The disturbing reports from the Faculty of Dark InfoArts gradually spread throughout the institute, as well as neighboring ones, but despite that, the following months were spent as usual; attending practicals, getting to know new elves, and being flurried by potential contestants as the period for the Award Night drew closer.
For Launa, the months passed quite differently; twice or thrice a week, she would be cornered by Rhoze, who would drop frightening updates about the emergence of the ribbons of suicide. It would rock Launa's mind so well that she would tell it to Celestum or discuss it with Jarrol over the ribbophone. None, giving her a satisfactory solace.

While they basked in desultory talks, they heard a yell from outside, "oblivia!"
They exchanged glances.
