[ thank god for turbo healing. but he does smile back because, like, it's hard not to. ]
You scared a bunch of us. But I think everyone's just gonna be glad you're okay. These things have been...pretty rough on everyone, but having to face Bahamut didn't look fun.
You're right. It wasn't fun, but it had to be done. I felt... really lucky--turning into a phoenix is not usually a part of my skillset. I don't have any magic or anything. The simulation room going on overdrive really helped me out.
It was definitely lucky. I know that room can do all kinds of things, but I always thought it was just designed to make stuff you already know. Maybe it sensed you wanted to survive and get back to everybody. [ ... ] Still. It was just another thing that wasn't fair to you or Nodd.
But I'm used to unfair things being the norm and... I strangely feel happier about it. Not about what happened to Dion, but that I managed to fight and return to everyone. Because... I survived.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little happier about something like that. Sometimes it's a struggle just to achieve that much on a daily basis, you know? You...knew what you wanted, and you got it. You should be proud of that, and even though we lost Dion he'd probably be proud of that, too.
[ The fact that he offed himself wasn't great, but she hopes that he will think differently when he's where all the dead people are... wherever they may be. ]
I don't think it needs to be said that we want you to keep surviving. I'd...like to find a way to stop this, but it's been hard to track. We know it could be any of us, but I don't have to like it.
[ ... ]
...you should try to reach out to him and the others on HER-MES. If you want. They can see everything there.
[ Yuri nods and opens up her IRIS and makes it visible to others so that Shoma can see it:
New Hire. I heard that you were looking into continuing with my research after my passing. Good. Connect with Io. I’ve developed something to look into memories as well. Report your findings. I also heard you were holding onto guilt that doesn’t belong to you. Stop that. Look forward, not down.

Written on Wed. Let me know when you get this. Looking for a way out. I'm filling out ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████. What else have you found? We can see everyone when in public. I'm making sure to take breaks, so don't worry. Please look after yourself too. Take care, Yuri.

Communicating with the "deceased" has been so weird for me... now that I know that people can be brought back in a certain way.
Yeah, this sounds right. I was a little skeptical, too, but...here, you may as well see mine as well.
[ opening his own iris so she can see:
Brat. What a tough week. What of your secrets? Haha, condolences. Well, those who are meant to understand, will. Trust me. Consider our deal reactivated. Report your findings. We are on the ship. It’s ████. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ us. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████. I’m tired of curses.

Hope you are alright. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ flowers. If you could find a hydroponics room on that side, there may be clues. We're doing what we can here. You don't have to worry about replying if you can't. Just checking on you. Found a way yet? - V

We're aboard the ship still. ████ ████ ████ ████ ████ ████, ████ ████. ████ ████ ████ ████? We can see public spaces and HERMES. I'm sorry. I know we keep leaving you without company or answers. But I hope you'll risk a future life of happiness. Know I believe in you always. ]
Seems like a few people are hearing from them now.
[ HELP. he blinks a little at that and he's not actually laughing at her, but there's a brief chuckle anyway. ]
It's a little confusing when they don't sign their letters, huh? I think Viktor's the only one who consistently signs off. I only knew the last one was Sidon because of something we talked about before he died...and same with Scien. Wonder who your second one's from then.
It's really hard when everything's also blocked out and we get these things on a delay. I don't think Eunhyuk's going to mind if your reply comes in a little later.

I received a message from Scien the other day.

Yeah? What'd he have to say? I mean if you're comfortable with that. I'm pretty sure he sent me one, too. Along with Viktor and Sidon.

I suppose so...
[ She sighs and puts her arm down after turning the IRIS off. ]
It's been a long day... for you too, Shoma. It must have been emotionally exhausting. Go get some rest. I'll be in our room some hours later tonight.
no subject
I still have some people to catch, but...after that, I will. [ ... ] Don't hesitate to message me though if you need anything before then.
