Won's said... "Consciousness does persist after removal. The pathway to us is perilous and difficult for the Leaders to traverse. There is a way to..." and Ru said there was a ton of stuff in the middle they couldn't figure out, and then, "Speak with Fox if you haven’t already."
Izumo's was like... "Hi hi surprise!! Are you somewhere comfy? Good! Gotta tell you a story: When two people die together, one is swallowed up, while the other is spat out with..." thinking about it, it might've said "theirs removed. Hope Ruler got hers! She'll see that you all get out okay. Evening calm, Izumo. It'll be fine. Talk to Sora."
And mine said...well, I thought about it more and read it a bunch yesterday. So I think it says..."Hiya, hello. Expected two but we got three people this week? Yikes! Have you decided where to go from here? Looks like each of you are doing your part and learned to teamup. That must be tough! I'd kill to be there with you." ...there's a word I can't figure out, and then "lively. Go out there and save the world hero, and work until you're dead tired! Protect the Goats. Be safe."
The words two, from, must, kill, save, the, and dead are capitalized. And if we assume that each team and to are also capitalized there's a secret message.
Okay some of those made no sense. [ what the fuck are the dead on. but she leans back so she is still holding sora's hands even if they are no longer hugging so they can have. a conversation. she is obviously concentrating on the last part: ] ... I heard about that one. You talked about it with Lup. Two from each team must kill.
... What if it's true? What if that's the only way to save Yoshizawa?
Then we have a problem, because what two on our team would actually kill? And who would they kill? There has to be another way, I don't want to believe that's really it.
[ "who would kill" hc is right there. but good because it's always. handholding is always. ]
I'd be okay with them killing Yoshizawa's killer. [ it's bitter and muttered, but she shakes her head ] No. I don't want any of us to kill either, but what if it is the only way? We've got to at least consider it.
Okay, yeah, but we don't even know who that is yet so how are we supposed to do that? [also stop it he is turning a blind eye to hc. daddy swan can do whatever he wants.]
...there's a lot we need to consider now. It doesn't have to be today, but there are things I need to find out from other people and try to understand so we can move forward.
Maybe we just need to figure out that stupid puzzle.
[ swan did not even know what a hangman was until today. but she squeezes sora's hand a little and ignores that everyone on this team would murder sora please ]
I'm not as good with puzzles like that as I am with other stuff. Do we even know where it came from?
[that said. hm...] The biggest questions right now are if splintering is truly happening, and maybe who started telling us that's what happened. None of us have any proof. Just word from someone else.
Maybe. I know Homura said she got a message from somebody a few weeks back asking her to pick between three options and then two of them him Claude and Izumo. Shima had to pick two names from a list, too. So somebody has a special job doing that sort of thing, I think.
[he knows about another one on saturday but he'll have to tell swan later oopsies, timelines.]
...I heard about it from Hilda, who probably heard it from Claude, who probably heard it from Soo-Won who probably heard it from Goat. If I had to guess. But I can't be sure. That doesn't sound like something Goat would do, does it?
No. I don't think Won would've said it if he didn't want that specific information getting out. Hilda didn't want to tell me who she heard it from either, and Claude was doing the thing where he said he knew stuff but couldn't tell me.
[a beat.] Also? Won killed Sharon. And I know his Leader's Goat for sure, so it's possible. I can't be sure though.
Yeah, I heard. But that's what I mean! He said it was self-defense, right? So it wasn't about the splintering. But the rumors of that started with Cater, didn't they?
Yeah, but I'm not sure who killed Cater. Just that she was on Wolf's team. So okay. So okay. We might know it wasn't Goat, we know it wasn't you, it definitely hasn't been Rabbit because Clementine hasn't told me she's seen the icon flash on her PHS. That leaves...Fox and Tiger?
I know a few Foxes, but I still haven't found any Tigers. But I guess I'm also not asking as many people about their teams as I should be. Just to be careful. I'll see if I can find out anything though.
...that's if the icons were even flashing during that week.
Let's go with that theory being right, since it's happened a few times. But maybe you should try asking to see if anyone on Fox remembers it flashing first and then we worry about Tiger.
Yeah, but I can come pick him up on Monday or something. [stop extending the days you dumbass.] Besides, I'm worried Alphonse's armor-cats might escape and try to eat him.
[he is not. but it's a convenient excuse to let swan keep him for a few days.]
... Okay. I'll take care of him for you for a bit. [ she can see what he's doing but she's touched. so. ] How does he still have so many cats in him all the time?

[ they sound unsure. but. hrm. yes. ]
It started being talked about around the second or third week, right? So they didn't hear it from Virid.
