"I've been a fool, I've been cruel to myself
I've been hanging onto nothing
When nothing could be worse than hanging on"
— Ruth Moody, "Heaven When We're Home"

Benjamin needs a new coat, a roommate, a clue or two, and maybe someone should inventory the rocks in his head. It's all good for something at Whateley Academy.

"Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed."
