Cat will be upset that she accidentally outed a friend, even if the magical stuff she learned was really useful. Also something about contacting her family that she doesn't remember yet.

What Cat Learned:

  • Well, the Yith went home. This is clearly the actual Professor Trumbull, who is along for Weird Stuff.
  • Nyarlathotep — some kind of knowledge god, that Aphra considers part of her pantheon and is also acknowledged by the Yith.
  • The Outer Ones, which are aliens that live on Earth, but are not known to most humans of the air

After wandering the slushy maze of the grounds, I suspected Skinner and sent us to Trumbull, in part, due to her inaccessibility. )

What Cat Learned
Mostly context. She can place the memory as her first meeting with the Yith, before she knew her nature, so Trumbull makes a lot more sense here than she did when Aphra met her. (Aphra had assumed that it was mostly the stubbornness that carries a women through miles of bullshit misogyny.)
Cat already knew she was from Innsmouth and that it was destroyed, but now she has a date. Folks from 20th century Earth or later might be able to estimate that this memory takes place in the late 1940s, if 1928 was in the past, and the student is clearly a veteran.
Cat won’t be aware that in most places, Misktatonic University is fictional.
