May as well, I guess. Ruby sure is.

[westedge]

Okay but that's more like a nightmare and so I'm not gonna count it.

[teenrebellion]

Fair.

I'm still wondering how we're even supposed to get there in the first place. Like... do we just go through our Shibuya to get to the erased Shibuya, or what?

[westedge]

...we should probably start back at Hachiko when we get that far. We kept saying the whole thing looked weird, right? Maybe that's the connecting point somehow.

[teenrebellion]

That's what I was thinking, yeah. The river's not that far from Hachiko in the real Shibuya, anyway, so it's just finding how to connect them that's the issue.

...Or maybe that's what the erased are doing. Nightingale said they were working, too, and they said themselves that the frequencies were merging already.

[westedge]

Wait really? Okay then that does make a little more sense. It's...possible that they're working on building us a path somehow. I remember a few of them mentioning the breakdown.

It's driving me crazy we lost contact with them all over again. But hopefully we'll see them sooner than later if that's true.

[teenrebellion]

It's not, but I guess it's just far enough that the district cuts off before we can reach it.

I trust them. I trust Setsu. If anyone can figure it out, they will. I guess we just... have to keep being patient.

[ which he hates, but that's been this whole game already. ]

[westedge]

[ ...deeply sighing. ]

We survived another day, and Setsu's counting on us just as much as we're counting on them. I don't like waiting around either, but regrouping for right now isn't a bad idea either. I think Kaveh bought more wine, so we can unwind a little and figure out where to go next.

[teenrebellion]

Yeah. It was kind of a weird day, too. I'm not saying resting up is a bad thing, though.

And it's the same as usual, anyway. Enjoy the time we have, in case we don't have any later. That's already been our norm for the past few weeks.

[westedge]

Hangman... [ is bad. ] You're not wrong though. I'm starting to get used to having to enjoy what we can. [ no regrets... ] We'll see how far that carries us this time.

[teenrebellion]

I never want to see another hangman puzzle in my life.

We shouldn't have to get used to it. [ ... ] But it's not a bad philosophy, even when things aren't terrible all the time.

[westedge]

Not a bad philosophy for now...we can always change to something else another time. That's the beauty of it.

[teenrebellion]

We'll worry about changing it after we all get out of here.

[westedge]

[ nod! ]
