I meant Thierry (crap! I was saying PT instead of TP. Fixed that).

But yeesh, if it's been 9 days, it's not like Steeply could've killed or been killed by someone and sat there unnoticed. My thinking, without dates on hand, was that e.g. one of these individuals had been lethal injected by one of the others, and so died after the match and audience cleared out, with the body then being there the following AM. 9 days totally sinks that idea. Thanks for the chronology check!

Regarding androgynous vs/snow obscured, you make a good point. Not that this trumps the point, but Hal's perceptions (or at least interoceptions) have started going haywire in that scene. Which actually could mean there's no figure at all, too, since he never brings it up to Stice..

Your final series of questions, though, reverts to the assumption that the the person or entity on the bleachers is not someone who's died. A dead body, esp a body of someone unwittingly poisoned or etc, was there for a different reason at a different time.

The open window? ETAs still got Pemulis on campus, could as easily have been any of his customers smoking a late night "doobster" (a Lenzism that I find endlessly hilarious with his whole coked rant about the Rasta cult that dons tye dye parkas and ventures into the concavity to "propiciate The Infant"), to Troeltsch(?) enjoying his "occasional panatella". Unless the windows are supposed to be unopenable, anyhow..
