>"Um, Rumia, could your wait out there for me?" Gesture toward the trees. "I'll see if I can get you something to eat in the meantime, alright? And if anyone gives you trouble, just tell them I asked you to wait there, okay?"
>Try not to feel like a jerk.

>You go over to the nearest patch of trees outside the village, which is actually a reasonable walk westward, and ask Rumia if she can stay there, out of sight. You feel a little bad, but figure this is probably for the best for everyone concerned.
>Rumia seems uncharacteristically downcast. "Village people don't like Rumia, do they? Quiz lady didn't like Rumia, either.... Rumia couldn't help being hungry. Not Rumia's fault everyone so tasty..."

>"Well, it is your fault you tried to eat someone who could talk back... But, let's not worry about it for now. I'll come back for you when I can. And, I'll try to bring a little something for you to eat as an apology, okay?"
>God we're such a jerk...

>You head back towards the village. You can see Rumia start to playfully skip around some of the trees as you walk off. You doubt anyone could see her from the village, though, unless she decides to wander off again...
>You reach the western edge of the village, again.The shrine is southeast. Your home is north. The school is northeast. The market area is east.

>You head back towards the school. You pass another person or two on the way, and exchange greetings. Things seem rather friendly and normal around here, actually.
>There doesn't seem to be anyone around the school at the moment. Although, if the schedule here is anything like the one at home, it wouldn't be ready to start, yet. Just the early birds up and about so far.

>It still seems fairly quiet here. You go around and have a look at some of the windows. You don't see any signs of life inside. There's a couple windows that might be large enough to get through, although they're mostly closed from the inside. One is open a crack. It might be possible to pry it open, with some effort.

>Work that window open and climb in.

>You squeeze your fingers in around the window and give it a pull. It seems to be one of the style that cranks open from the inside, and the mechanism protests your attempts to open it in this fashion. It's certainly more solidly constructed than your old one, but you put a little more muscle into it and eventually get it most of the way open. Of course, now you realize that there's still a screen in the way.

>Examine the screen, see if it can be removed from the outside for cleaning purposes. Not like screens are meant to stop burglars.

>You take a closer look at the screen. It seems to have a catch on the inside, probably more to keep it from falling out than to keep anyone from taking it out. It wouldn't be hard to pull it out if you could find some way to grip it. There isn't really any place at the moment for your fingers to find purchase.

>It might be, if you can find something thin and sturdy enough. A stick of the right size might work.

>You scan around the nearby area. You see a couple sticks, but they look too thick. However, there are a couple small trees near here. You could probably tear off a branch that might be suitable.

>You find a suitable sized branch and snap it off in such a way to try and leave a point you could wedge in between the window screen and the window frame. You then trim off the excess leaves. This should probably do.

>You smile at your handywork. Not bad if you do say so yourself.

>You hoist yourself up into the window and try to squeeze through. Unfortunately, it's not a large window, and consequently a tight fit. You wiggle and make a little more progress as the window frame scrapes somewhat painfully against your sides. You think you're at least halfway in, now.
>Suddenly, you hear someone laughing behind you. "Well, that's not something you see every day."
