It was an interesting side to Anton, seems like he didnt want to make Abelard jealous.

I love Elliot....chapter cracked me up. Read it more than one just so I could keep laughing.

As for the cars being a secret? How could they be? Highlights the fact no one was stuck at the school, teacher or otherwise at any time. I think it suits most of the golden circle to keep the focus on Bastien. Makes moving laterally easier for people especially those less in focus.

Firstly very cool comment... So if Anton and his car speaks true...and as it is written Anton is/was senior or came first and Bastien is still central, you mentioned potential possessivness, is Anton possessive of Bastien or an ideology in which he is the focus?

I may be wrong but after reading you thoughts on Herr Becker... my mind changed him into a bitter little man that just has to suffer ED.

Very interesting....love it. Who is the well dressed drunk? Now this maybe a generalization..... but people still hide illegitimate family members, for many reasons well intended and not ? Even today (or in the 80s)

One can be faithful without being trustworthy.. the reverse also being true. Perpective .....

Your comment makes me wonder about the dead really being dead and the debate albeit stiffled in regards to the poison.

Too many questions, I have been considering the twins for some time. Dont know many that truly dont get along? I makes sense to me that someone maybe playing both sides of the fence , enemies closer etc. As for who smashed the statue in their rush to escape, ill take a each way be on either bastien or fluffy...slippers are perfect for sneaking.

Herr Becker arrived, Ali arrived and someone was listening, the delightful Herr Becker could have dropped the book on purpose, perhaps somone is following HB suspicious of his actions? Herrings all around.....

Not sure bunny slippers have an aristocratic feel, though maybe im wrong.... maybe foxes? In saying that it was the middle of the night here and in the cold light of day I am not sure why I was stuck on the slippers🤔

I want to know who bought the fluffy slippers? An heir.... aren't they all the "heir" in the familial sense. To what indeed.... I didnt actually think that Anton was talking about the diary. I think he was talking about Bastien. Like he was giving Lawrence permission but.... who has that conversation in fluffy slippers and why?

While the chapter has its ummm... highlights, I am left sounding like a kid again. Why? Bastien actually said he had wanted this for a long time... so either I have forgotten time feels like forever for that age group or he is full of shit. The school can not be legit... Love it...

And now you stop....! Its only Sunday? However The diary, white oak, drawing.... Lies. Changed how I saw everything including Lucas and the circle. Though the tree made me think of a business card emblem, the doors that dont open a gift from a wealthy family. Creepy myths and malevolent teachers keep the students away from what the school attempts to legitamize for its weathy clients maybe. Still think the whole Cleansing ritual or whatever, is creepy and seems ritualistic. Maybe its an odd idea of team building?

Cant say I have met many twins that dont get along... seems like they have split the work load and it would not surprise me if their team is quite effective at sustaining their levels of information and contact with all the players in the game. As for the diary... why did Anton mention writing in diaries and why did Bastien answer the way he did?
