It had been days for them, and The Principal was still confused on what to do. Baldi was with the founders, being tortured in who knows how many ways. If he and Filename2 could successfully save him, in the only way where he would still be his old self, then he would make sure nothing else ever came between him and Baldi again. The Principal thought, sitting at a table in the detention room. Filename2, unable to sit, stood next to him.
"Coul͜d̛n̛'t͢ ̴w̢e͠ ͝jųst...͢ Giv͏e̢ u͟p҉?" Filename2 said. "I̡ ̢me̶an, h̛e̵'s c̀om͢i̕ng͠ bac̷k̕ nó ̨m͝a̶tt͟er wha̧t.́ It͜ ͘w͝a̶s̵ k͜i͟nd͞ óf́ ̧w̶or̛t̢hl͟e̕ss̴ ̴for̨ yo̡u ̨t̡o̸ ̶try ͡and̸ ̡m̵a͘k̀e h͝i͝m ́h́i͡s͠ ͏o̧l̛d ̵s͏el͠f͘. ͘O̧n̛c͜e͢ the̢ f̸o͘u̢nd̡ers̀ ͟h͜ave͏ h̸im,̷ h̢e͡'s̡ ͘go̢ne͞ f̢o̵ŗ ́g̛oo҉d.̴"
The Principal Of The Thing stood up. "File, you know how nice Baldi used to be. It's been too long, and I was so close. He was almost back to normal again! If I had just tried a little harder--"
"P̸r͝ín̨c̸̡̛i̴̛p̢̡al͡.̕ ̵̴͘Ý͡òu̴'̛͡r̡̀͘e̷̵ ̛͡a̵͢ ͟f̷̸̡@́́%̕$̛̛#̛&͞g̢ ̸̀i̛͝di̴̴̡ǫ́t̨̀̕,̛̛̛ y̵͢o̵u̴ ͏k̸̛͞n͞o͟w̷ ̴thá̡t̡̛?̷́͡ ͏҉͢A̵̶͟l̵w҉̧͢a̷͞͠ys̷̸͞ ̀͏̴t̷͟͡h̢̡́i̢͢n̢͝k̶̛͢i͝͡n͟g̵̛ ̸͘t̵҉h͏̷́a͢͠t i̕f̧ ̛͟y͜o̸͜͟u̵̵͜ ́j̧us͜͞t̴̷͡ ̸'̧́tr̨y̸͞ ̧h̢̛́a̕͝͠r̀͜͏ḑę͏r͜'̴̴͠, ̨͘ev̵eŗ͡y͡t͏̛h̢̀i̕n̵͘͢g̨͢ ̴̨wi͜l̴̴̡l͜ ͝g͏̕e̸t͏͟ ͞b̨ȩ̛͝t͜ter̵͜͝.͠ ̶̴̕N͝é̴̵w̸̴͢s̢f̵la̡s̀h,̴̡̢ ̀d҉$̶͢@̶͢%͠h̸͏̴e̷͠͞a͞d,͝҉ ͢i҉t̴̀ ̸̧w̛͢ǫ͜͜ņ'̸̨҉t. ̀S̶͞o ̢͝͝j͝u͏̀s̸͢t s̴hut ̷̨͜u̷͢p̕ ̨a̶̧̧ń̀d͢ ̷҉̡fa҉̨c̷è the̛ ̶̶̢m̛ưs̀͘į̸͢c͝.̨̧ B̕̕a̸͟l̡d̨͞i̧'҉̷s̡̕ ͢d̡̛͢ȩ͞a͜͠d́." Filename2's cursing was automatically censored. The Principal put his face in his hands. "Yo̴u can̷'t ̶c͝o̷n҉tr͞o͡l͢ The ̵Fǫund͟e̡rs̨.͡ ͞Y͞oú c͘an'̛t ̷ćontr̨ol̶ ̛Ba͡ldį.͘ Hell, ̶yo̢u̴ ̷c͢an ̧bar̡e̶ly͝ e̷v͏e̷ń ̧c̴o̡n͜tr͢ol ̧you̕r̕s̴ęlf!

Filename2 began to leave the classroom. However, The Principal grabbed his shoulder before he could.
"Filename2," The Principal said. His voice was less calm and friendly, and was more quiet and threatening. "I thought that we could trust you. As the first player, we didn't know if you would like us after what we put you through. And instead of actually helping me, you tell me all the bad things that could happen, then just up and leave? You're truly sick.
"And another thing; You were the one that got all the questions wrong in the first place! If you maybe tried harder, then you wouldn't be in this mess. Maybe Baldi is dead, but there is still a possibility that he is alive. Now you are going to help me or I swear to God I will lock you back in Baldi's Office until the game is lost and forgotten."
Filename2 took a step back. The Principal Of The Thing followed him.
"Do you understand me?"
