The reactions in Kir's class to learning they had the chance to go on a paid field trip that winter were mixed, to say the least.
The twins were automatically excited - free to do what they wanted since they were stuck at the school until graduation or expulsion since their family had two more sets of twins at home.
Keiya was excited, and she asked Kir after class if they could visit the spirit of the lake on the way, to which Kir said "I'll see what I can do," with a reassuring wink.
Encke didn't react. Even though Kir tried to find out more about her through conversations, she was quite shy with information. He knew there was a brave girl in there somewhere, but drawing her out was... not his strong suit.
