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.

...if you feel you've lost your stride,

[Will works one of his hands free, to lay it on Hester's head and stroke her hair.]

principles can be your guide.
Concentrate on what's inside
Stay clear...

I know. If this could be accomplished any other way, I'd do that. [If he could trade his own life, he'd have done it in an instant - but he can only trade other peoples'.] But in the end, they're gonna get what they want. They've been trying to make it so this never happened, too, just like we are.

But if they get what they want, it'll all have been for nothing. That's what happened last time - I failed, and that meant all that suffering was for nothing. I can't let that happen again. We need to fix this.

People may not understand
why you plan the things you plan.
Do not let them turn your hand.
Stay clear...
Stay clear.

[She leans her head into his hand, trying to internally steady herself but it feels...hollow somehow. Like there's a void inside her that didn't used to be there but is so slowly growing. Still, she very quietly starts to finish the verse.]

The time is soon to bloom or bleed;
Fall behind or take the lead.
Only...

...Only death is guaranteed.
Stay clear.
Stay clear.

When we fix them...they won't remember. They'll forget the game and each other and us. [No one deserves to be forgotten-] But Maya, she's offered to help so many times since she's been here. And she's so smart- they all are when you really get down to it but especially Maya, you've seen her at the trials- are you sure we can't ask-?

[There has to be something, something they haven't considered about to fix everything. Something that won't lead to more suffering for anyone, him included.]
