Overview

Life is all about deposits and withdrawals.

You spot the Nurse running around with two glass jars in her hand, looking more nervous than usual. When asked what's going on, she explains that the hospital is in need of funding and was tasked to raise money. She's trying to set up donation jars at the school with a goal of collecting $500, but has too much on her plate already between flu season and standard hospital work. She asks for your assistance, and you accept.

Your task is to set up the jars in 2 locations of your choosing around the school. The available locations are:

• Admin Wing
• Art Classroom
• Cafeteria
• English Classroom
• Fine Arts Wing
• Gym
• Music Classroom
• Sports Wing

Every hour, money will be donated, stolen, or kept the same depending on time and location (You'll be given hints of the optimal time when entering a valid location). The jars can be moved at any point you see fit, and when a jar reaches $250, you're free to put it in your inventory to prevent more from being stolen. When both jars have $250, collect them and return them to the Nurse, who will be thankful again for your help.

The next day, you check in on the Nurse in her office, only to find her crying behind the bed curtain. She explains that someone broke into her office last night and stole all the money! With the police being of no immediate help and the hospital needing the money right away, you offer your assistance into investigating the theft. You examine the jars. No fingerprints, but you do get a strong whiff of a very familiar wildflower-scented perfume.

You confront Maya about the jars, but she claims her innocence in the theft, explaining that her perfume was recently stolen while showering at school. You initially doubt her story, but she then asks why a thief would wear such a large amount of recognizable perfume other than to frame someone. Conceding, you decide to wait until nighttime and investigate the women's bathroom after distracting the Guard.

To your complete shock, you catch Mrs. L rummaging in Maya's locker! She claims she's just working late due to the new semester, but once she leaves, you find Maya's perfume back in its rightful place. Now curious why Mrs. L would steal the money, you try to confront her in the Homeroom, but you overhear her and the mysterious yet familiar voice arguing. The voice accuses Mrs. L of causing the fire in Big Witch Energy, but Mrs. L accuses the other party of being responsible for intervening with Lindsey's fall, implying that it was supposed to kill her. The voice then tells Mrs. L that she's "not playing fair" and "growing reckless". Before you can stick around to see who the mysterious figure is, the Guard catches you and gives you a detention.

You return home, confused and defeated. You weren't able to recover the stolen money for the Nurse and are left wondering what Mrs. L is up to with any of this. You decide to get some sleep and think this over with a clear mind.
