[ once the dead and living can contact each other again, livio will get two forwarded texts, one after the other, that he can probably pretty easily figure out are the ones that simon originally sent to amelia. ]
from user hilarious: ok well congrats on not dying this week, i'm glad you made it
to answer your question, hiding things is kind of what i do i haven't trusted anyone in 18 years and i never had any intention of trusting any of you either you lucked out and avoided all my really shitty memories so i guess you only have a tiny bit of the context for it so here you go
when i was in kindergarten my "best friend" kidnapped me and i almost froze to death tied up in a car on christmas eve (lol i dodged a bullet being dead this week ig) i never saw my father again, which i thought was because he got murdered that night, but i got back a lost memory that week that made me realize he wasn't who i thought he was so i guess i was actually right the first time and he just never bothered looking for me? lmao cool anyway i was at a shitty orphanage for 6 years witnessed a secret political assassination and cover up that people high up in law enforcement were involved in so they kept interrogating me about what i saw and wanted to get rid of me and i couldn't go to the police or anything for help because the people at the top were in on it ran away and spent the next 12 years barely sleeping and jumping at every unexpected sound thinking they'd finally found me i joined the circus specifically because they travel around so that meant i wouldn't have a permanent address and it'd be easier to hide
so sorry my track record didn't make me eager to share anything that i thought might give people incentive to kill me?? getting framed for shit i had nothing to do with just brought all those memories back and then two days later they literally came back lol

from user bobo: 2/2
since hot mess ended up taking the fall for that i didn't have any proof that i wasn't guilty and i figured everyone was going to come after me in retaliation if i couldn't find out who it really was which i never did because no one would ever fucking tell me a damn thing and i was scared as hell because everyone ALWAYS comes after me, it's like my fucking life story, as that week sure kept reminding me
i thought i could at least guess who it was based on some of the evidence discussed during trial (which lol now that i know THAT was a fucking frame job too but) i wanted to get them back for what i thought they did to me and i thought about the calculations everyone made at that trial, how no one looked at the teams the victims were on and how they weren't willing to vote for a team with less than 4 people if they weren't sure and i thought if our team lost someone then they'd feel sorry for us and lay off
so i came up with a plan and carried it out and it worked until this side apparently told everyone over there that i was a threat that needed to die so i guess everyone i talked to that week was lying to my face and just humoring me while planning to off me which yeah karma whatever but also lmao that shit is exactly why i felt like i had to do what i did in the first place so, you know awesome to have that confirmation that i really never could trust anyone and that everyone was glad to have me dead except for maybe you though i figure i'm one of the bad guys in your book now so maybe not
anyway that's what i have to say
also money's dead btw they threw him in a fucking lava geyser, he's over here too
[ yeah amelia never showed him this a lot happened ]
She was really sad for you, just so you know. That she hadn't tried harder with you. But you never really gave her a chance to know the real you either. You and I had some real time together, but obviously I only knew part of your history. Thanks for sending me this.
This is all pretty shitty though. Once we knew the messages were coming from the Erased and there were so many of them I didn't really have a reason not to believe them, and I had figured out what you did to Fukuzawa behind our backs. By the time Ylfa had told me what really happened with the framing, things were already going to shit and then all those messages came. And I couldn't let you kill them, even if what they did ended up really fucking you over. And I couldn't trust you wouldn't hurt Amelia, either, since you hid all this shit.
So I'm not sorry for thinking you're a threat. You're also a fucking shithead. But I am sorry things worked out this way. And I'm glad you're not gone. I'm not planning on leaving you dead, just for the record. I meant what I said before.
You guys alright on that end, btw? We went through some time travel crap.
from user bitclown i guess i wish you'd actually confronted me about it once you knew instead of just pretending to my face that nothing had changed because you DID know more about me than pretty much any of the erased did at least i mean idk maybe i still would have tried to lie but if you were that worried about me hurting amelia you could have just fucking broken my arms or something probably would have actually felt less shitty
yeah we did something like that too we actually went back what i think was a few years? to a previous game and someone there gave us some stuff that's supposedly going to be able to help
(also not to say i told everyone so about the not sharing secret messages with the reapers thing but i'm pretty sure i did)
You're better at lying and pretending than I am, Simon. If we were somewhere else, somewhere where people don't fall unconscious every Thursday night, somewhere where someone like Kyoko couldn't somehow kill Wolfwood, then yeah, I would have confronted you. Wouldn't have even hurt you, just talked. Given you way more of a chance. Because I did want to, and I do want to now. But in a place like this, it wasn't a risk I could take.
We just went back to redo parts of weeks.... don't know if you saw? But that sounds pretty promising. Are you allowed to say anything?
Also yeah asshole, you were right. You can get your I Told You So In. It was my fuckup.
from user bigmad you say that but you totally played me that week lmao give yourself some credit
yeah we saw some of it. we haven't had a chance to talk to n. since before they went over to your side, which sucks because i have some questions for them but also if there's still stuff we're supposed to be forbidden from saying we haven't gotten the memo, so. we got a sign and a feather. no idea what we're supposed to do with them yet but hopefully it'll be clear when it's time for them. or we'll find out that person from the past was also lying to us, i guess.
[ me squinting at that last tag like wow i sure did not close that small tag did i... the mad was so big everything else shrank ]
from user CuttlefishCuller/feferipeixes actually when they showed up on your side that was the first time any of us saw them people here were just sending them messages before that
yeah she had a monkey too apparently? didn't actually see him but she gave money a cookie

i guess i was actually right the first time and he just never bothered looking for me? lmao cool
anyway i was at a shitty orphanage for 6 years
witnessed a secret political assassination and cover up that people high up in law enforcement were involved in so they kept interrogating me about what i saw and wanted to get rid of me
and i couldn't go to the police or anything for help because the people at the top were in on it
ran away and spent the next 12 years barely sleeping and jumping at every unexpected sound thinking they'd finally found me

we got a sign and a feather. no idea what we're supposed to do with them yet but hopefully it'll be clear when it's time for them.
or we'll find out that person from the past was also lying to us, i guess.

[ also it wasn't all playing but livio is not going to admit that ]
They haven't come back? I'm trying to figure out what their deal is.
Heard about the sign. Wonder what the feather was.
That's... the Composer person, right? From another game?
