[Sissel is helping put the chairs back into stacks with Bugsy and Talia as the rest of the Support group are talking near the front of the college.]
Bugsy: So… how was it?
Sissel: Me?
Bugsy: Yeah, obviously! It’s your first time, how was it?
Sissel: [thinking] It was… y’know, it was nice.
Talia: [quickly] Your time here was intoxicating.
[Sissel chuckles and punches Talia in the arm.]
Sissel: [chuckling] Shut up.
Bugsy: Gonna come for next week’s session?
[Sissel thinks for a moment, stacking the last chair into the pile.]
Sissel: [hesitant] Um… well… I can consider.
Goldberg: You really should. Maybe you’ll be sober next time.
[Sissel turns around to see Goldberg surveying the area.]
Sissel: Seriously, shut up!
Bugsy: [confused] We didn’t say anything…
Talia: Oh yeah, apparently he’s talking to Richard.
Bugsy: [confused] But he’s… oh. Oh! Oh my god! Wait!
[Talia chuckles.]
Talia: I’ll see ya next week Bugsy.
[Talia pats Sissel on the back.]
Talia: See you next week. I’ll bring drinks next time.
[Sissel smiles as Talia leaves, heading towards the group near the door.]
Bugsy: [surprised] Sorry, um… been a while, trying to register, you see a dead guy?
Sissel: A lot of them. Still kinda getting used to it, so…
Bugsy: [surprised] Right… oh my God- wait, is there a God?
Sissel: [worried] Are you okay?
Bugsy: [surprised] The amount of questions I have about, like, religion and stuff now-
Sissel: [worried] I think it helps not to think about it.
Bugsy: [surprised] Sure, works for you, you can see every… one…
[Bugsy sighs, looking at Sissel. Sissel looks behind at Goldberg then back at Bugsy, the two both visibly confused.]
Sissel: [worried] Now what?
Bugsy: [concerned] Have you seen… y’know-
Sissel: [quickly] I’ve seen Tracey, yes, let’s stop that conversation. I’ll see ya soon.

[Sissel turns and starts leaving with Goldberg. Bugsy hops after Sissel.]
Bugsy: [concerned] Wait, mate, if you can see her-
[Sissel quickly turns to face Bugsy, grabbing his hoodie and pulling him close.]
Sissel: [angry] She’s gone! I can’t! Don’t fucking ask!
[Bugsy stares at Sissel, scared, while Sissel quickly calms down and drops Bugsy. He backs up slightly.]
Sissel: [worried] Sorry… that’s not-
Bugsy: Oh, it’s fine! Sensitive topic. Besides we’re a support group, just talk when you’re ready.
[Bugsy pats Sissel on the shoulder.]
Bugsy: [happy] I’ll see ya soon mate.
[Bugsy smiles. Sissel nods slowly, then turns and walks off with Goldberg.]
Goldberg: He’s awfully nice, isn’t he?
Sissel: [worried] Yeah, let’s try and never do that again.
Goldberg: Oh definitely. Try not to get all violent, it’s not gonna help considering… recent things.
Sissel: [worried] Definitely.
[Sissel and Goldberg walk down past the group, waving them bye. They exit the college and, as they do, Sissel gets tapped on the shoulder. He turns around and sees Chelsea, wearing her brown blazer and white shirt with splodgy red spots. She gives a smile.]
Chelsea: Hey buddy. How’s your day been?
Sissel: [confused] Fine… um… are you-
Chelsea: Future one, yeah. Sorry, thought I’d stop by and let you know… someone is about to die.
Sissel: [worried] Excuse me?
Goldberg: [concerned] Ask her if it’s the Rabbit?
Sissel: [worried] Who?
[Chelsea chuckles, pushing herself to be stood up properly.]
Chelsea: We’re currently in the swimming pool of the college fighting against the Hatter.
[Goldberg looks worried.]
Goldberg: Shit.
Chelsea: Sissel, in a few moments, you are going to play a very important part in stopping someone from dying. But you’ll need to go soon.
Sissel: [worried] Okay, when do I go? Where do I go, I don’t know where that is.

[Chelsea takes Sissel’s hand and pulls him over onto the edge of the road. She points down the road, mostly empty apart from a single parked car and a van speeding at the bottom of the road. She points at the distant edge of the College building.]
Chelsea: That is the swimming pool…
[She turns and points at the van, now turning towards the pool.]
Chelsea: And the Rabbit is about to make a door for you.
[The van, holding a screaming Vince between the White Rabbit and bloody March Hare, quickly reaches the building and plows through the wall. There’s a loud crashing noise and the van almost completely vanishes into the building. Sissel and Goldberg look at the building, shocked. Eggy quickly comes out to meet Sissel, worried.]
Eggy: [worried] What on earth was that?
Sissel: [concerned] Keep everyone inside, I can handle this.
Eggy: [confused] What-
Sissel: [yelling] I said I can handle this!
[Sissel quickly starts running towards the large van-size hole in the wall as Goldberg, Chelsea and Eggy watch.]
Goldberg: [worried] He’s gonna get himself killed…
Chelsea: Best you deal with that then.
[Goldberg quickly turns to face Chelsea, surprised. She gives a wink and pats him on the back.]
Chelsea: Go on. You know what to do.
[Chelsea smiles and walks off, Goldberg quickly running after Sissel. Eggy wheels herself back into the college.]

Gaslgiht
There is a common line of questioning that falls upon students within their first moments at Kingsly. “Why?”. The student asks, “Why am I here?”. This is a futile line of questioning. There are those who remember, and those who do not. I’ll spare you the technical explanation — that’s what we have teachers for. The jist is as follows: those who remember are... how do I put this... more likely. They occupy more time. and the space that time has allowed them — the pertinent amount — is experienced no matter what. Allow me to offer you a bit of personal information: I am not one who remembers. There is no time relevant to me, no space that I occupy. I exist by carving myself here, and continue to exist in the same fashion. You would do well to follow suit. Why am I here? Because I force myself to be. Because the universe, the universes, for all its kicking and screaming, cannot escort me out.
