[just starts a new subtl so we can keep it a little more organized ig but let's say this is after gerard and haru either come to a decision or decide to deal with it in private]
...um. I'm sorry to bring this up... I don't like to think about losing any of you. But, one of the theories that's been going around is that some of the odd messages we've gotten during the week have been from the erased.
Should... we try to come up with some kind of a code, to confirm it...?
Something so we'll know it's from you. I've gotten a connection error every time I've tried to write back, so it would have to be something we would recognize just by seeing it.
What about something that makes sense if we all compare it together? Like... a capital "F" at random in a message to one of us, a capital "R" where it shouldn't be in another, an "O," and a "G"... that way it won't look weird to anyone else looking in.

Gerard decoded them. They were all scrambled when we got it originally.
Ylfa's: normally when players are erased they are for all intents and purposes gone kept around on some frequency maybe but less tangible or aware than even folktale ghosts which of course means that having them conscious elsewhere is very much not normal game protocol not exactly against the rules but those running the game wouldn t be pleased to find out so it s important to hide this from them and to err on the side of caution when discussing anything that seems out of place
Haru's: after all playing by their rules is unavoidable and the only thing preventing any retaliation on their part is whether or not they feel it s worth the effort by that point nothing is gained by blatantly defying them even if it might be tempting to with all the anomalies in this iteration of the reaper s game
...And I got more messages. They're different from before.
[ so they'll also get to see these, though they're on his phone: ]
