Sure, Headsman. You just roped a bunch of kids in to bring a brutal end to a bunch of defenceless dummies, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
Story time? Really? ... Well, why not. If recent trends were anything to go by, it seemed unlikely they'd remember anything from this lesson even if it was taught in a way that meant actually learning anything new. They shrugged and clicked their flashlight off, so their translucent face more or less disappeared from view.
And Nem listened. And... kind of listened some more. And then stopped listening. Not only was this not interesting in the slightest, but they couldn't even remember how the story had started, and even whatever had been said roughly two students earlier was fading. Pointless. All pointless.
Well, Nem was just going to do whatever. Old habits, and all.
After the girl beside Nem had spoken - Grim or Gromit or something - Nem clicked on their own flashlight and held it below their face again. "But then the children realised that their adult overlord, Stalactite Tent, had been trying to distract them from the fact that the world was legitimately ending, so that everyone would die and nobody would be left to snitch that he'd totally let it happen. Some realised the crying baby was him, because duh, but the rest stupidly denied it." They clicked the flashlight off, and then back on once more. "And that's when they all turned on each other."
And off again.
Wait, was that the moon?
