The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

What… what were you even doing out there? I heard you talking to the rock but…

[Hester allows it, uncurling her hands to let Nana seen the extent of the damage. It's not especially bad, though her nails and fingertips look like they should hurt like hell. She doesn't seem bothered, at least not by pain.]

...I wanted answers. And I stupidly thought they might be under that stupid rock with those stupid roses that randomly showed up.
