"Hell yeah," Viktor cosigns. Drinks are always on the table. It's highly problematic, and not just because of Klaus. Compared to murder and hard drugs, it's an acceptable crutch.

"I don't know much, to be honest." Viktor paces the aisles, looking about as though he'd be able to find the answers himself. The room looks different at night, somehow, despite its lack of windows. "She said there's a ghost in here that wants to hurt her."

Viktor hesitates before sharing the uncharitable thought. "I'm not sure I believe her." It's not about whether or not the student is smart, but capable. Willing to put in work. For some reason, Viktor doubts it. Why he's coming down so hard on this girl in his head, he's not sure.

It would be nice if she wasn't. How does a person deal with a girl lying about a ghost to maybe influence her grade?
