First one kind of sounds like he's talking about a double murder, at least out of context? But yeah, that one's already taken care of anyway...

[ and then the next one... ]

...Huh. Yeah, Manwol-san sent me a similar one about talking about and doing certain things during trial?

[ takes out his own phone to show her this one:

I don't normally wear shirts like this, you know. But I am still fond of our group, so I'll wear this one just for you. The gifts are nice, but I do miss talking to you. Do you have any gossip or stories? They can be about anything, and you don't have to write them in a letter. We can see all of you whenever you're in public and during trials, so maybe then? Trial would be better, since we're all in the same place and we don't miss anything.

Oh, you and your team should send us finger hearts during trial. If anyone asks, then you can explain that it's a popular pose from Korea and Japan.

I'd send something nice to you too, but there's nothing we have here that you don't have or will have. Besides giant murderous lobsters. ]

...Also "We just have lobsters and cages" at the end of the new one from today, I don't know if she's just really sick of these giant lobsters or if that's also supposed to mean something? Were we not supposed to eat those ones that got sent over here???

... The heart thing's not so bad? We can do that pretty easily.

[ ... ]

They do remember we're trying to solve a three body problem, most of the time, right...? Although they're not wrong, we do tend to have some down time during the early hours. Do they just want us to talk about our homes and gossip about stuff publicly?

[ ... huh. ]

We're going to need more if they want us to put them in cages...

Yeah, I figured we could do the heart thing no problem, even if I didn't really get why. The gossip thing, though?? I mean, I don't even really have any, first of all, but also what kind of achievement could that possibly get us?

I have no idea? Are we meant to just be sharing stories from home? Maybe I should just yell at them while they can see us. They want drama? I'll give them drama.

[ aaaaaa ]

[ that gets a little smile because yeah!! he understands the frustration!!! ]

Well, if you do, I'll support you 100%.

Essek especially. [ essek is just catching strays. ] Maybe I should live read one of those stories about him from the library.

[ delighted spite vibes just kind of overpower everything else for a few seconds ]

Oh, you absolutely should.

[ lmao help. the totty spite out in full force. ]

Astolfo— [ … ] They mentioned that the dead mentioned using the books as inspiration for drama, but— some of them are really, weirdly, out there. Still.

If we didn’t have three cases to solve, then I’d think about doing a long form dramatic reading or something.

Just do it at the very beginning before anyone starts bringing evidence back. We're usually sitting around and waiting for puzzles for the first two hours anyway.

[ … she just giggles. ]

It’s the fact we don’t even know that’d do anything for an achievement. Ugh, maybe Andy could just tell us if they have a hint list or something. I didn’t even think to ask.
