[retellers]

I know. And I know that perhaps, it is best not to trust people.

[ ... ]

But I don't wish for everyone to be--more fragmented than they already are. Though I hope the participants can find solace among each other's support, things are... currently tense between the Leaders.

[recrowns]

Are they? How do you mean?

[retellers]

Just as you wonder if we're behind what's happened, we also cannot dismiss the possibility that any of us may have influenced it.

[recrowns]

[ . . . hm.]

Was Virid on Wolf's team? Is that why they're in the lead? Because in a way, he collected nova, even if it was at the cost of someone else's life?

[retellers]

We don't know. It could be, but it might also not be.

[recrowns]

Would Wolf be able to volunteer that information if they wanted to, now that Virid has been removed from the Realm?

Ah - which I would like to ask more about as well.

[retellers]

I don't think so... but you can try asking them.

[ they tilt their head, waiting. ]

[recrowns]

Mm, then I will.

[might as well collect all the information that he can]

Do you have any more information about this 'removal' - what happens to them, where do they go? Some people are worried that we will forget them entirely come tomorrow.

[retellers]

[ goat is quiet for a while, as if thinking.

... ]

[recrowns]

[soo-won eats another rice cracker]

[retellers]

[ thinking even harder... ]

[recrowns]

[humming thoughtfully to himself]

And maybe some tea...

[retellers]

[ ...

...

........... ]

I'm trying to think of a way to answer this that wouldn't have consequences, but I am failing. [ a pause. ] But your memories of them should be fine. That is, no less likely to disappear than any other memory, at least.

[recrowns]

[hm]

Consequences?

For who? You? Or myself?

[retellers]

[ i accidentally stopped giving you access so i sure hope that didn't screw anything up, gomen dana ]

For everyone.

[recrowns]

[SDLFKJSDFLKJSDF THIS IS SO FUNNY

i didn't get this notif but it's okay i found it]

Ah, fair enough.

Then - would you say that those who were 'removed' are decidedly dead and unable to be contacted?

[maybe if it's simpler and in a yes/no format it'll be easier to answer]

[retellers]

Their souls have passed, Soo-won. You should not expect to see them.

[recrowns]

Hm.... alright.

[he'll accept this for the time being]

How is your connection with the Realm faring? Better?

[retellers]

[ hm... ]

Things are still... unstable. Better than they were yesterday, though. I don't know if I would say our connection to the Realm has changed, but that, we can feel.

[recrowns]

Hmm...

So the spilling of blood has created an instability that hasn't settled down yet? Even though more blood has been spilled at the Realm's direction?

[retellers]

Possibly. Or something else went wrong on Thursday night that we aren't yet aware of, given that we don't know the direct details of what happened then.

[recrowns]

You were all incapacitated, yes?

[from what he heard]

Could you tell me what you experienced exactly?

[retellers]

Yes. Like you, we were all trapped where we were, and we couldn't leave. It was very strange. Then, after an hour, we fell unconscious.

[recrowns]

And you were all here... a week longer than us, yes? That didn't happen on the previous Thursday?

[retellers]

[ they shake their head. ]

Nothing like that occurred before. I don't normally require sleep either, so it was rather unexpected.
