H-Hello, everyone. My name is Lillie. I wanted to let everyone know that if you're sick and you need to talk, I'll be at the Storyteller's Temple as often as I possibly can to talk with you. You don't have to introduce yourself or explain anything, you can just talk all you need and Nebby and I will listen. I know it can be easier to tell some things to strangers, after all...

[There's a slight pause before:]

If you aren't already sick, you may want to stay away...I'm sick myself and I think this is contagious, so don't put yourselves at risk, okay? Oh, but if you do wind up coming to see me...you'll know it's me by my hat. It's a large white sunhat, I haven't seen anyone else with one like it, so you can be sure it's me. Thank you for listening, sorry to disturb you all.

Emotions. [The lack of introduction is partially because Connor rarely bothers anyways and partially because he's trying to minimize the amount of speaking he's doing.] They were banned on Ai'tuoh and I couldn't figure out why then but that's - the more you bottle it up, the faster the flowers grow. Every. Single. Time. You say "I'm f" -

[There's a hiss of pain and then a slow, shaky breath. Yeah, alright. That was maybe not a great idea, given that he knows that's literally how it's triggered.]

Every time you lie about how you feel, something new grows. Every time you tell the truth, I think - I think that's how you cure it. That's why the robots didn't get it at first. That's why the rates of dying were all different.

[Should he take his own advice? Probably. But he's not gonna.]

I have fluro, if you want it. It makes the nausea worse, but it makes it easier to breathe.

Hello, everyone. If you don't know me, my name is Mira.

[ What an introduction. She clears her throat, and her voice is a little scratchy. ]

Nari Nishitani and I have found something that... might be of use. If you'd like to come find me and read it for yourself, I'm by the mana pool. I'll read to you what I've found, though, in case you're not feeling well enough to make your way here.

[ And indeed, she reads out the message. ]

... I'm not sure what "the beast" is. Does anyone have any ideas?
