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?

What are the roots of such a bizarre umm hazing? White robes took me down a theological path more than mythologocal... baptism in shared ? fear. Interesting. Quickest way round an mountain is through it. Tunnels that lead to under the lake? Swimming and glacier fed lakes, oxygen and the brain. Much to think about

Excellent way to distract Lawrence from the diary shorthand or not.

Are most of them gay though? I think hiding heterosexuality would be an advantage, within the circle, and hiding any form of sexuality within the faculty, an imperative.

Wondering if Bastien hid the journal in the matress after the death of Lukas. Somewhere that has already been searched. But a needle left in the bed... seems almost simple.

Cant say I know anything about fencing, do know a lot about chest thumping amd posturing. Doesnt matter who it is I am guessing they are all protecting themselves and their secrets first. The circle gives the impression of protecting the Sun King but they also keep him hemmed in. Me thinks that is the schools idea. Anton and Abelard need to feel in control. They're not but they feel like it.

No not the maths.... unless its a drug calculation Im buggered. 🤣

I think the circle enables its members to feel the illusion of security, gives the school and rich parents the illusion that they hold/contain the power until the school/prison successfully teaches compliance to a rather disturbing set of rules. Bastien was testing waters with Lawrance....he is the new kid. But the was a glimpse of hesitancy on Bastiens part. So I am not sure he understands his own feels right now. Just that he needs/wants to protect Lawrance. There has to be another murder... because someone else knows all about the first. So many choices, I feel the need to start behaviour mapping.

Hierarchy within. Ernests behaviour is interesting. Amazing school or front/prison. Expectant conformity within their preestablished roles. Money can be evil. Secrets = money, but for whom?

Who doesnt like a challenge !

Kudos, the insight translates.
