** Gabriella, one of the few students, approaches Ms. Anu, Jeanie, and Amber because her friend got locked out of a dorm room... and [[FailedASpotCheck didn't even seem to notice]] that Jeanie and Ms. Anu were ''carrying a sledge hammer and a crowbar'' until a bit later. May be slightly justified by it being a blackout but the fact she noticed it a few pages later makes her seem ''severely'' inattentive.

!!The Music/KateBush album:
* GrowingTheBeard: Especially in retrospect, this album is widely considered the point where Bush found her footing as an artist, featuring a more experimental sound that would directly inform her later work.
* VindicatedByHistory: While US reception was positive from the outset, the album sharply split critics in its native UK and commercially underperformed. Decades later, it's universally considered one of Bush's best and most important albums.

** Avril Merriweather, the founder of Greenwich Private College back when it was still an all girls school, was originally a governess in England who [[spoiler: punished her charges by locking them in closets and wardrobes until one of her girls went insane and bit off her own tongue. She fled to Australia to escape her ruined reputation and built her school away from prying eyes, but her depraved nature only got worse. She modified her closet punishment by locking girls inside a coffin with carefully concealed air holes so they wouldn't suffocate. They'd just ''think'' they were going to.]]
