[Warded to Diego and Mina]

I don't care what plans you have, we're having dinner tonight. Together. [...] Ravi can come if you want.

[Warded to Sophomores]

[...]

Do you think if we asked 2 why they got lost 2 would tell us?

[...]

Do you think 2 did it?

Or 2's brother?

[...]

Does anyone else think the Grotto is kind of scary??

[Added after a considerable amount of discussion]

If you're just reading this now, then you should know:

We're going into the woods again. To ~~ask~~ tell 2 to stop. Or 2's brother. Or whoever is doing this. Possibly on the New Moon.

We're going to be prepared this time. Bash and Solo, we need your notes. Or anyone else's. We need to pull together everything we know. We need to see if we can figure out why this is happening or figure out what questions we need to ask. The adults are trying, but they can't get to the Grotto and 2 and 2's brother are both really good at hiding from them. If we can't get them to stop, we can at least try to get useful information that we can share with the adults. Maybe. Possibly Mr. Merrill.

If you have ideas about how we can make sure no one gets lost, talk to Zach. The forest hasn't taken anyone from our class yet, so that's a good sign.

If you don't want to help, that's fine. This is really scary.

[Warded to Jade]

Thank you. For last night.

[Warded to Pippa]

I'm okay. Diego's okay. Jade walked with me over to Ebonhide so I could wait with Mina. I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I hope you weren't too worried.

[...] That's a really good point. See? There's so many questions to ask.

This would be a lot easier to leave to the adults if 2 would TALK to adults or let them go to the GROTTO or something.

I don't want more people to disappear into the forest.

~~What if next time they NEVER get to leave~~

Yeah.

[...] Do you think we should talk to the adults? Do we even know anything worth telling them?

Me neither. I just want this to stop.

Is there anything we know that they don't already??

Maybe we could talk to Mr. Merrill?? I never feel like I'm bothering him when I'm telling him or asking him something for like the SEVENTIETH time

We don't really know what they know, do we? Like you said, 2 won't talk to them or let them into the Grotto.

Mr. Merrill would be a good choice. He's really nice and probably knows a lot of stuff about this area.

Maybe 2 can't let them into the Grotto??

We should figure out what we know and what we NEED to know before we decide for absolute sure to talk to Mr. Merrill OR 2.

But also [...] how do we know more people aren't going to disappear into the forest??

That's a good idea. If we do talk to 2, this is probably our last chance, so we should be prepared. It probably won't want to talk to us again if we ask it to stop. ~~HOPEFULLY because it stopped~~

[...] We don't. If nothing changes, they probably will.

None of the answers we get are ever useful, though. Would it really help knowing why it's doing this?

I don't even know if talking to it or not matters. My brother never bothered the forest.

[...]

I don't know.

Maybe we could ask it to stop.

Or if we knew why, the adults could make it stop.

Do you really think it'd listen? ~~Maybe if it did, I could st~~

Doesn't 2 always apologize a lot when people say 2 scared them? Like 2 doesn't realize it's bad things to do?

[...]

It could be worth trying.

I almost feel as though it'd be negligent not to. If someone else is taken, and we did nothing... I don't know.

Maybe we HAVE TO try???? The teachers have been trying to stop it, but it seems like it's REALLY GOOD at staying away from adults??????

It listens to us. Doesn't it???

Sometimes. Essie's right, it does apologise when people say that it upset them, but it doesn't stop either.

But no one has ever asked it to, have they?

[...] Still. You're right. We do have to try.
