[ sometime after the investigation friday morning, simon is back at the library frowning at his phone... and when he sees a familiar frog shape out of the corner of his eye, he'll approach, keeping his voice low because this might be confidential information and also because this is a library and he has manners. ]
Have you gotten any weird messages since we got back...?
A bunch of people were asking me right after we got back if I'd gotten one, but I didn't until just a few minutes ago. Pretty sure this is the kind of thing they were talking about, though...
Monika and Fei Du have the same. [ but, he ribbits just a lil one. ] I asked the same question. But-- it's probably not right. To keep it to ourselves. I know that it will probably make things worse.
[ well memshares are back with a vengeance and i think everyone from egg cyoa is required by legal mandate to see the car memory so here you go, gerard!
simon's seen it replayed enough times by now that he doesn't show much of a reaction anymore; he just glares at gerard when it's over for ignoring the "no frogs allowed" sign on his memory theater that is maybe not visible but that he feels is very much implied. ]
[ well he didn't know the lexus was retraumatizing. sorry simon.
anyway, uh, he does startle at seeing a memory because he wasn't expecting it, and especially not simon's, but he will catch that glare and actually step back. awkward. ]

[ there's like a ! emotion, and he'll match the library-whisper, but ]
I was actually coming to find you for that exact reason ...

[ he'll pull out his phone though, just to check. ]
Yours is the same? The, ah ... worlds erased?
no subject
[ looks back down at his own phone again... ]
Um... I guess we should ask Monika and Fei Du too, but... do you think we should actually tell people what this says...?

[ but he doesnt feel good. holding onto it. ]
Maybe we are careful about the way it spreads.

I just really don't wanna be giving anyone more incentive to kill off other teams, you know?

If you've got something to say, spit it out.

I understand that it’s personal and that I’m not exactly a person you’d want to entrust with knowing something like that, so I don’t know.
For what it’s worth, I’m sorry. It’s awful.
no subject
Yeah, no kidding. And shit just kept going downhill for years after that. Honestly kind of amazing how that set the tone for my entire life.
[ always having to worry that everyone was out to get me and being right nearly every fucking time. ]
