After the Wake concludes with a minute of silence, the students return to their classes, though there is no real teaching happening anymore for the rest of the day. The students are in no condition to focus on schoolwork today and the teachers realize that, so most classes become simply sessions for the students to discuss Mark and his death.
Not all these talks are somber, many students joke and laugh about how this weird kid was dumb enough to climb an electric pole and get himself killed.
The four of you notice increased occurrences of strange behavior among the students and teachers throughout the day. One girl threw up during lunch, blaming it on a horrible smell of feces and blood. None of you smelled anything but a couple of students agreed with her that it was there.
One teacher broke down sobbing in the middle of the class and had to be escorted to the nurses office because he was unable to stop.
During a break, you spotted a group of four people sitting together in a corner, hands pressed firmly over their ears and begging for "the heartbeat" to stop.
After school, you overhear the school nurse quietly talking to Rektor Järnek over a cigarette about a few students coming in complaining about intense pains as if something was drilling into their skin, despite them having no injuries.
The police stay at school all day to answer questions or simply offer the students someone to speak to as the school doesn't have any actual counselors. The only people who seem to take them up on that offer though are some older boys who use that opportunity to inappropriately hit on Granfors' partner, Officer Målhammar, a very attractive woman in her late twenties.
They also notice the strange occurences among the students and teachers but are unable to explain them and do little more than offer moral support where they can.
Once school lets out, the four of you, accompanied by Peter, take the bus up to Sånga-Säby. As you sit down on the bus, Peter, almost too eagerly, sits down next to Yumin. He is mostly quiet during the entire ride, though, spending most of it looking at her and then quickly turning away whenever she looks in his direction.
Kajsa is with you for most of the bus ride but gets off a bit before you. The bus driver eyes you all curiously in the mirror, not being used to anyone except Peter staying on the bus this far north.
Once you get out at the Sånga-Säby bus stop, you turn east and walk for quite a while, even leaving the town proper. Mark's house is located right next to the small Igelviken lake, a few minutes outside Sånga-Säby. It stands alone, surrounded by a dense wall of trees. As you approach it, the muffled sound of loud psychedelic rock music can be heard from inside. The house itself is covered in wind chimes and dream catchers, as are the surrounding trees.
The windows are open, though almost all curtains are drawn shut, obstructing the view inside.

OOC:
With your posts, as you approach the house, each of you also give me an Empathy Roll (Hearts+Empathy). The results may be important later
