Yeah. [...he frowns then.] You think people were spreading information about our deceased or even about Shima? I always thought we could share with three people a week, but maybe that changed.

Were people just not careful, you think? Is your leader okay?

...sharing other people's team without their knowledge counts too, I think, so if that person told three people but then some of those three people told other people...

[that's a lot of "people"]

They seemed like they were hurting, but when I asked what I could do to help, they just said something like tell people to stop breaking rules.

It spreads. Like a virus. [like what they're trying to avoid with the splintering. yikes!]

If that's all we can do for them right now, then we'll have to make sure people know. But I thought people knew it was three a week only.

I don't know if it's spreading, so much as it's... say you told me and two other people your team. If I told someone else who didn't already know it your team, that's four people who learned what your team was, right? Which is against the rules.

Something like that. I don't know.

Oh. I guess I didn't think about that...it doesn't really make sense to tell people other people's teams if they didn't ask you to. But if nobody else thought of it that way, you're right. That could get pretty messed up pretty fast.

They said the teams of people who have been removed from the realm count, too. So if people were talking about any of the previous victims... or even about Shima, that could have done it, too.

...if we can't even talk about that, then how do we find a solution? Shima was our best lead so far.

I think we just have to be careful about how quickly it spreads.

Hm...I don't know if this would work, but what if we found someone to designate as the info-spreader? One or two people that know certain pieces of information and spread it and know exactly where it's going. That way nobody's caught by surprise.

Well...except for the part where that leaves a lot of people out of the loop, too.

...I don't know. That could leave some people out of the loop, like you said. And it could also paint a really obvious target on the backs of people who are sharing the information.
