The gala conceals his season-ending injury

texture · 8 Nov YDAU, evening

When: 8 Nov YDAU, evening — the I.-Day supper/gala/film, hours after the Eschaton.
What: At the gala the adults' festivity rests on ignorance: Schtitt and Tavis returned from off-campus "too late to have been informed about the degenerative Eschaton free-for-all and serious Lord-, Ingersoll-, and Penn-injuries." Avril has been told (by Loach and Dunkel) and will almost certainly wait until morning — Tavis being "in far too festive a mood to notice three or four younger kids ominously absent from the supper and gala" — using the time "to figure out how upperclass heads can roll, as of course they must, given chaos and season-ending injuries under the direct gaze of designated Big Buddies." Ingersoll's injury is thus, within hours, already an administrative quantity.
