[Waking up the next day in the same place puts a particular dampener on Maria's spirits. Surely, then, this isn't just a particularly strange dream? Which means...which means a lot of different things that are upsetting.

Think. What would Grandfather do? Well...he'd want her to keep her head up, that's the first thing. So. Deal with the issues, if she can, one at a time.

She shivers, the thin and barely-there blanket around her shoulders as she visits the dorms, politely knocking and looking rather pathetic really.]

Um, excuse me, but does this room happen to have extra blankets? Or...nicer ones? Oh, or maybe has someone found a place to get some? Someone's bound to catch themselves a death of cold like this.

[Ha, haha, and it definitely won't be her or anything!

Later, after trying to flatten out her hair and mostly getting it fingercombed through, it's time to do more exploring. While being very, very careful where she steps. In particular, she finds herself looking for the nurse's office and gives a cry at the state of it.]

Oh my goodness! This is just...terrible! [She's not touching that thank you!

She's winded by the time she makes it up to the sunroom, but at least she finds herself smiling a bit more at the sight.]

A little work, and this might actually be a nice room! Oh...maybe with a garden!
