[. . .



















When everyone wakes up as the new week dawns, they will be in for a nasty surprise. After all, IT does not forget-and IT does not forgive.

There were nine strangers in this place-but six of them are suddenly missing from their homes.]

N-no, it's fine. [He can keep smiling! He just got overwhelmed. Don't mind the sniffle, he's dry again now.]

...How much does he forget?

[mermaidkin]

...let me put it this way. I think he really didn't understand before getting directly ordered, that Tuesday was a day to be afraid of.

[He waves his fork, tut-tut.]

To be fair, the Plane had a completely different schedule, so this is stuff he'd only learn from our observation reports in the first place.

[poorlovefool]

Well....I'm definitely still scared of motives. If that's all it takes...

[gonna dig into the gray mush again, waiting to see what he's getting at.]

[mermaidkin]

You'd be surprised. A lot of Strangers have expressed the opinion that all the motives we offer are abysmal and prove we're out of touch.

[Yet they were all acted about so who wins.]

...but of course, you don't blindly live in fear of every possible outcome either...

[Rallying from the deep hole that sent him into, his eyes gleam faux-guilelessly]

Why do you think "help will come"? Did someone tell you that? The self-proclaimed Rachel did that exact thing at the conclusion of the Plane ordeal, so you can understand our curiosity about the particular conditions.

[poorlovefool]

No one ever listens when I tell them I could just do it myself, either...

[it's tough being a god among men!!! but hm, yikes, that is a point isn't it. Eric looks reluctant to answer, but he already knows because Eric told Link, so there's not much point in dancing around it.]

I couldn't tell you the specifics even if I knew them, you know? But, yes, someone in our group was told that.... and I've had a hunch it was coming ever since the second week. Something about a cat...

[he definitely mutters that last bit since it's a bit inexplicable]

Besides, i-it doesn't make sense for it to be like with Rachel. We're already in IT's territory. Doesn't get much worse than that.

[there's a bit of a pause.]

And why'd you eavesdrop so much on me and Link, anyway? That can't have been part of your job. He should... file his own paperwork about what we talked about.
