[ yo. he's in his swimsuit and a towel, sopping wet. he nods at her. ]

...I should be asking you that.

[factoring]

We can ask it of each other.

[She's in her usual clothes. And then she'll pull out a note.

This note has a surprisingly well drawn bust of LWZ with Luo Yiguo asleep on his shoulder. There’s a little heart next to it. There's a very stylistic portrait of Yakumo in a maid dress, accompanied by a doodle of a frog in this style. Little doodles of Amelia, Simon, and Livio's heads are also on this note, not masterfully drawn but recognizable. Also, this guy is present. A G is scrawled in the corner but it looks like someone drunk drew it. Along the bottom of the note are three sharks colored yellow, purple and blue.

On the back there is a doodle of Kaveh in a jail cell, surrounded by dollar bills.]

Do you recognize anything here? I received it yesterday.

[squirt]

[ he stares. for a while. not because he's studying it, but because it's kind of dumb.

looks like some people had a good time.

he points to the This Guy. ]

That's Iwatobi-chan. My school mascot.

[ next, the G. ]

...Gerard?

[ points to sharks ]

Sharks.

...Not sure what the colors are supposed to mean. Can I take a picture of this?

[factoring]

[Okay so. Yes. That's correct.]

Do you think Rin drew this... strange bird?

[She'll let him take a picture.]

I've also been trying to figure out the colors of these sharks. I don't think anybody is particularly associated with yellow.

[squirt]

...Maybe. I thought he'd draw his school mascot instead. Gerard could have done it too.

[ either way, PROBABLY a teammate?

he tilts his head at the sharks. ]

What about Fei Du or Libby? Neither of them liked yellow?

[factoring]

What's his school mascot?

[She shakes her head.]

I don't think I've seen any of us in yellow. [Kyoko's colors are black, white, gold and pink, so... maybe?]

[squirt]

An ugly shark named Samezuka-chan.

[ he looks over the sharks again with a hum. ]

This looks pretty stupid. [ BLUNTLY ] Maybe they got drunk and sent us doodles.

[ he's not mad about it. it's a nice sign that they might be doing okay. ]

Or the sharks could be three people signing the letter.

[factoring]

These look like normal sharks.

[ The G definitely looks like somebody drunkenly drew it, so she's not against the thought. ]

It seems like more than three people drew on it.

[squirt]

Yeah, true. [ hmmm ] I don't know. I wonder if they're really trying to tell us something at all.

But it's good that they can send something physical. I thought it'd just be those spam messages.

[factoring]

Maybe that they're alright? Some physical proof of that in whatever way they're able to get it through.

I blacked out on Wednesday and received this. So... However it got here, we don't seem to be allowed to see it.

[squirt]

Yeah. I know we're supposed to keep quiet about anything from the dead. ...But if it's from them, that's good news.

[ this whole thing is extremely weird ]

I've blacked out and received a bouquet before. I don't really know what that's about. I'll ask if it's something the reapers can do...

[factoring]

Oh. You're the only other person who's mentioned blacking out.

[ Wait. ]

To be fair I only asked three other people. Some of the messages we've gotten on Friday say to err on the side of caution when talking to the people who run the game.

[squirt]

It was a while back. I thought it was just something the reapers had done.

[ no reason to believe in the graveyard at the time... ]

But, yeah. Ylfa tried asking Ruby about some of the latest messages and nearly got in trouble. So be careful. And if you need the notes we got last Friday, let me know.

[factoring]

It's like that. They did say they weren't on our side, so there's not that much we can share with them.

I shared my note with Wolfwood. Did you get more than one?

[squirt]

...Ruby was understanding, at least. They like us.

[ but he doesn't want to get the reapers in trouble. they're not all-powerful. ]

No, if you got his then that's fine. ...We'll try to be careful. And get everyone back.

[factoring]

They're not in charge. I understand.

[ Sometimes your boss is doing something you wish they wouldn't. ]

Let me know how I can help you two. My door is open.
