It's really, really important to Hajime. [he actually looks a little worried about that, too.] I'm glad she found it after we got here, but what was it doing over by the river? Her body was found in the woods.
[? ? ?
also he will not explain to what degree it's important at the moment but hm.]
[ it's fine. sometimes find someone's treasure and that's about all you need to know about it. izumo will be fine with knowing that it's super important to hajime. ]
Wait—her body was in the woods?
[ people....found her body? ]
Do you know what condition it was in? You can know a lot about what happened.
Yeah. Hilda, Claude and I were in one part of the woods and another group went the other way I guess. Hilda split up from me and Claude while we were fighting with a squirrel but she came back when she saw the body.
I didn't get a look myself, but I talked to someone else from that group later. She said that they followed their trail into the woods and found a piece of cloth down the path. A squirrel stole it and it ran into us instead, but when they went to chase it they found Hajime. She also said something about a broken stick?
[mmm...] Someone else told me that there was cereal and some hair in the planetarium, too. So that's already three different places things went wrong, if we're counting the river. Who knows what else we're missing?
That one sounds more likely, but there's one thing I don't understand. How did she get outside in the first place? [sora's not, like, exceptionally intelligent but his real strength is talking to people enough that they trust him.] From what I've heard from pretty much everybody, all of the doors locked last night.
[ no!!! i'm threading a cute thing and i can't be stopped. My Food. ]
If she was outside then she was outside. [ facts are facts. ] The real question becomes, how did someone leave and come back inside? I have a feeling that we all must have fallen asleep at the same time.
[ but did not wake up at the same time. ]
The other question is—if we find out that there wasn't a struggle, then who would she have trusted enough to follow them into a place where they could kill her?
[ the "why" might be tied into that so she doesn't frame it. ]
...you know. Probably the same way someone got into the planetarium in the first place. I wonder if someone has a way to unlock the doors after we've all fallen asleep. Or they're all on some kind of timer.
[it's hard to say.] I wish it was easier to know, but...maybe we should wait to see what the Leaders find out. If they have any ideas, we can go from there with what we already know.
I'm really interested in hearing what they have to say about themselves.
[ focusing on that because it really is hard to say. they can think about this all night long but it won't mean anything unless they have more things right in front of them. ]
That's the earliest though. Maybe you got lucky and it'll happen to you later...? [that's. very weird though.] I didn't think I was missing anything. And I'm still not sure if it's because of this place or I just don't remember because it's been so long. But I didn't notice until I was talking to someone about something else.
But I think it's a good idea to do that. Writing down what matters most now before we forget could save us a lot of trouble later. [...] Do you think you forgot something important? How do you feel?
Even if we do forget, I don't think it's ever truly gone from us anyway. We just have to find a way to remember again. It's still a part of us so it doesn't just go away forever. It can't.
They said that they put us on teams to help motivate us. Maybe it's the same thing for losing our memories. The more we lose, the harder we'll want to work to get them back.

[ hmm...the fact that sora knows it means that it likely might be tied to someone. a someone named hajime but to what degree? ]
Is it important?

Under the assumption that we haven't missed anything— she'd start out at the planetarium, then move to the river, and end up in the woods.
[ hmmm but then the notebook? ]
Or, she's start off at the planetarium then be taken to the woods where her things were discarded in the river.

We'll have to ask them everything we can while we can. Just in case their rules really do change.

[ she is refusing to acknowledge that shima exists. not that sora knows. probably. ]
I've tried writing what I can remember down to see if anything triggers and to make sure I have some record of it.
[ you know, should she forget. (and she definitely will). ]
no subject
But I think it's a good idea to do that. Writing down what matters most now before we forget could save us a lot of trouble later. [...] Do you think you forgot something important? How do you feel?
no subject
I wrote down everything that I thought was important to me.
[ no spoilers, but honestly? it's something that makes her frown more. ]
Whatever I forgot, if I forgot, must not have been that important.
no subject
Even if we do forget, I don't think it's ever truly gone from us anyway. We just have to find a way to remember again. It's still a part of us so it doesn't just go away forever. It can't.

[ funny things i ask for before trial, is2g. ]
But what's the point in that if I can't who I used to be while doing so?
no subject

But that only would make sense if we could know what went missing when it does. If it just...disappears without any trace then it makes no difference.
[ this is also to assume that people will share their back stories as well and. that's..?? ]
