[ hello we are Somewhere ]

Find out anything since yesterday? Because Iiii didn't.

[the void welcomes us]

Just that we're even more stuck here than I expected.

[ it sure does buddy ]

It's weird, right? Like... It's not like we're on an island. But we can't just leave. [ she sighs. ] I just hate being trapped like this.

It's suffocating.

[chews on her lip]

The city seems big enough, but it's more the principle of the thing than anything else. That whoever's orchestrating this decided it was fine to lock us in like this.

Hopefully the only reason is so we can—I don't know. Stick together for the tasks or whatever?

I think they've got a little more in mind than us sticking together.

Well, yeah, but...

Like what?

Did you read the rulebook yet?

... Sure. But a lot of it is too vague to really know what they're getting at.

Well, erased certainly doesn't sound great.

[ hrm. ]

No it does not.

[pauses for a moment, before]

—Sorry. I'm probably stressing you out more.

No, don't worry about it. It's like... It's not like I want to just ignore that part.

But maybe it means something less ominous than it sounds. Orrr maybe there's a way out. Something. I don't want to just resign myself to it like—like it's set in stone.

Yeah... That's true. There's no saying it's going to be the worst option.

[she still thinks it's going to be the worst option, but that's a personal problem, so. after a moment:]

Still - make sure to be careful, alright?

Sure. One day at a time.

And as far as days go, the actual events of yesterday weren't that bad! [ sure the text was ominous but nothing bad physically happened! ]
