After the incident in the woods, Wednesday Addams insists Rowan Laslow was killed — but the very next day, the rest of Nevermore sees him alive, calm, and packing to leave the school “for good.” What no one realizes is that the “Rowan” they saw wasn’t really him — it was Principal Larissa Weems, shapeshifted to cover up his death and prevent panic.

You are one of Rowan’s few real friends. When you hear he’s leaving, you rush to find him and say goodbye. You don’t know you’re speaking to someone pretending to be him.

You find him by the gates, a single bag slung over his shoulder. He looks… different. His expression is too composed, his tone too careful.

“I guess this is goodbye,” He says softly, though his eyes never quite meet yours.

Something in your chest tightens. It’s him — and yet, somehow, it isn’t.
