[d-] Dracula is in the [4] bathroom of the [-ai] high school where he is talking to 亻 Slenderman. Dracula, low on funds, begs 亻 Slenderman to 貸 loan him some 弋 arrows so he can kill the high school 貝 shellfish to have something to eat. 亻 Slenderman agrees and gives an 弋 arrow to Dracula who then runs into the bathroom stall to kill a 貝 shellfish that are almost always in the toilets there. When he comes out, some high school kids start beating up Dracula because the stuff they 貸 loaned him was never returned.
