So he gets a weird whisper and the speaker runs off? Someone has a shy admirer.

Ciel is a creepy mysterious voice, so can she really confirm the other one?

Honestly, probably the painter or his folks making a move.
The group has not been very subtle in their investigations really.

Noah is at the point where the mysterious voices in his head are being confirmed by the mysterious voices in his head.

Or, she only has Noah’s abstracts sense to work with, and would be subject to any hallucinations equally.

It is a good thing that Ciel has those not-at-all-suspicious pink sparkles in her eyes!

Is that pink blob some kind of free roaming spirit? Anyways, this is creepy as heck

Noah is Wraith from Apex Legends, confirmed!

Quick, check and see who's not in the room!

Ciel eye sparkles are similar to sparkles in the room on the previous pages. were they there in close-ups before they entered this room?

I feel like something illusiony is happening, including to Ciel or to Noah's perception of her. there's the sparkles, but also the sleeping person in the background has changed colour and we haven't seen the other academy kids leave. Ciel also only said she'd been seen, by the people earlier, after entering this room.

Although usually correlation does not imply causation, here we can safely assume that the spirit dissapearing has something to do with Noah's group leaving.

Perhaps the cause is invisible, and following the group, or maybe one of the group is secretely (or unknowingly) a spy for the magic kids...

Or perhaps the spirit in the room is a side-effect of the mind-control-magic that I have been theorising about, just like those floating pink dots...

Okay, I could be wrong, but I do think Ciel might have been compromised in some way. The room was completely pink when they first arrived and to me the shroud dissolved into the little pink plus sparkles. Ciel has never had sparkles in her eyes like that before entering this room. I just ran through the archive and they never show up. I think something has affected her

I think the whisper was to separate Noah from the group. The pink spirit 'fog' was to mask the one making the whisper...who have probbaly left by now.

It's now only matter of time before Noah writes a letter of resignation to Veda, and joins the Crazy Painter team!

Let's have in consideration that Noah couldn't even remotely sense the source of the spirit, because Ciel didn't catch anything either, so maybe the source isn't an student, but some kind of spell that mimics being spirit. Notice how the spirit is sparkling while normal spirit doesn't.

theya gonna dieidid

The eye sparkles arn't new, or atleast arn't THAT new.
They also showed up on the page where Ciel stated she was seen by one of the hall monitors.
Just typically don't zoom in close enough for Neorice to include them I feel.

Uhoh, the enticement sparkles got in her eyes! She is compromised!

@random student

again the page where she says she wad seen happens inside the room with the shroud. there are several pages with just as much of a close up before and no sparkles
