I don't know what's going on with the timeline, but Fortis is inviting the guys, except for Dimon and Niets, to get together for half an hour over a beer/cup of tea at Claire's place sometime on the weekend – to chat about how school is going, how the first week went, what the plans are, but everyone kind of knows what the main topic of discussion will be.

After the meeting, Michaella goes to Gideon, Futabe, Weilys, and Fortis. She asks them to sign the petition.

-- Hello. What can I do for you? -- Fortis asked more out of politeness, as it wasn't hard to guess the reason for the sudden visit. But when he was handed the petition at the door and told demandingly, "Sign it," that was unexpected. Fortis looked into Michaella's honest eyes, then at the paper – how many had signed, half of the girls' dormitory? A third? Two-thirds? Even if everyone signed, the young man wouldn't be able to shake the feeling of the pointlessness of what was happening. He looked at Michaella again and sighed heavily.
-- Listen... are you sure you really need this? Let's be honest: when we first saw this creep, I talked to our head of security, the general. He tried to convince the director not to let this freak in, but he couldn't. If she doesn't listen to the person responsible for security when it comes to security, she won't give a damn about our opinion, the students', let alone when, according to the law, he can't be kicked out anymore. As Mandragora told me, she even refused to warn us because she wanted him to be treated like everyone else – but how will she treat those who point out to her that no one wants to see this demonic face? She'll say that we're all jerks, that we have a biased attitude, and that this degenerate demon, to quote her exactly, is just an "innocent boy" who has suffered. This is a lost cause; we need to deal with him ourselves.
Fortis paused, waiting for his interlocutor to process what he had said.
-- But if you're not convinced to drop this... give me your petition, I'll sign it and advise others to do the same, just to cover for you. Because if only a couple of you show up, Starlight will make your life miserable, but if we all sign it at once, nothing will happen to us.
