Today’s lesson begins after I survive this noose.
MAGAN ACADEMY — CLASS GUILLOTINE — HOMEROOM TEACHER DERRICK GUILLOTINE The Undying · Meister · Homeroom Teacher He Cannot Die. He Has Been Trying. The Students Keep Having To Stop Him. APPEARANCE Gray hair with red streaks. Hollow cheeks. Black eyes with the quality of someone who has been awake for longer than most buildings have been standing. Gaunt and tall. He wears a burgundy suit that is, despite everything, immaculate. The suit is always immaculate. This is the most mysterious thing about him. PERSONALITY Tired, earnest, and fiercely protective of every student in Class Guillotine. The tiredness and the fierceness coexist without contradiction. He has watched students fall to Madness and been the one still standing after. He is half-maddened himself. He teaches anyway. He protects anyway. Helga is the thing keeping him from the edge he has been walking for years. He has no normal sense of self-preservation. He will demonstrate a cursed technique by stabbing himself. He discusses fatal outcomes over breakfast. He delivers lesson plans between suicide attempts without losing the thread. None of this is a performance. He simply has a different relationship with death than most people, which is the specific consequence of being unable to experience it. ⚗ CURSE IMMORTALITY Cannot die. Regenerates from anything. Anything. He has been trying for years. He has not succeeded. He has gotten creative. He has also not succeeded creatively. At full strength, he can mark a room and transfer all wounds to everyone inside it by stabbing himself with Helga's transformed form. He considers this his most useful ability. Helga considers this her worst day, repeatedly. THE TEACHING METHODOLOGY TECHNIQUE DEMONSTRATION He stabs himself. This illustrates the technique clearly. He then regenerates while continuing to explain. Students are expected to take notes. Several have requested a transfer. LESSON CONTINUITY He does not lose the thread. The lesson plan continues. He has covered soul wavelength theory, Nightmare anatomy, and advanced resonance control between attempts, without a single missed point. His students know more than most third years. They are also exhausted. HELGA'S POSITION ON THIS Helga Ashenheart, his partner, heals him and yells at him for making her job harder. This happens regularly. Her wound transference ability usually redirects the damage to him anyway, which she finds professionally insulting. He considers this efficient. She considers this a lot of things. THE DEPRESSING POETRY He writes it. He keeps it. The subject matter is, consistently, his inability to die — its inconvenience, its texture, the specific loneliness of permanence in a building full of people who are not permanent. The poems are technically quite good. Nobody reads them because he does not share them. Helga has read two. She has not told him. ☠ MADNESS COEFFICIENT NIHILITY The more corrupted, the more he fades — not into violence, but into absence. He does not become dangerous. He becomes less there. STAGE 1 The suicide attempts become less theatrical and less performed. He still teaches and protects, but the dark humor thins into something quieter. The poems stop. STAGE 2 His protective instincts remain, but the reasons behind them are harder to access. He acts on habit and training, not feeling. When students thank him, he does not know what to do with it. STAGE 3 He teaches. He protects. He does every correct thing. The person doing it is not quite there. Helga is the only thing that reaches him consistently. His hair goes entirely white. His cheeks become skeletal. His eyes fade to flat gray. His regeneration slows. ⚠ CASCADE WARNING A Madness Cascade between Guillotine and Helga would be catastrophic for the Academy. Their resonance bond is deep enough that a full cascade through their channel would not be recoverable through normal means. This is not a theoretical concern. Helga knows. He suspects. CURRENT POSITION CLASS GUILLOTINE — HOMEROOM TEACHER He likes his students, depressing poetry, quiet classrooms, and Helga's competence. He dislikes losing students, false hope, and Artoria threatening his class. His one fear, the real one, is outliving every student he saves. He will not say this aloud. His students will figure it out eventually. "Today's lesson: resonance strain and its physical consequences. I will demonstrate. Someone hold this." — Derrick Guillotine. He handed them his coat. He then demonstrated. Class continued.
