Summary[]
Vance heads back to the shared dorm room to find it empty, with both Frey and his violin gone, and begins to talk to his Kimiko waifu pillow, first noting at least she's there but then again, she's not real. He then goes off, remembering the homeless man's fate and realizes he's never wanted anything real in life, never bled for anything like the homeless man had, and how real people vanish yet he's still here.
Resolute at this last part, a determined Vance then goes to his computer to try and prevent the same fate from happening to Robin. However, as he breaks back into the school's network he discovers something weird is going on: his SQLi still works and Robin's records show that she actually passed the exam. As he ponders this, he remembers the shredded tests and that they were also failed responses so someone is covering up for the students. He goes through his mind about the possible people with access, including the school admins and the professor, but also realizes himself and Frey know. Putting stuff slowly together, Vance concludes there's more to Frey than he's letting on as he claimed to work for Campus InfoSpec yet didn't patch up the vulnerability Vance used and how odd his life got since Frey showed up. Vance then questions what Frey wants with him, what's his agenda, and who is he.
