Eddie had finally found a way in.
It took him a few weeks of exploring this other world of self-told lies and fantasies built on desires, but he crawled his way through vents and passages until he found the treasure room. In there, he found nothing but a glowing nebulous, not the treasure that he had expected to see. So, the next day, he left a message on the offending teacher's computer. It simply said "You are guilty of crimes of abuse against children. We will steal your heart and you will confess your crimes with your own mouth." It was dramatic, but hopefully enough to bring shape to what Harold desired. Was it old glory? Was it twisted lust? Was it rage? Eddie would find it soon enough and take it from him.
He texted Stephanie and Cat that afternoon, telling them to meet him at Loot after it closed. He told Cat to bring her lockpicking kit and Stephanie to bring a compact first aid in case they got in trouble. There wasn't mention of any outfits or extra things to bring because it wasn't necessary. This cognitive world, a funhouse mirror of a man's desires? It would reveal their true forms. Again, Eddie was feeling dramatic.
Over by the Pac-Man machine, Eddie was kneeling next to it. The cabinet was open and his arms were in the guts and wires of the thing as he tried to fix a weird glitch where Pac-Man went nomming backwards. Working with the machine was the best way for him to stay focused before a big mission. Both women would have known that about him.
