The pack treated the notebook like a tournament bracket by the second day.
Maren wanted to know how you beat it.
Selah wanted to know who'd read it.
Hansel, who wasn't in the pack but shared classes, wanted to know if being on the list got you expelled, because Hansel's tuition was still a coin flip and he did not need a Council line item with his name near it.
It was Class Z math.
The class had spent the whole tournament learning to count survival in front of a Vasquez who wanted them dissolved, so the class counted everything now as a thing you either won or lost.
Dani sat at the back through all of it and didn't count it that way.
She was technically cross-enrolled for a credit she didn't need, an administrative overlap she used to secure a seat that wasn't hers.
Soren noticed because Dani noticing things was the whole reason she existed on the map.
He'd put her there himself, line by line, a person who logged the room so somebody would know.
