"You stay away from her," Kenny said, glaring at Angel. "Help! Someone help over here!"
Catherine heard his cries and came over to assist. "Sh*t, what happened to no fighting in front of the NPCs? Dude." Catherine shook her head, completely ignoring Angel. "Alright, let's get her into the principals office and wait for her to wake up."
"She requested I prove she was dead. I suppose I could have requested we go somewhere else." Angel sighed. He had messed up. Seeing that they were not going to let him alter their course, he set about calming the students and getting them to class. It was not easy, since he'd been the one doing the stabbing.

Kenny helped carry Roseanne all the way there. "What the hell happened?" Rakel asked in shock, seeing them carry in a bloody and unconscious Roseanne.
"She told Angel to prove she was dead," Kenny said. "So he stabbed her."
Rakel facepalmed. "That's pretty predictable." She sighed. "Aright, I guess there's not much to do for her but wait until she wakes up. Least Angel's solved our problem for us."
"Yeah, at least there's that," Kenny muttered.

"Anyone know what Adam does with his lunch hours? He should probably be told." Rakel sighed, getting up from her desk.
"He really doesn't need to be told," Kenny said. "She really doesn't want to see him around."
"Be that as it may, he was really concerned and I think he has a right to be told."
"He doesn't have a right to be concerned," Kenny snapped. His old anger at his brother returned, and he shook his head.
"Why do you say that?" Rakel frowned.
"He almost put her here himself," Kenny hissed, and turned away.
"You two knew her in life?" Rakel was shocked. No one who'd ever shown up here had ever known each other in life before. Brothers showing up was weird enough, but she supposed made sense. But Roseanne wasn't related to them.
"Yes," Kenny said, shortly. "Speaks volumes how much it sucked down there all three of us ended up here, huh?"
"You guys are the first people who already knew each other to show up. That's really weird. I knew a lot of people who I'd be expecting to be here, but I've never seen them. Yet you guys all end up here."
Kenny shrugged. "Maybe we're just lucky," he suggested, though he was clearly being sarcastic.
Rakel shrugged. "Maybe if God exists he thinks you all need to see each other for some reason. I dunno. I know I wouldn't exactly be happy if anyone who I knew showed up either. Bastards, all of 'em."
"Maybe," Kenny said, sighing.
"At any rate, I'm still gonna tell him." She left the room to go look for the other twin. Kenny was somewhat glad.

Adam had taken up residence in the field while eating, and had laid down for a nap after that. Rakel eventually found him. "Don't you get run over by the track team out here?"
"I dunno, I haven't yet," Adam answered. "But I don't think there's track this period. And anyway, don't they like... Have a track?"
"I dunno, maybe." Rakel laughed, sitting next to him. "Doesn't Angel give you sh*t out here, though? It's class time. I'm surprised you havent been stabbed."
"I guess there's something bigger going on," Adam answered, shrugging.
"Oh there is today, I just assumed you did this a lot." Rakel sat down next to him, sighing. "Roseanne demanded to Angels face that he prove she was dead. Do I even need to explain what happened after that?"
"Holy crap, seriously? I mean, at least she'll believe us now, but damn."
"Yup. Kenny and Cath took her back to the principals office so she's in there until she wakes up. Angels got his hands full dealing with hysterical NPCs."
"He did it in front of NPCs?" Adam asked, eyes wide.
"Yes, I passed the commotion on the way down. He did it right in the middle of the hallways by the cafeteria."
"Holy sh*t, that's crazy." Adam shook his head.

Meanwhile, Angel noticed he wasn't the only one calming people down. One of the NPCs, a small skinny boy with black hair, was helping him. He was convincing kids it had been a magic trick, and soon they'd see that girl wandering around the halls good as new. It was all just an illusion. The boy who'd done it wouldn't have stuck around if it was real.
Angel frowned. That was not normal behavior. Nevertheless, it was clever, and helpful. "Thank you," he told the boy as things started to settle down.
"You're welcome." The boy answered quietly. He seemed shy, not quiet meeting Angel's eyes.
"You handled that much better than anyone else," Angel complimented.
"Well it's not as though that doesn't happen where we can't see it every night and outside every concert." The boy shrugged. "I'm used to it." He turned to walk off.
"What?" Angel questioned. How did he know about that? He didn't answer, just kept walking. He had a social studies class next. "Hey, what's your name?" Angel asked.
He looked back. "Josh. How about you?"
"Nikolai," Angel answered, smiling.
Josh smiled. "Well, it's nice to meet you Nikolai. I'll see you in class."
Angel nodded. "Yeah, see you."

Rakel laughed and changed the subject. "So you knew Roseanne when you were alive, then?"
"Yeah, I did. Did Kenny tell you?" Adam asked, looking rather sad.
"Yes. Your brother sees pretty bitter."
"Yeah, I don't blame him. I was an asshole," Adam said.
"He didn't want me to tell you what happened to Roseanne."
"Really? I guess that makes sense... I'd just hoped that with me dying and all, he'd get over it a bit." Adam laid back again.
"Maybe you should talk to him."
"I guess," Adam said, though it sounded like he had no intention to do so.
"Or don't. Be bitter at each other forever. No sweat off my back." Rakel shrugged, not wanting to be a counselor for someones family bullsh*t.
"I'm not bitter," Adam snapped.
"Then why're you avoiding the problem?" Rakel sighed. "Whatever. Like I said, no sweat off my back."
"You said they were in the principal's office?"
"Yup. That's where Kenny dropped off Roseanne anyway, dunno if he's still in there."
"Alright." Adam got up and headed that way. Rakel smiled and continued to lay there on her own, staring up at the sky. It was nice out here.

Kenny was still there when Adam came in, and Adam bit his lip. "I know what I did was wrong, and I'm sorry," he said. "I wasn't in my right mind..." His brother ignored him, and Adam sat down to wait for Roseanne to wake up.
