At least I know... who to ask if I want answers. He's more honest with me than the rest.
[they're all very concerned over there and that's so valid because he's struggling but. if he's going to live then he's going to try to keep himself in the loop.]
If I asked directly, they would likely answer me... but five of them wrote to me and only one mentioned that at all. They might have coordinated, but... he sounded a little hesitant to be telling me.
[so he. has a bit of a suspicion they're trying to protect his feelings.]
well, his emotions are a mess, at that. they keep telling him to live, but is that what they want for him? everyone else to die around him until they hit that number? that's almost everyone. that's...]
[ she's just trying to power through his emotions here. ]
Dying is dying, but it's still—not as bad as it could be for them, you know? They're still somewhere. They can still contact us. It's not like it's permanent.
[ things she is constantly reminding herself, but that sounds pretty callous when she says it out loud like this. ]
...that doesn't mean that we'll... see them again.
[which is the part he hasn't wanted to confront too much, really. yes, they can communicate now, but where are they-? if they've died, then how will they ever...?]
A couple other people have mentioned their letters brought up rocks. Along with body parts which—maybe has something to do with the items we bring back on Thursdays? I don't know.

If it needs to be lower, that means we're on the right path. Which... Sucks, I know. But it's true.

[thinking about bringing dead people back is kind of a Thing with him specifically, the vibes becoming uneasy once more.]

There's no point worrying about it for now. We just do what we have to do.

In other news, did any of your letters mention rocks?
