Sidenote - There are more kinds of love than romantic love. Friends can get deeply bonded too. Have you all never heard of friends who met in college and formed lifelong relationships?

If Cassie says she and her roommate weren't in love, I'd say let's keep to that. She knows better than us and it could be relevant to save her.

Also, what is the roommate's name?? That could be helpful in many ways!

Why Grayson shouldn't alert the administration to the fact that one of their pets is killing even more students than allowed?

He's not even aware of Ashley's subsequent dalliance with the Laundry Lady, so he has 0 reason to protect her. We already know he probably knows how to contact the "real"'administration, if only just to shield his dad the Dean. Hell, for all we know, his dad could get in trouble for getting too many dead students on supernatural records so maybe that's yet another way he's protecting him.

Ooorrrrr he is in fact "Gray's Son"! Maybe he is actually part of the "real" administration and is for example in charge of keeping the Dean under control. And he is... taking a special interest in Ashley? Among allll the other students? Maybe he really does like her 😉 or maybe it's because she can sense the inhuman? Maybe he's using her behind the scene, hoping to debunk other abusers among the campus's supernatural inhabitants?

But then, if the big conflict is between New and Old monsters and the administration/ Gray's Son are on the New side, how did he not try to prevent Ashley from destroying the Eye? Why isn't he shielding her from the Rain Man? Hell, why would someone tied to the Master of the Gray World be on New monsters' side? Isn't he super ancient?

IDK I'm rambling lol

mmm Pretty sure the timing (= your teacher was about to propose) is relevant as to why that piece of petrified wood *might* be working as a talisman.

What is this, a King Kong vs T-Rex fight?! Do we know that Rainman survived the encounter?

Oh God, I'm so sorry Ashley, I always forget the "kid" part of "college kid" gaah

whaaaaat seriously??

I dare. How old were you??

yeah, But I think that in his mind, this isn't about Ashley at all. She's just a tool in his personal war against the "new" creatures. That might be why the bargain seems disproportionate from her POV: there are bigger things at stake.

If that's the flickering man, and he hangs upside-down in the rain... Anyone else having 2002 Spiderman flashbacks? lol good luck with that Ashley

yeah Ashley, it might be worth having dinner with Grayson if only just to learn more about his mom.

Honestly, he sounds more familiar than Beau, and more manageable too - you kinda know how to work around him and his MO. Besides, there are plenty of stories of tricksters defeating the devil, so we know it's always a possibility.

Yeah, honestly, even if he's going to come back, doesn't hurt to set him back a few steps once in a while. I'd kill his corporeal form whenever possible, just to be safe.

TBF That would explain why Grayson always seems so casual about the resident weirdos. He only seems worried when it's Ashley or someone else taking risks. He might still be mostly in the dark about what's going on though, apart from being pretty sure that he'll be safe from it.

Do you guys do posthumous graduation, like, for someone dying in a particularly heroic way? Sorry to be grim, but you might want to check.

I mean, maybe; but intimacy isn't necessarily required for a supernatural disappearance to be traumatic.
