Discuss...? Discuss what? That was garbage. Did you make any sense out of that?
I-I'm going to be honest, I'm still not really sure what I just saw! Those weren't really supposed to be cats, right? But how did... I mean, the fur... What.
[sometimes you are just a ye olde who doesn't understand cgi, or movies, or cats 2019.]
Not really. Chad came down to stay with us during lockdown, but that's about the only noteworthy thing to happen between the start of the night and that obnoxious death announcement.
I don't... think it's really the dorm head's fault. They're probably doing the best they can, like we all are, you know? It doesn't seem like they know too much more than we do.
[she scoffs.] ... I know they're not the enemy, though. Just... it's like they're completely bound by these nonsense "school rules." And who even came up with those!?

Everyone I've talked to about it says it's tied to some kind of incident that happened a long time ago, but they don't know specifics.
