3 meals a day is completely unnecessary, and just eating one large meal works just as well. Saves time, too.

Kid drank thallium rat poison, in an attempt to commit suicide. Thing is, thallium doesn't kill you, it just makes you vomit a LOT. So they had to evacuate the classroom because there was a bunch of thallium and vomit everywhere.

Space, because I enjoy chaos.

Oh, then you're about to unlock phase 1, right? I'd say that's pretty much the biggest wall in the game. There are others, but the path to unlocking phase 1 is generally the biggest slog.
How far in are you? If you haven't started unlocking the MAM tree, I'd start there.
