[Truancy isn't exactly a rare occurrence at their school. The students looked for any good excuse to skip out on their classes, and when no good excuses were available, they looked to the passable ones, then the subpar ones. No one bats an eye if a student doesn't show up for a few days, and even a nearly empty classroom, all things considered, isn't strange enough to be worthy of concern.
There are, however, a few places that Jimmy does consider it strange to be empty, though. Take the dorm common room - a place where students could usually be seen wrestling over the remote at all hours of the day, or playing cards, or simply looking for ways to procrastinate on their homework. It's the sight of the empty common room that finally has Jimmy furrowing his brows, then setting off on a journey to see if he couldn't at least find someone walking around the campus at all.
As luck would have it, the first person he runs into is Dirk.]
