[ on a notepad, with a pen, she writes:

H (a scribble to indicate something had been blocked out)

Oh, shit, you're gonna kill me.

I'm sorry. (more scribbles) ok?

And stay alive. Please.

(more scribbles) ]

It was the same handwriting as on the one I received.

[ he writes this down ]

Huh.

These two were more serious in tone.

They aren't using the staff names.

[ she nods. ]

It makes me wonder if there's more significance because certain things were censored out like how letters from Campsco were.

Probably...

Do any of the staff seem particularly religious or spiritual to you?

I haven't spoken to all of them to know, and it's not a question I think to ask.

[ religion is low on her priority. ]

But none of them seem quite like that to me.

[ she glances over to wherever dimitri and sylvain are since faerghus is a religious country. ]

[ he also looks to where they are

and to mikazuki and futaba

anyone? anyone??? ]

Dear Gemini is not particularly so, from what I have gathered. Dear Cetus is furthest from it.

Dear Orion... [a beat] There is some affiliation with deities and higher powers, but the exact details are unclear to me.

[ he nods ]

Okay, good to know.

And what are your thoughts on the matter, my dear?

For that one, I am not really sure yet.

It does feel as though we are being handed many a puzzle piece without much direction on what the resulting image ought look like.

Is this what it's always like...?

Ha ha ha.

Think of how people felt reading your cut off messages.

Ha ha ha.

Those made perfect sense.

[mumbles thoughtfully]

Campsco....

Campsco!

[ she can't make any costco jokes because she's not modern enough. ): ]

Hmm... I wonder what it is that we're meant to do with these notes.

[they're so personal.... it almost makes him a little sad]

It does feel a little like an invasion of privacy.

[ but there's nothing she can do about this now. ]

Did we ever narrow down whose handwriting we thought it could be?

[he shakes his head]

Not from what I know... though Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd suggests that one is certainly Aquarius.

I wonder if we might be able to compare the original journal gathered by Sheila against what you have here.

The one Futaba-chan has mentions Aquarius, but I'll ask Sheila-san, now that she's still with us.

That's two saved now, isn't it?

[he nods]

Indeed.

... I would not be surprised if it was two three-ticket items used from the store, and we should not expect to count upon it again.

[ she smiles. ]

It is still two more than I've experienced before, so I am glad for it to have happened at all.

[ even if it also pains her a little because rupert was one of her favorites. ]

... then let us count our blessings for what they are.

[he only hopes it is not the same as the village, where all were required to meet their end regardless]
