The Middleton University tour drags on, punctuated by Edith’s jarring questions about campus deaths that draw dirty looks from her daughter. While you’s sister wanders off, annoyed, you remains behind, battling a dying cell signal. Frustrated, you paces across the quad, phone held high, oblivious to the path ahead.
