[ if they trust aika and kiichi enough to show them some of the more recent messages. could be worth trying -- he likes them both, but doesn't want to get anybody in trouble, reapers or players. ]
They haven't been in touch with the Reapers much, have they? They made a bunch of changes for the worse. ...Could be why someone is trying to help us. [ by sending messages and stuff. ] Someone higher up than the Reapers.
Yeah. I mean it kind of sounds like - maybe they’re getting tricked and these new bosses aren’t trying to do a game to come back to life at all. They just want an excuse to bring us here and erase our worlds.
...I don't see the point. [ he's not doubting her. it's just such a heinous idea. ] But—even Ruby was upset. With why all this was happening, and why living people were used. Erasing worlds. All of that. So... maybe.
[ why else would it suddenly be so much worse? ]
Should we try to talk to them? Fuwa and Kiichi. I asked Ruby—they aren't monitored all the time. If they just... hear us out. And don't report us. If we talk to all of them, maybe we can figure this out.
I don't want to do that without thinking it through.
[she wasn't meaning to imply she didn't trust ruby, just that ruby is a particular type of person, a type she has a lot of too, who will try to carry things herself and work hard not to let others notice what she's carrying. and she might think she has to carry this for aika and kiichi but she might be wrong.]
[ for better or worse. he's listened to her advice about keeping this in a close circle, and it's scary to expand past that, but. ]
But if things really aren't what they seem... they may all need to know. [ ... ] We could wait until Friday. And see if we get anything else from our other source. There should still be time to decide on what to say... before the game ends.
Yeah. I think that's a good idea. And I'll talk to them and find out what I can about their bosses and stuff without telling them.
Like maybe we could even just ask like... as a hypothetical. Hey, what would you do if you were assigned to a game and you found out some of it was based on a lie?
Aika told me she likes these games because it's good to give people chances to come back to life, but she doesn't like how cruel they are sometimes. So I feel like if she knew we wouldn't have needed to come back to life if they hadn't brought us...
...Yeah. It upset Ruby when we were speaking about it.
[ the world destroying was nasty enough business, but the fact that they weren't even dead runs so contrary to the very idea of the game. ]
The Reapers aren't cruel. So... I hope they'll hear us out. I don't think they have the power to save us. But they'd deserve to know if something is wrong too.

I mean, if we're wrong, we could ruin everything.
