Things have proceeded well so far. The participants have grown adjusted to being in an unfamiliar world and, for the most part, get along. Nova accumulation has been steady.
█████████████ame to speak with me today. I removed my mask for the first time, which is perhaps a breach of protocol, but there have yet to be any consequences. It is, if nothing else, a relief to not be restricted by it. Furthermore, it sounds as though we—and, by association, ██████████ as well—may be from the same country, as blank as my memory of it is.
I look forward to seeing everyone's continued efforts. As much as all this is beyond my imagination, it is my pleasure to watch everyone's journey.
████████ had █████████ killed, using one of h███te███members and h██ authority as Leader. It's difficult to gauge whether it was from a belief th███████████betrayed us or if it was merely revenge. One could arg█e that, at this point, ██e two motives are intertwined.
This will undoubtedly mark a turni█g point for the competition. Some are hoping ████ if th█ Leader in question was responsible for what's siphoning ██e nova, then their death will cause it to manifest, allowing us to stop it. I█████████th███h. There is an████e█ ███lan███on, but no way of c█████ming it.
There may no longer be a peaceful resolution to this conflict. Is killing each other until we find the root the only means left to us now?
█████████ was murdered. Now, ██████████ is the only remaining member of my team. Logically, it is likely a coincidence, and yet I cannot help but feel that I have failed them. Although they may still be present in the other realm, death is still not to be taken lightly, especially when there is no guarantee we'll be able to bring them back.
I don't care about winning this competition. With all the misery that hangs over everyone's heads, it is little more than a farce by this point, regardless of who the victor is. However, I have to do all I can to protect █████████. That is my duty as ███ Leader.
Though half of the teams are saved, they chose not to accept this result. They will not settle for anything less than a full revival for every participant, even those on other teams. Therefore, they have requested that we repeat another cycle. Their request has been acknowledged, although we have been warned that this will be our last chance.
While the feeling is bittersweet, it is heartwarming nevertheless to witness everyone's kindness and strength.
This will be the final report I write, before we start over once more. Should this report somehow survive and be found, it is my hope that it will give the reader some reassurance. After so many cycles of failure, it is my belief that this time—in the future of the current "us"—you can succeed.
To the participants: you will have to kill, if you haven't already. You cannot afford not to.
To the Leaders: you will have no choice but to be part of the deception, as doing anything else will condemn everyone. Anything you might suspect to be a lie, you cannot say. By the time you see this, I hope you have already complied with that decree.
Even so, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. No matter the grief or conflict that may exist in your round, everyone vowed to do all they can. Persevere, and everyone can be saved.
