Transcript[]
| Diane, shown in silhouette, sees Ellen and Grace, who are smiling. | |
| Diane | Well well well... Looks like we've got some new students... |
| Lucy | Diane, how the hell do you know they're new? Couple thousand people are stuck in this school. |
| Diane | Elementary, my dear Lucy. |
| Rhoda | Squee! |
| Diane | (voice-over of the panel below) Both are holding sheets of paper, one of which appears to be mostly imagery. I believe that to be a map of the school, which is supported by the brunette observing her surroundings while referring back to it. |
| The same image of Ellen and Grace as before, with circular windows for emphasis and to put captions on specific details: Grace's face is captioned "Misplaced Optimism", Ellen's face is captioned "Observing Surroundings while looking at papers", and the piece of paper that Ellen is holding is captioned "Map". | |
| Diane is shown wearing a Sherlock Holmes outfit and holding a pipe and Rhoda is shown wearing a suit and a tie. | |
| Diane | I suspect the other papers are their schedules. In addition, others are also eyeing them with interest, suggesting I am not the only one who considers them an anomaly. |
| Rhoda | Brilliant! |
| Lucy | One question, Nancy Drew: Why should we care? |
| (Diane pats Rhoda's head) Pet Pet | |
| Diane | Feh. At least Rhoda appreciates a good bit of deduction. |
| Diane sees Ellen and Grace with Nanase. | |
| Diane | Wait--What in... |
| Ellen | Meow! |
| (Ellen runs behind Nanase and swats her hair) Hair swat! | |
| Nanase | E-Ellen...?! |
| Diane | They know Nanase?! |
