I'm... asking you this in confidence. I only plan on telling you and a couple others, because it's... it's important. Chiron-sensei and Chi-- Xie Lian. And... and Claude. [There's a twinge of something pained across her expression at that, but she moves on.]
I need you to give me your word that this stays between us unless you absolutely need to say something, Won-san. As a task. I think... even more people might die otherwise.
Chijin already knows - he tried but couldn't read it off my PHS when I showed it to him. I... I can read out what I can, but there's a lot blocked out.
I have - some people brought a few things to me. It stands to reason that a few of the removed would be able to send messages, no? It's a bit surprising since I was told not to expect to hear from them... but it's a pleasant surprise regardless.
Though I think many are like you in the sense that they're opting not to disclose it publicly, just in case.
[but huh.]
If it helps - try transcribing the message onto paper? What do you see?
no we can probably yoink some in a second here we might need it]
I'll do as best as I can.
[thank god i had this already typed up or i would die]
"Sorry I can't be there for you. Each team must ki--" something "to" something, there's not a whole word in either spot. Just a couple letters in a big string of black.
[...Her voice audibly tightens for the next part.]
Um. Some of the letters in this second part are missing, but I... I know what they are.
"How far are you willing to go, while... while ignoring the feelings of others? Think carefully on what's most imporant to you, and whether it's worth it."
[Another beat.]
"Don't trust Hilda nor Vezda. Protect the..." the something. It ends in an S but it's not long enough to be "Leaders."
...There was a signature, too, but it blocked itself out. It starts with an S and has an A near the middle. That's why I think it was Schwann. The boxes match.
No... someone else received a different message - and it was implied that it also contained a message regarding protecting what they thought to say Goats, based on the letters revealed. While yours does leave room for more interpretation, it does seem like there might be a trend.
Uh... I, um... I think saying too much might still be a little dangerous, Won-san. [AS MUCH AS SHE WANTS TO THEORIZE...
she has to actively think about her word choice here djdbsjshsbdhdjd]
...I guess it depends who sent the other one.
Maybe they're on the team or have someone they care about on the team, or they think a Leader needs to be protected for some reason... but we can't known for sure.
.... hmmmm, I don't know. But I thought that I would at least see if there's a trend among the messages that for some reason, Goat's team needs to be more looked after than others.
We'll have to see if other messages imply the same.
Why just Goat, though? What about the rest of the teams?
[this is Concerning?]
And, um... Won-san, I... I know you probably understand this better than I do, but... I really don't think bringing up Hilda-chan or Vezda-san to everyone is going to be a good idea right this second. Especially with more people dead, I'm... I'm really worried it's going to just give angry people someone to attack when we have more to do. I don't want that.
The only reason I want to tell Claude is that Hilda-chan is really close to him. He's... upset. Really, really upset. And I think this won't help at all. But... he deserves to make that choice for himself, you know? And I think hiding it from him will just make him hateful.
Oh - no, I wasn't going to say anything to people. In truth, there's very little information that I think needs to be said all at once. Only items that are for the good of the Realm - everything else is hard to prove and truly establish connections for.
[so he doesn't want to share information that isn't finalized, basically. and right now? so few things are truly finalized.]
But... alright. If you think that it's important to tell Claude, then I don't see a reason why not to.
Mmn. I do. I was with him this morning in his room when we all woke up, so... I want to talk to him anyway. I'm worried.
...
Um, anyway...
Thank you, Haku-san. I wish I had more to give you for the things that are missing, but... I think it would be a lot of guessing, as it is? It's a lot of black boxes and only a couple letters.

[Surprise...... all thats in here is her bed full of plushies and her sword and whatever dead dad stuff maple left behind that i'm not privey to rip.]
Did you get a message on your PHS, Haku-san? Right after the body was announced.
no subject
Besides the message that presumably Goat sent...? No.
Did you get something?

Very well then, Hikaru, you have my word. I'll keep the matter in confidence.
no subject
Chijin already knows - he tried but couldn't read it off my PHS when I showed it to him. I... I can read out what I can, but there's a lot blocked out.
But I think it's from Schwann.
no subject
[soo-won nods at that - and he doesn't look surprised exactly.]
That's what I thought. I think the removed are able to send two messages each week, though it comes a bit scrambled.
Would you mind showing it to me? I'll try to help you decode it.
no subject
[I mean, she flips the PHS over as instructed, but it's blank as all shit.]

If it helps - try transcribing the message onto paper? What do you see?
no subject
Um... I can read what I can? I figured out most of the middle part. There's only a couple sections that are all blacked out.
The... the part I think you should really hear is all visible, though.
no subject

Then I'm listening, if you're willing to share it with me.

Hilda or Vezda...?
[huh. his brow furrows at that.]
.... The last word - after 'protect'.
Could it be "Goats"? Is that long enough? The blank spaces - they also include spaces and punctuation marks, just so you're aware.
no subject
It's four, yeah, and then the S.
Goats... if it was a team, though, it could be Swans too, right? Or Foxes.
Or it... it might not be a team at all.
no subject
No... someone else received a different message - and it was implied that it also contained a message regarding protecting what they thought to say Goats, based on the letters revealed. While yours does leave room for more interpretation, it does seem like there might be a trend.
So I wonder... why the Goats?

No... this is plenty. Thank you, Hikaru. If you're able to decipher anything else, or need more help with it, let me know.
Every piece of information that we can glean is important.
