I whipped up a special new coffee blend.

[this is so normally sized on dw but so giant in my gmail inbox. what is going on.]

The first one looks like a chain letter. The second almost sounds like something poetic.

[But she is looking at these two texts with interest.]

You might be correct. ... "You have forgotten?"

[silicone]

[ help i forgot to resize it rip your gmail inbox ]

Exactly... we think the usernames have something to do with the dead... though it's possible there are multiple usernames for one person. People have been getting texts randomly so... it's a good idea to keep an eye out. We'll keep collecting them.

[ at the last part. ]

I don't know... you have forgotten... it's different than the rest of the texts, and has no sender. Not sure if it's part of SOLOSTAGE's message or maybe part of a larger message... among the others.

[factoring]

You are close to some of the deceased. This would make logical sense. Perhaps they're trying to send less encrypted information and whatever frequency they're on is shifting it. Forcing them to come through this way.

[Anyway.]

We'll have to keep tabs on them.

[silicone]

If I get anymore I'll show you them... Wenzhou might have Fei Du's written in our GC somewhere.

[ he closes his phone. ]

It's hope enough to keep going, I think.

[factoring]

[She locks her own.]

Yes... I will choose to believe in that uncertain future.

[And as she says that a pig shows up.]

[silicone]

[ mother fuckin pigs but also eiden watches this and just... smiles a little. it's not particularly happy, but it's... well. ]

I believe in it because I believe in us. We're going to do this. We have to. Four people is too many. Two people... even one person... so we have to.

[ softer ]

What happened there...? You... was that...?

[ MIRA DID SHE DIE IM LOSING MY MIND RIGHT NOW THE ANIMATION WAS SO GOOD.... ]

[factoring]

[Ah.

Well.

He's actually the first one to watch that particular little clip.]

That was me, yes. [There's no wiggling out of that one, even with her bad habits.

As for if that was how she died... he'll have to ask.]

[silicone]

[ oh squeezes paw again... ]

I'm guessing that's how you died...?

[ may as well. kyoko's so straight forward, he knows he'd have to ask outright to be certain. ]

[factoring]

Hehe. Not at all.

[Actually, she seems very present at the moment, a small smile.]

[silicone]

What was it then? It looked incredible...

[factoring]

It's also me.

[ Transformers, digimon in disguise. ]

[silicone]

[ anime is and always will be a mistake. ]

Wait—WHAT!?

You're—!?

[ whoa............ he's kind of shocked, pls give him a minute. ]

You're not human? It doesn't change anything, I'm just curious!

[factoring]

Hehe.

I'm not entirely human. Though for the purposes of this game I am locked in this way.

[silicone]

I guess it would be the most convenient form.

I should still call you Kyoko... right?

[factoring]

I couldn't fit into most buildings like that.

I do like Kyoko.

[silicone]

Or the cute outfits. Do you like those too?

[factoring]

I don't mind playing dress up. Though I'm fondest of my regular outfit.

[silicone]

It's a good one. No complaints from me...

[ kicking himself a little back and forth on the swing. ]

I won't say anything to anyone if you'd like to keep it that way.

[factoring]

I would appreciate it. [It's just a very bad habit of hers to keep secrets.] Thank you.
