[Schneider is elusive like she is, so Kainé doesn't bother checking the dorms first. She already knows that she probably isn't there.
Kainé is normally...content, giving others space when they take it. If they want to get away from her, then whatever. But something has its hooks in her now, an insidious voice blossoming in her mind that has nothing to do with Tyrann's smug, hedonistic blood lust. She's felt the vanishing, the disintegration, all for herself, at the mercy of Schneider's nightmares. It's a sensation she doesn't want to repeat.
It's too late for most stores to be open, which rules out most of the shops where she might otherwise be digging through the racks. The park should also be mostly closed, but that doesn't stop anyone who knows how to get in. Kainé's spent her share of nights here. It's less like the city and more like some quiet play-pretend place away from it...in the middle of it.
And...yeah, found her.]
Thank fuck, I won't have to go on some puzzle-solving dungeon crawl to get you to come back.[God, would she do that? Some people would notice Schneider's absence quickly, too - more than would notice hers, she's sure - but Kainé doesn't know when they'd start digging or if she'd be the first to go.]
