[ assigns us the redacted locations because we know them. he's in the castle or whatever. look ]

Oh. Uh... What did he tell you about it?

[preowned]

He just said you talked to Aquarius about it, and that they said if we believe the journal is theirs, then it must be.

[skyagain]

... Right. [ he hates talking circles oh no ] Did he tell you what's in it?

[preowned]

He did, yes. He wrote down what he could remember from it.

[ a pause ]

It didn't actually sound like Aquarius.

[skyagain]

[ HE LITERALLY SAGS IN RELIEF ]

Thank you. [ he shakes his head ] ... As far as they're concerned, they'll say it's theirs if anyone asks. But I asked because...

[ gestures at tsuru. it is definitely not aquarius's please help them ]

[preowned]

[ he just

gestures back ]

It is not a surprise they would answer that way. They all usually do when it's something they can't answer.

[skyagain]

Yeah. No one's really questioned it. [ it's been painful. ] But... all the others are named in that journal. So who wrote it?

[ help? ]

[preowned]

Do you think... there might be other people here...

[skyagain]

I don't know. I think... At least one, for sure. [ he pauses ] Did you see the note Shinobu got? I copied it if you didn't.

[preowned]

You actually copied it...

[ HE SOUNDS SO THANKFUL ]

Show me.

[skyagain]

Started to realize no one is sharing shit. [ in a tired tone, but anyway. wow a written copy in his notepad! ]

[preowned]

Huh... names are crossed out...

[skyagain]

They must've been real names, not...

[ a shrug. titles??? jobs?? constellations?? whatever the hell they're called this ]

[preowned]

And everyone else has been using their staff names, so... someone who knows someone else intimately.

[skyagain]

... It reads like a personal letter, a little.

[ so ... something... gay ]

[preowned]

But to another staff member, or to someone else?

[skyagain]

It has to be someone else. Why else would they be trying to "write as often as they can"?

[preowned]

But then who... it has to be someone who has been to the hotel.

[skyagain]

... For who wrote it, sure, but the receiving one too?

[preowned]

No clue.

[ a pause. ]

Who comes off as particularly religious to you?

[skyagain]

... I haven't talked to all of them, but... none of the ones I'm familiar with fall there, to me.

[preowned]

I can try to ask around... but same...

[skyagain]

... Futaba and Rin have the other two notes. Maybe it'll elucidate us a little, but... they all sounded pretty different from what Shinobu said.

[ so. the religious mystery. is still one. ]

[preowned]

Hm, I can try to see if I can see what they say... I only got summaries.

[ stares into the void ]

[skyagain]

I know one of them had something about Aquarius... getting wasted...

[ looks into the void with tsuru ]
