Ch201 (p2), Midnight meeting
We start out with the orphanage staff cleaning up after the ceremony and the students going off to their lessons. Theo makes eye contact with Finny, and Finny recalls Theo's big question about where the "fledged" kids actually go.
Finny is doing something while thinking about the midnight meeting and about Doll, when Snake and Wordsworth stop him... to point out he's been pulling up the trees instead of removing and packing decorations. I'm honestly mostly concerned about the other staff who are witnessing this, as they are staring at him in the background.
It's not like Finny can cry to Sebastian and have Sebastian fix it all this time, but the issue of Finny's absurd strength just gets ignored after that scene.
So, now it's nearly midnight, and Finny checks on Snake and his snakes before leaving their shared room.
I'm wondering if Snake is actually asleep this time or faking it, since he absolutely cannot deny that Finny has been nervously distracted. He might decide to fake his slumber and then follow him. 🤷🏻♀️
Then Finny goes to the larder room to meet with the four top students. Artie is rather outspoken for someone being trained as a butler, but given what little we know of Polaris, this personality trait totally tracks.
Then Theo and the others lead Finny away from the larder room to show him something.
Next is what they want him to see....
