That doesn't matter this week, because no one's PHS icon flashed. So either you remembered what happened to His Majesty Il a week ago and you neglected to confront me about the matter, or something returned the memory for you - such as taking a life.
[and so.
which is it?
but there is something - when she says that she can't trust him with his safety, that something flashes briefly in his eyes.]
.... mm.
[he can let her believe that.]
Then.... we'll figure out how to return us both home.
I haven't heard of that. All I know is people said the icon blinks when someone from that team kills, so until you said no one's blinked - I thought that just meant no one from my team killed Yoshizawa.
No, I believe it's a defensive measure to protect Emet-Selch's team, given that he was revealed to be a killer and lived. Thus, no one's team icon has blinked and we have to determine the truth in less straightforward ways.
It may remain that someone on Wolf's team killed Yoshizawa - depending on whether Wolf seemed to get any new information pertaining to the Realm this week. It's likely he got memories regardless.
It's that information about the Realm that I seek, and I've yet to find it.
[too bad ogi's not here for them to bribe for info.]
If he has, he hasn't told me about it yet, but I bother him pretty regularly, so he usually tells me a little bit just to get me to shut up and leave him alone for awhile.
Then if you could continue to do so, that would be easiest. The Leaders aren't obligated to tell the truth - but at least currently I believe that Swan and Goat haven't gotten anything either. Fox is harder to get information from, I'm waiting for a contact to tell me if they've heard otherwise from Rabbit, and I intend to meet with Tiger myself.
But the pieces of information we get each week are rather vital...
Though I'd heard that you got a message from the departed last week - was it not scrambled at all? No letters were missing?
There were letters missing, but it was pretty easy to figure out what they were from context. I was asked to remind people to stop sharing their teams because it was making the Realm unstable.
[since apparently the reminder from the leaders hadn't done the trick!]
Ah, I see. So all messages will be coming in with missing letters then, even if we have the app. I haven't gotten any this week - but I anticipate more coming, especially since more teams are getting the app since we've passed the threshold.
Yours was from Cater, correct? Do you know if she sent one to anyone else?
obviously figured it out. in retrospect, if anyone could, it's him - he knows her handwriting. maybe she should have asked her leader to write it.]
That would make sense. If it's going through PHSes... [but that makes her hum.] I wonder if that's why we weren't able to use the ones that belonged to the dead people. If it's like the rooms at the inn.
[she should probably elaborate on that. she realizes so, and continues - ]
Maybe they have something like the PHSes wherever they are, and it's linked to... them, or to their nova, or something. Since they weren't here anymore, their PHS on our side stopped working, but they have something they can use to communicate with us on their side.
No. I just corrected her that it was probably a participant, rather than someone else.
[he tilts his head]
Did you ask for someone's PHS even though they've already been removed?
But yes, I believe that's correct. They have some way to reach us, but only the messages make it rather than anything else. Otherwise, where they are is dangerous for even Leaders to reach, because the Leaders' memories are put at risk on the journey there.
So this is likely the most communication we'll have with them.
No, I just noticed we weren't able to get them to work at the trials and wondered if it was because they weren't here anymore...
[and she's been wondering about that! but unfortunately britt has been too dead to find the time to ask she just hasn't had a good chance to ask around.]
...mm. I'd like to try and go find them [orpheus them out of the afterlife!!] but if it's dangerous even for the Leaders, I'd probably get yelled at for even suggesting it, wouldn't I?
Ah.... [he tilts his head at that, thoughtful] Well, I can look into it, if you're curious. If both of us ask, we might be able to get more answers.
[so he doesn't mind adding it onto his list of things to look into
as for the rest:]
... while I think it'd be a bit far to suggest you'd get yelled at.... [he's never yelled at yona in his life? who is yelling at yona.] I don't think that's necessarily the method we should use.
Supposedly there is a way to bring them all back - but it comes at a price. And so... what we need to look for is if there are alternatives to that method, or what the price may be.
seriously, she's got more people here who are worried about her safety than she ever expected. it's a little baffling, given they don't even have the "you're a princess, so we have to!" to explain it.]
I agree that finding a way to get everyone back is important. So, the more we know about that, the better. If you find anything else out about that, I'd appreciate it if you shared it with me.
In general... this week, I'm asking after some information that should be received by the Leaders. But given that no one's PHS icon blinked, that's harder to accomplish. So if you learn anything new in general, I'd appreciate it if you could pass it on.
And if by any chance Yoshizawa's murderer has admitted it to anyone... they should've been able to do so starting Sunday.
[IT'S HARD NOT TO GET MAD WHEN SHE THINKS OF YOSHIZAWA'S KILLER THOUGH so whoever it is will probably not admit it to her given she, uh, looked as though she wanted to midtrial murder on saturday.]

I'm on Wolf's team, and if you think any of us killed Yoshizawa, you're wrong. The icon on our PHS didn't flash after the removal.
[so.
there's that.]
I trust that your priority is to get us home. I may not be able to trust you with my safety once we're there, but I can trust in that much, at least.
We'll work out the rest when we get back.

I remembered what happened to my father on Sunday, but I haven't taken any lives since we've been here... except Virid's.
[she crosses her arms]
I didn't remember anything after that day, but I've remembered other things twice since then.
no subject
Then all that means is that a second threshold to recover memories exists. I'll verify that.
[but the rest of it.... hm.]
Unless you know of a team's icon that blinked? I don't need to know who told you - only which team.

Nobody really wrote anything important for me to pass on in response to those signs, either. Mainly, it was people wishing the dead well.
no subject
[so he heard about her multitude of messages]
I currently believe that the departed can send about two messages each week - the same as we can. So we'll see when they come, and in what format.
[ . . . ]
Then - I'll be relying on you, in trying to determine how we ought to proceed.
[because at least in terms of how to best help everyone here - they can agree on that as a common goal.
it's just their interpersonal relationship that's a bit more complicated]
