After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they're for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees the girl he thought he knew...

What is a debate?
A debate is a structured discussion where two or more participants argue for or against a specific topic or issue. The goal is to present clear, persuasive arguments supported by evidence and reasoning. Debates often involve teams or individuals defending opposing viewpoints, with rules to guide the process of presenting and rebutting arguments.

Een debat is een gestructureerde discussie waarin twee partijen tegenovergestelde standpunten verdedigen over een bepaald onderwerp, met als doel het overtuigen van het publiek of de jury met argumenten en tegenargumenten.
