### Rest

In the library, Justin and Suzy-Sue talk crap about each other, still disliking each other over their shared kiss. Justin eventually leaves to find the Main Character while Suzy-Sue ease drops on Belinda and Lilliana, who are wanting to research more about Bethany Rouge's disappearance. Suzy-Sue suggests they talk to the new Librarian, Soren Bacon. Elsewhere, Blythe is surprised that Lucas agreed to hire Soren. Soren understands his worth, but it's unclear to Blythe of his importance. Soren asks about a student he sees in the library, Callisto, and makes a comment that it's odd that she attends here. Soren approaches Callisto and Enki, and eventually scares Callisto off. When Soren tells Enki that Callisto will probably avoid the library now that he works here, Enki is overcome with joy. After Enki is asked to start to work, Lilliana and Belinda arrive and talk to Soren. He redirects them to the Astronomy Professor Fatima Cioran, who was one of the last people to see Bethany. Soren says he will search for some newspapers about her disappearance in the meantime.

Vice-Headmistress Blythe Dewey is preparing for her meeting with someone to replace her as the Faemancer Professor. Professor Silvia Cicero challenges Blythe's allegiance, as Silvia believes they're the only two teachers with any sort of intelligence. Once Silvia leaves, Professor Erica Bertha congratulates Blythe. However, Erica doesn't stay as she is really there for Professor Penelope Licardo, who also wanted to say congratulations. Erica follows Penelope out of the office, where Erica asks Penelope to leave Blythe alone all day to make sure that Blythe hires someone that Lucas will approve. Penelope, disliking Erica, simply walks away.

Back at the library, Justin, Parker and the Best Friend (Riley or Victoria) find the Main Character sleeping on a couch. Justin wants to draw on their face, and the Best Friend shoos Justin and Parker away. The Best Friend takes the MC to a new study location, where the Sibling also is (Victoria or Riley). Understanding the MC having a lot of stress on their shoulders, the Sibling offers that the MC join them in a study session later - which the MC accepts just before they have to head to Astronomy Class. The MC finds Ivanna Aquinas lost. The MC has the option to talk to her or not, if the MC does, they learn more about Ivanna's choice to want to work at this school.

Blythe interviews Ivanna and it goes well. However, Blythe is suspicious of Ivanna because of her very clean background. Lucas shows up, wanting to check in just as Ivanna is leaving. Lucas follows Ivanna out and summons a Dark Magic creature to follow Ivanna and learn more about her.

Fatima is invited to lunch with Professor Jamie Quine but when it's hinted at a crush at Jamie's brother Julian, Jamie walks away leaving Fatima hanging. Belinda and Lilliana arrive just after Jamie leaves, and try to ask her about Bethany. However, Fatima is dodgy with the subject, and they decide to catch up later as Belinda has class. Belinda and the Main Character quiz their knowledge about Astronomy for some relationship points.

Jamie tries to invite Blythe to lunch, but she declines. Blythe enters her room where Silvia demands that Blythe hire Ivanna, because Ivanna is not one of Lucas's pawns. Silvia gives Blythe Ivanna's full background, which she acquired through "light" hacking. Blythe agrees but the duo decide to keep it to themselves for now. Then Blythe boldly asks for Silvia to do a background on all the other professors. This startles Silvia, which Blythe asks that she start with Professor Kari - whom she suspects is working with Lucas Aristotle. When Silvia leaves, Blythe calls to give Ivanna the good news. Mariposa bumps into Silvia, who scolds Mariposa for wanting to talk to a teacher on their lunch break. Mariposa brushes off Silvia's comments and asks Blythe if she can approve a 'buy-a-date' fund raiser to restore some of the school's forests, Blythe agrees.

Mariposa gives the good news to Charlton and Oriel, before going to dinner with them. The scene shifts to Robin and Justin who are watching Laxmi and Luthor chat. Robin wants to make their former lover feel pain (who it is, depends on if the reader is an Umbramancer or not) through Dark Magic. Justin assures Robin to not do it, at least not now, and the two leave. The MC finally gets to study with Victoria and Riley but, Suzy-Sue tries to steal the MC away. They decline and Suzy-Sue is determined to find trouble herself.

The MC and Fulvio/Frida rush to the hospital where the Sibling doesn't have much more information other than she/he found the Best Friend in a pile of blood at their own bedroom door. Fulvio/Frida leaves to get them food, and the MC worries about the worst. Then, Briscoe arrives and blames the MC for somehow being involved with the Best Friend's attack. The Sibling snaps at Briscoe, but is then given an information update by Professor Ardent. Briscoe argues with the MC more, to which the MC can respond if the reader chooses. The Sibling returns with an update: it seems that the Best Friend was in a fight, and they have blood from under the fingernails. The Best Friend still has brain swelling, and is therefore in a coma right now. Briscoe wants to visit them, but the Sibling interjects and asks that the Main Character goes first.

The MC goes to talk to Isadora, who is in front of the Dark Magic section. She claims that she checked out the book because she's doing a project that is extra credit.
