It's very quiet in the school, and the deeper they go the quieter it seems. Footsteps echo more than they should and the distortion gets worse, as if someone were pulling harder and harder at the edges of the film just out of sight. Sometimes the film cuts out entirely, but only for a few seconds at a time. The better-preserved areas of the building have worse film corruption, but there's no specific source.
As they head upstairs, the brighter, less oppressive atmosphere of the stairwell relieves the tension somewhat, but it reinstates itself upstairs, and the film distortion returns. The teacher's lounge is unlocked, and everything except the machine seems accessible without an ID. The atmosphere is thick here, like trying to breathe through thick steam.
Searching the school, Jay will find a teacher's edition of a math textbook that doesn't mention dates but does cover up through what would normally be considered late middle school math despite being labeled as an elementary school resource. He will also find a child's umbrella and a very small backpack shaped like a bear, with the "mouth" opening up and accepting anything placed into it. Inside is a child's drawing of a group of shadow people surrounding a small, crouched figure.
While searching upstairs, the piano downstairs will begin to play, and will continue to play until they return downstairs, when it will stop. There is no one in the room it's in--and, of course, there aren't any strings in the piano anyway.
