[Mina and Orlando find the ruins of the "Invisible College"]

Orlando:
Sh*t. This is the worst yet. He must have calmed down by the time he reached King's Cross.

Mina:
That's a frightening thought.

Orlando:
Yeah. [they climb through the front doorway] I should have brought my sword...

Mina:
I- I don't know. I think this happened some years ago. Look at the moss growing everywhere.

Orlando:
Hmm... So why hasn't the Antichrist ended the world yet?

Mina:
P-perhaps he didn't want to be the Antichrist. Perhaps this was his reaction.

[They step into a hall of broken stairways, littered with corpses]

Orlando:
Yeah. Yeah, you could be right. I don't suppose anybody wants to be the Antichrist, do they?

Mina:
I suppose not. [inspects the broken staircases] This architecture must have moved about, once...

Orlando:
And these people... Mina, this is like one of those American High School massacres...

[Flashback]

[The College is shown under attack as an unseen boy kills a blond-haired boy in front of a redhead boy and a brunette girl]

Redhead Boy:
[frightened] Please. Please don't. W-We're your friends...

Brunette Girl:
[crying] I want my mum. I want my mum. I want...

[Present]

Mina:
[shocked] Th-there have been massacres in schools?

Orlando:
Oh... Sorry. I forgot. You've been in hospital... Yeah, there's been a few. Shootings, though - not magic.

[Flashback]

Angry Teacher:
[to the boy] ...on then! Go on then, you little sh*t! You've always been a little sh*t! You...

[Present]

Mina:
Then maybe this magical landscape mirrors the real world. Perhaps that's why it's so awful.

Orlando:
[sadly] Yes. And it was meant to be so marvellous...

[Flashback]

[The boy holds his wand to the temple of an elderly woman]]

Older Female Teacher:
...No. Oh, no. Oh no, no, no, no, no...

[Present]

Orlando:
Of course, it could be the other way round, couldn't it? If our magical landscape, our art and fairytales and fictions... If that goes bad, maybe the material world follows suit. I don't know. I- I'm not sure what I'm trying to say...

Mina:
[gazes in horror at a bisected corpse] Oh, god. Look at this poor man. He's in two halves. I- I expect he was a caretaker or something...

[Flashback]

Elderly Teacher:
[held at wandpoint] ...right! All right, I- I admit it. A-all the exploits were arranged, to hide what we were preparing you for. H-he compelled us! Please, I...

[Present]

Orlando:
[staring at the remains of the Records Office] Hmm... Well, it looks like he certainly gave this place a good seeing to.

Mina:
Yes, it does.
