Of course not. If Ruby put them there herself she likely has a few traps or something set up or something that'll stop us from immediately removing it.

[camena]

It would be nice if it was as easy as just fixing some tape players...

[westedge]

I thought of those, too, when Nightingale was talking about jumping to points in time. Kinda wish it was that simple myself. But at least we've got a head start on experiencing time loops?

[camena]

I hope it's not too weird. Like when we kept... skipping things and blacking out.

[ this did not happen for him. she doesn't know. it's fine. ]

[westedge]

...um? [ what the fuck is she talking about. ] Are you...talking about when you'd just totally zone out on me?

[camena]

No, when we'd like... Go somewhere and then suddenly be somewhere else. Like getting slingshot back and forth around the island.

[westedge]

...I feel like I'm blanking on this because I don't totally remember that? Except for that first time in the cave.

[camena]

It happened like a million times. At Fort Milner? And in the woods?

[westedge]

[ . . . ]

Is this like...is this a different loop thing again? I have no idea what you're talking about, like, at all.

[camena]

Uggghhhh, I hate that.

[westedge]

It's the only thing I can think of if you're once again remembering something differently.

[camena]

But we remember the ferry the same.

[ which is later. so it's like. definitely part of the loop. so... oof. ]

[westedge]

Yeah. So...whatever that means now.

[camena]

I guess we'll, uh... find out soon?

[westedge]

[ just...frowning a little. ]

Yeah. I guess we will.

[camena]

[ hrm. ]

Bigger things to stress about right now.

[westedge]

I know. I know, trust me. We've got a whole mess on our hands that's pretty important to figure out.

[camena]

At least it's like—we messed up, and it's still not over. So that's promising.

[westedge]

I do feel a little optimistic about the part where we get a redo. But if we fuck up the redo, then...you know. [ sigh. ] So we don't fuck up.

[camena]

The letter mentions not to loop for centuries. Which should be easier if we're keeping our memories across loops...?

[westedge]

I do like the idea of keeping our memories. Makes everything a lot easier. Do we even know anybody who's looped for centuries?

[camena]

Me too. But, uhh, no idea. I don't know how long Setsu had been... Actually, I don't even know how long I have been.

[westedge]

I really don't want to think about you or Setsu being trapped for that long, even though I can absolutely believe it by now.

[camena]

... I think, as like a reward for going through all of this mess, Setsu should get a prize. Like that laaast little bit of data or whatever.

[westedge]

Uh huh. Have you told them about this genius idea of yours?
