[At least it seems they're covered when it comes to avoiding direct conflict with their friends, which is a relief. Well, direct conflict outside of the context of murder, rather.
But curfew patterns, eh...?]
Intent to kill seems to be a factor, but it's hard to say what connects the two victims. Lavi was seemingly chosen at random, and I don't think we confirmed [he pauses here with a bit of a grimace.] the second time if the choice of victim was deliberate.
[Honestly, there's one other alternative he can think of, but that would effectively come down to playing a guessing game, and the odds are stacked against them.]
I suppose you're right. [...] We should make arrangements to stay in separate locations, then. We'll have to think of what to tell Elan, too.
I think he should be safe as long as he stays in the dorms. If someone’s searching for a target, there are better strategies than attempting to break through a locked door.
[Especially with the number of people that seem to stay outside their rooms come nightfall…
In any case, he nods at that tidy summary of their plan. Although.]
Actually, do you mind if I ask what task you received this week?
[Dehya nods. There's something sobering about really agreeing to it, even though it was her idea. But--she thinks Louis understands that if anyone can take the burden willingly, that's better than leaving it to chance and desperation.

But I'm worried about Elan being alone. I know there's not much we can do if we pass out, but...
[At least one of them there could help with reinforcements so no one can get in.]
So we split up, and... decide we'd kill each other once curfew hits.
