They sit and tap their fingertips together, plotting, praying he chokes on his food or falls to his death. Or sneaking out of this cold place. Wasn’t Hell supposed to be hot? A blaze? A humongous fire pit? It is underground, though. That and the teacher are the only thing that make it qualified for anything close to Hell.
