Dying here is only a momentary inconvenience anyway.

No, but, I wouldn't mind switching illnesses. I mean if there has to be a timer, why not something nicer?

[thisisourfuture]

I don't think they'd switch.

You'd just have 'both' of them at once.

[It's upsetting to think about this. He's known Komaeda has a timer and not talked about it. But...]

...and I don't want you to die. You matter to me.

1/2

[despairing_hope]

[He sees the message, and he's not sure how to respond. He feels a mixture of joy and anger.]

Dont write things like that.

2/2 over stone of far speech because writing dumb conversations next to each other is so last month.

[despairing_hope]

[He immediately took out the rock to send a message to Hinata. How annoying, why was he so stupid sometimes?]

You should say things like that over the far stone at the very least.

[thisisourfuture]

I'll say or write it however it takes to get you to realize it's true. You matter. To me. To our class.

[despairing_hope]

That....

This isn't the same as that. No matter what, its borrowed time.

[And when would his luck run out?]

I dont want to hear this right now.

[It was what he wanted, and yet, far from what he wanted.]

We should focus on the clues....

[thisisourfuture]

I'm not going to let you die here. So don't seek it out.

[It's his last remark on the subject before he sighs.]

Alright. We know so far people might have come here in groups. ...I found supplies near the shore in a crate. How about you?

[despairing_hope]

I wasn't planning on dying here....

[He couldn't help but mutter a little before moving on. This conversation was Done.]

I've found a crate full of an interesting substance. However I'm more interested in the written documents people have found.

[thisisourfuture]

The location of where we found supplies could be important. [The fact things are being found in crates and boxes is sticking in his head.]

At least to...piecing things together.

[despairing_hope]

Oh it definitely is.

But... there's a story here, a mystery. We need more records to put it together.

[He wanted to know the end. He wanted to reach the final pages.]

[thisisourfuture]

We do. We need to know exactly what happened here. But I want to see what else is left along the way. That could lead us to more answers. If everything is being found in boxes and crates...why?

[despairing_hope]

Things unopened protect from the elements better. When encased less things can destroy it.

It's simply easier to find things intact when they were already inside something else.

[thisisourfuture]

Yes, I know that. But the location they’re found at suggests they might have been sent to this island. Not packed away here.

[despairing_hope]

Is it that strange to have things sent or transported by sea?

[thisisourfuture]

It adds further evidence that this place might have been for containing something. Like we were contained.

We need to know more for me to be sure. But we shouldn't overlook even the smallest of details.

And you're right the entries we find will tell us more. They might even answer that.

[despairing_hope]

You think the people here were criminals?

I feel it's different.

[thisisourfuture]

I was using us as an example. All this boils down to is we know this island was used for something before the containment. And a containment likely did happen.

Whether the supplies were sent before or after...that's not yet clear.

[despairing_hope]

I imagine both. It's not uncommon to reuse a place as something else when the need arises.
