Over a cup of tea, Gordon told Linus what happened during the riot, highlighting the contributions of Samir, the chemists, and the older schoolboys in their escape. He also expressed his regret over the ruined school building. Although his expanded home can host the students for the meantime, he was remorseful of the loss of the teaching aids and other instructional materials in the facility.
Likewise, the chemists felt down about the incident after losing precious lab equipment and supplies. Lily, too, was in tears as if the world had just ended when reminded of the fateful night. After all, she had invested much time and effort in her research of new compounds only for all of those to evaporate in an instant. The atmosphere was heavy, and many felt intense hatred of Vincent and the rioters for turning the school into charred ruins.
