[Text] S03E03: Shit Gets Real

[manicurious]

[Ichijou has received a very alarming message, which despite the general secrecy surrounding anything to do with Nathan he just can't keep to himself. He's trying to maintain a calm tone via text, but in person he's, well, clearly more than a little upset.]

I received a message overnight from the device of my emergency contact in response to one of my distress calls. It isn't him. I don't know who it is or what they've done with my contact. The message reads:

There is nothing for him to say as he does not know you are saying anything at all. Your words fall on ears unable to hear.

And soon, you will have no breathe with which to utter them.

I'm at a loss here. Aside from attempting negotiations, I can only think of one possible measure to take as a last resort...

A very important friend of ours. Even under the current circumstances, I don't know if it's safe to divulge much of anything about him.

[luke_triton]

So you're just going to let half of you know and the rest of us don't?

[manicurious]

If that's how you'd like to think of it, yes.

[luke_triton]

That's not fair! How are we supposed to help if we don't know what's going on?

[manicurious]

That's an exaggeration. You know what's going on, you just don't know who's involved. You can make up generic names if you'd like.

But making up names isn't going to help solve anything!
