Pat Consolacion is the school guidance counsellor who involves herself with the students to help them cope. She also helps uncover the mysteries of the student's death. Most students suspect it is the strict and borderline abusive Mother Alice. This is because she also threatened Pat's tenure in the school because of her continuous meddling with the case. But Pat's unusual talents lead her to know Eri, a former student who has been watching the whole school for years. Pat uncovers the secret of the school and the monster that it nurtured for the past century. [10] [11] [12] [13]
