Darcy's finishing her interview with Dr. Whipple when you arrive at Carter Hall's small conference room. Her mouth sets in a line when she sees you, but she doesn't otherwise react.
"Thank you so much," she says to Dr. Whipple with a humility you didn't know she possessed. "I'm looking forward to working with you."
"I am as well, Ms. Bozeman." Dr. Whipple's a short, stout woman wearing high-waisted jeans and a blousy top, and she has dimples when she smiles. She looks more like a suburban soccer mom than a magic researcher.
The dimples disappear when she looks at you. "Mr. .. No need for us to talk."
Darcy leaves without acknowledging you. It's clear who trapped you in your room.
