ⓘ About Clare Beams

Eliza’s ailment has everyone puzzled until other girls start to show the same symptoms. The signs begin with a rash and progress to headaches, fits, and night wanderings. Soon, Caroline, the only teacher in the institution, begin to show the same signs. However, she tries to hide her symptoms. The only thing she cannot hide is the fact that the girls are getting worse by the day, and a solution is needed ASAP. Could this be a case of hysteria as diagnosed, or is there more to this ailment? If it is indeed hysteria, why is Caroline also showing symptoms similar to those seen in the girls? The administration turns to a physician known for his sinister ways and dubious methods. It is only Caroline who can speak for the students.
