As long as we're careful not to let it fall before we're ready - or before they can take action to restart this entire process.
We have the parts, so the next step is deciding what to do with them. The rocks, too. [ ... ] I'm sure we'll learn more tomorrow, but I still wonder what Nehan-dono meant about "spending" them.
Timing is going to be everything for both sides. I wish our letters would arrive sooner than they do, but we can try to send them throughout the week to make sure something gets across so they know what we're planning when we figure that out.
Lucas and I were speculating about that. Since the rocks are tied to us, do you think maybe they're meant as a catalyst to bring us back? Like we exchange them to escape from this place.
If only we knew their own plan. [ with a sigh, he shifts to cross his arms. ] Making use of our letters is the best we can do. The more informed those who remain are, the better, even if we can't help them directly.
[ he's still frustrated about that. that won't be changing anytime soon.
that suggestion brings a troubled expression to his face. ]
I'd thought about that, too, but... Some of us haven't had the opportunity to collect those rocks, and those who are about to join us may not, either. I don't like the idea of leaving them behind.
Maybe with the barrier between us being more loose, our letters will go faster. [doubt. let's not kill our poor nu, actually.]
...ah. [yes, there is that point, too.] You're right. There's no guarantee those opportunities will happen again this week. Remember that week that the fog skipped? I don't want to leave anybody behind either. So okay, maybe not that. It still does present the problem that no matter what they're for, not everyone will have one.
Mm, that's what I'm worried about. But I don't know what else to use them for... [ shaking his head. ] Nehan-dono will likely tell us tomorrow. There must be something we've missed.
There always is though. We have to be patient for a little longer to get the answers we need. [which...is annoying.] I just hope all of us can still be patient after all of this. We're so close to the end. I don't want something happening that throws us off track again.
...It is irritating, having to wait so often. [ he keeps saying this but the answer is always wait a little more and something will come. ] We don't have time for something else to throw us off track, at this point. And we don't have time to argue about whatever does come through, either.
With so many of us here now, it's going to be inevitable that people might disagree with choosing a course of action. We have to try and keep everyone on track and remind them of what the actual goals are. And we're going to have to be as unified as possible.
Which...given some of the personalities here, that might be easier said than done.
