[ this poor squirrel chitters again, but chitters in an echoing tone after. ]
You seem to forget logic comes to a halt, but also? This is totally your fault. [ he's still laughing because it is. weird. also he's stressed and annoyed that he's cursed, but it's fine. ]
Probably be grateful we haven't even seen any pigeons in case an all-out war broke out. Sounds like things are still tense there even in times of peace.
No, okay, I know that sounded kind of out of left field but there was a point to that? Shu and I were talking about how we can be on one plane but everything else and other people are on another. And how, like, even the shadow people we keep seeing somehow weren't involved in any of what happened over the weekend. Like they couldn't see us in McDonald's for those nine hours, or what happened with the public erasure.
[ hum. she nods. ] I've been thinking of it like frequencies.
Like... When you get close to one channel and you can kind of hear another one on top of it, really quiet and staticky. The—the overlay. Or whatever. That's the shadow people.
Yeah, he actually told me he talked to you. [ which is why jonas kind of starting theorizing with him. ] If we think of it like that, how do we merge them together?
Yep. Shame on you for abandoning the one who got you through so many long nights. [ no. ] It's something to think about but in terms of the important things it's sort of like...somewhere between the middle and the lower-middle, maybe.

What—hey, you're the one that actually did it!
no subject
Maybe that's true, but you suggested it. Sooo the blame's not on me, so quit.
no subject
Wonder what he's saying.
no subject
Uh...maybe he's asking for water in a cup? I don't know, Alex, just make it up.
[ this is such a good distraction. ]

[ ok ]

[ oh. wait. he just sags back against the tree trunk. ]
Finally.

They're at war with the pigeons. But things have been peaceful, so they're probably on a shaky truce right now.
no subject
Sorry, man. It's gonna be at least three hours.

[ poor squirrel... he'll be mocked by his squirrel friends. ]
no subject
[ alas, poor squirrel... ]

The biggest question is what will you do now that you have this important knowledge?

That's why they're at war—they both have to fight over this land because they can't get to the other district. [ a pause. ] I made that up. But maybe.
no subject
You think they can cross barriers when we can't? Not like their souls were messed with or whatever.

Never thought I'd hear you talk about abandoning anything. [ a joke. ] But fair enough. It probably doesn't matter that much right now anyway.
no subject
... It's something to think about, though.
