[ points at the box of definitely cursed cookies. ]
Pretty sure that's the response, so. Wouldn't get my hopes up.
[ going to continue opening some more of these... reading sort of distractedly ]
They've been sayin' this whole time that we're the first time they've tried any of this, so if there's actually other people who were here before us... reckon if they're not the liars, someone's been lyin' to them.
God mentionin' somethin' about whatever's doin' this bein' like... a third thing. Not like them an' the angels and not like us, an' it's hidin'. They're quarantinin' parts of heaven, basically, tryin' to lock it down.
[ ... ]
If this ain't the first time, maybe they couldn't get rid of it and it broke out again. [ ... but yes! letters! ]
[ coming to look over his shoulder at the letter to see who it's from. ]
Y'don't think he'd play it up, act the villain t'make the others feel better? [ ... ] I'll be honest, I don't really get who does and doesn't count as needin' to heal. Daigo said he felt compelled to do whatever he had to do to get the apple, didn't he?
If it was from him, I'd think that, but this is from Charlie. Just says it like it's a fact, that neither he or Akihiko were.
[ squints ]
What is she— [ ... ] Oh, shite, this ain't even my letter.
[ looks back at the envelope, which says fidelio. looks back up at the greeting of this letter that he totally skipped over while he was distracted by mystery nudists, which definitely says lucas (and which the mods say is not their mistake). ]
Did she just put this in the wrong bloody envelope??
... I mean, she's real enthusiastic but I don't think she's scatty? She told me she believed the entity was the one censorin' letter. You don't think it's goin' a step further?
If we’re helpin’ Laurence get rid of some of his snacks tomorrow, might be a good time to check in with people about letters and anythin’ handy they got. Might be a chance to see if Lucas got your letter, Del, if he comes along.
[ hmmm. ]
Entity seems petty, so I wouldn’t put it past it either.
Thanks Eupha. It’ll be nice to just do somethin’ relaxin’ after everythin’ that happened over the past few days.
[ and before more people come back injured. and before more people die. and before another trial. and— ]
We’ve got plenty of non-snack related food too…
[ it’s all coming together. ] I’ll haveta keep an eye out in case I get a letter not meant for me as well. See if it’s all jus’ Charlie’s letters or if it’s happenin’ to other people.
Yeah. Think I'll hold off on sayin' anything to her about it 'til we hear from some others in case it's somethin' I shouldn't be mentioning in writing.
—Oh, did you figure out some sort of ritual adaptation you could do with the snake? Figure we can work that into the memorial portion of things if you're up for it.
... There is something I could try. It would be more symbolic than anything, and I would only be able to do it for one person, but perhaps Mister Majima would appreciate it.

Wait, Claude wasn't afflicted??

Was it Claude who told you so? Sir Zhongli tells me he has claimed as much... I am not sure what to believe.

Perhaps the next time we all discuss letters, we should see if the same thing happened to any others.

But yeah, wouldn't hurt to check in with everyone while we've got a bunch of us here.

Don’t see why you can’t honour someone in your own way too.
no subject
Course we don't mind.
And if the snake's involved, I'm pretty sure Majima will appreciate whatever you come up with for him.
