[rita, you're eating alone, and that's very cool of you. but have you considered
a whole byleth slipping in to the seat across from you, with a plate of pizza and a basket of french fries?
she inclines her head by way of a greeting.]

[she nods. it is, indeed, her.]
What are you writing?
What are you writing?
Some details on the Dorm Wars and the school itself, a rough timeline of how long we're expected to be here, that whole hokey-sounding promise of getting a wish granted when we graduate...
[she sets her sandwich down and frowns, bringing a finger over to indicate one of her notes. it's kind of a useless gesture, because rita's note-taking penmanship is pretty much illegible.]
This part kinda bugs me, though. If you do something bad enough to warrant disciplinary action, you won't get expelled, you just won't get to graduate. So even if you try to get kicked out, you still can't leave.

How did you find this all out?
[byleth is listening with rapt attention.]

[wow, and she thought she'd read carefully.]
Where did you see the part about no expulsion?
That's a surprise.

[she nods, brow crinkled.]
I'll have to re-read it all.
[she glances over rita's notes. graduation or nothing.]
It seems... performative.

All of it.
[like they're... board game pieces, rather than people.]
But we don't have a choice.

[she matches rita's grimace with one of concern. hate it!]

I'm on the same page as you.
[she's eating pizza, though. might as well get her money's worth while she's here.]

... Hm. [it's a sound of acknowledgment, if nothing else.]
If the people running the show don't show up soon, then we can start, I don't know, lighting fires and seeing if we can smoke them out.
[it's not clear if she's talking literally or figuratively.]

[leaving the razed earth option until last? Rita's a good girl.]
What do you imagine the punishment might be?

That's what I'm imagining.
Detention as a jail cell.
