Damian did not know much about Adrian Kuning, but what he did know was this: he was a new student, he wasn't very friendly at the best of times (mostly being awkward and withdrawn), and he had taken an immediate interest in Anya, only to be quickly rebuffed. Since then, he had barely interacted with the rest of the class at all.

He also happened to know that Adrian did not live in the dorms with them, and commuted from somewhere every morning by private chauffeur. Now that Damian had the file containing Adrian 's address, he felt that he could actually start making progress on finding Anya.

History was his favourite subject, but it was also his last class of the day - which, crucially, he did not share with Adrian. If he was too slow in finding Adrian after class, then the opportunity to question him might disappear too quickly.
