."
"Then they grabbed some guy who looks like Rex and put him up to this," Addy says, then growls. "This is so completely messed up. I can't believe Ennis has seriously stooped so low as to try to trick you into thinking Rex's ghost is after you. That is beyond deranged."
"I'm not sold on that theory just yet," Diego says, and Kirill nods in agreement.
"Of course you're not," Addy groans. "This is serious, Diego, we can't ignore the actual problem in favor of playing paranormal detectives."
"I know it's serious, that's why it's important to examine it from all angles. There are a lot of unanswered questions," he says. "Like, Petzeiros, how did you feel when you saw Rex, or whoever it was? Did the temperature change? What do you think it was? What's your gut reaction?"
