Greaves: Greaves: why would impressionable young men do that Greaves: is there a reason they would do that? Greaves: is there some reason that they would desire to do that? Kafka: Kafka: i i i

Kafka: i'm just saying it's morally irresponsible to tell this story! Kafka: nobody should even think about this dorm! Kafka: i am erasing it from my memory! Kafka: wait is this a real dorm Kafka: where is this dorm? Greaves: Kafka: WHERE IS IT

Greaves: why do you want to know where it is Kafka: i need to know so uhhh i can be sure NOT to go there Kafka: its like when people wanted to know where shirley jacksons the lottery was so they could be sure to NOT go watch it Greaves: is she always like this? Poe: yeah this is a thing Poe: kind of a running gag i guess
