[ After the meeting and all has been said and done, Fandaniel, who had made no appearance whatsoever, pops onto the forum with this little message: ]

So how did your little meeting go?

Have you all decided to condemn an abandoned child for trying to warn in with the only tools they were allowed? Be not shy, friends. I have no doubt dear little Lily was one of the grand topics of the night~

I just couldn t


[The message sends despite looking unfinished.]

[secondthoughts]

And why not?

[gluttoning]

[Long, long pause, as though bracing.]

I couldnt

[Another halt, another pause.]

I tried.

[secondthoughts]

Considering we're all stuck here and some of us have already died, I'd say that trying wasn't for much.

Cmon. You KNEW what was at stake, so what gives?

[gluttoning]

[Another pause.

nails on a chalkboard]

I told you what I could, what else do you want from me??? What else was I supposed to do???

Who else is dead? There's more?

[tablescraps]

You're fine.

Even if you could have said something, it wouldn't have made people log off, and it wouldn't have changed the coming circumstance. The people who are still here are the type of people who don't quit, for better or worse.

1/2

[gluttoning]

Don't say it's fine when it's obviously not.

2/2

[gluttoning]

[...

After a pause:]

Sorry.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

[tablescraps]

( ... )

It's fine.

( Again. )

I'm always going to tell you it's not your fault. Because it's not. It's okay if you don't know how to believe me yet.

[secondthoughts]

Yael.

[gluttoning]

When?

How?

[secondthoughts]

I don't know.











But it's my fault.

not here

[tablescraps]

[legendofthelion]

[secondthoughts]

What do you mean? Where else could he go?

lol

[tablescraps]

( I'M SO SORRY HECTOR TO ADD TO THIS... )

He couldn't. Lily blocked him from speaking.

Don't blame him for this. It's not his fault.

[Dehya's mostly been keeping her opinions on this Lily to herself, given she hasn't spoken to him and the discussion at the meeting sure fell apart. But this...]

gotta admit that lily silencing people doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence

the road to hell is paved with good intentions right

in the end how is any ai going to know what's best for humans?

[gluttoning]

That was my fault. Not his. He had to keep himself safe. If I told the wrong people, we'd all end up in a lot more trouble.

I didn't like it. But... I understand it.

[tablescraps]

I think both sides have forced secrets. Both Lily, and CC Corp - the official corporate communications, Hien, and Zelkova - are all functionally digital entities pursuing goals unclear to most of the players here.

I don't know if an AI know what's best what's humans. But I don't know if humans know what's best for humans, either. It's humans running CC Corp... presumably.

( unless...? )

[secondthoughts]

Fucking preach sister

[secondthoughts]

I'm trying to understand and nothing's really helping the case for anyone who knew about this thing, it seems.

It BLOCKED him from speaking? Jesus christ.

[tablescraps]

I tried to get him to talk multiple times, but he couldn't speak, so I don't just say it to defend him. If there was more he could say, he would've.

( Well... That's glossing over some things Barrett did tell him but... dwbi......... )

Objectively, I would be more distrustful of 0koto and Fandaniel. They're the ones who'd intentionally withhold information they could actually share.
