I’m glad you asked. There is something.

Ben

You can tell me in confidence.

Hannah

Have any of the essays mentioned a voice?

Ben

Yes. What do you know about it?

Hannah

I heard it myself. Overheard it.

Ben

What did it sound like? What did it say?

Hannah

It asked for help. Said it was trapped.

Ben

Could it have been a part of the installation? A recording made by the students?

Hannah

It may have been. Only their panic was real. It affected them all in different ways.

Ben

Hannah, can we meet?

Hannah

Absolutely not.
