What it is:

You're in the chemistry lab. Ryouta and Sakuya burst in, looking distressed.

RYOUTA: Mister Nanaki!

KAZUAKI: Welcome back. Have you found anything interesting?

SAKUYA: Yet another suspicious individual. But, we should speak with the headmaster first. Have you gotten the key?

KAZUAKI: Yes, I have. Right here.

RYOUTA: Thank you, sir!

KAZUAKI: Well, let's go have a look, shall we?

YUUYA: The doctor and I will be here. Be careful. Adieu!

You step out into the hallway. There are no signs of the scarecrow the students saw earlier.

KAZUAKI: That's good. If I had to fly away from something like that I might panic and hit the ceiling.

SAKUYA: We should hear it dragging its arm when it moves, so we'll have plenty of time to get away. Let's go in!

KAZUAKI: Right, right. Let's see...

You open the door to the headmaster's office.

RYOUTA: Excuse us! ... Maybe he's not here?

SAKUYA: Hrrm. That, or hiding.

There's somebirdie at the desk. He's sitting with his back to you, but his feathers are the unmistakeable green of a nicobar.

SAKUYA: Speak to us, headmaster! Have you gone deaf!?

RYOUTA: Sakuya, be polite! Japan is the country of courtesy, after all.

SAKUYA: Is it his fault or mine that we had to come here? Headmaster, will you--

He pauses, shocked.

SAKUYA: Th... this...

RYOUTA: S-sakuya...? ...!

The thing here... is no longer the headmaster. His half-closed eyes are dull and cloudy. The skin showing beneath his feathers is pallid.

SAKUYA: What... what madness...!?

RYOUTA: H-him too...?
