SEE. SEE! Les couldn’t explain it except to say that everything about Wilsons felt wrong. It was as if something had been holding the place together all along, and that something had weakened, if not disappeared altogether. He started to notice how shabby the place had become. It had never been particularly spick-and-span, but now there was rubbish blowing across the lawns at the back of the school, and broken guttering spilled water down the side of the building. The damage to the Gallery of Whispers had not been repaired, and there was green mold on the walls where the damp had gotten in. Even Ravensdale, the mysterious village that functioned as a canteen for the cadets, seemed unkempt, with weeds growing in the streets and ivy crawling up the walls. “Is it me, or are there fewer cadets here every day?” Dixie asked one afternoon in the Roosts. “It’s not you,” Vandra said. “Parents are taking their children out of the place. They’re all saying that Wilsons’s days are over, that it stood for something once, but the world has moved on.”
