[He answers the door, a couple holographic screens still floating around him as he peers at her quizzically.]
Oh- hi. What is it?
Oh- hi. What is it?
Honestly, it's about what happened on Tuesday. I talked with The Apprentice, and... we figured something out. About the dreams, and about why my body was weird.
Umm... I'd rather not talk about it public, since...
[She kind of waves her hands around like she's trying to indicate... something. Everything? Who knows?]

-Eh?
[This is definitely not what he was expecting today, but after that moment of surprise, he does nod and back away from the door so she can enter. He'll also obligingly shut the door behind her!]
Sooo... what did you figure out?

Sooo... what did you figure out?
If The Apprentice was telling the truth... these are not our original bodies. That dream about waking up covered in goop? Most likely, that's a memory from when we got our new bodies. That's why my body's normal now, it's not the one I was used to.
Like I said, this is kind of important, but... it's not something I can really say in public right now.

W-wait, really?!
[This is just layer upon layer of unexpected meeting, honestly.]
[This is just layer upon layer of unexpected meeting, honestly.]
Really. It makes sense, since my condition isn't something that a new body would have.
Of course, this still leaves a lot of questions, but... I thought it was important I tell someone in case I end up selected tomorrow.
I mean, I'm pretty sure what happened on Tuesday makes me the most suspicious person here, after all.

Y-yeah... thanks for letting me know.
[But hrm...]
Hey... if you survive this, are you going to tell anyone the part where it's not our original bodies? I can understand leaving out the part about why you know it.

[...Why did you have to ask me that...? If I say yes, I'll have to do it, but if I say no, then I'll definitely be hated...]
...the Apprentice seemed to think we would get more dreams. If another one shows up, I'll announce it then... Would that work, do you think?

I think so!
But if it makes you uncomfortable, I can just say I'm the one who found out.

Okay!
If it's useful and makes people happy, I'll do almost literally anything, so just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it!

Well I mean, there isn't really anything I need aside from that. I mean, you're already pretty kind, and you've been doing a good job of taking care of people so far, so at this point you just need to keep being you and things should work out.
[Sorry Yoshi, she continues to have some strange view of you.]

[-Wait what.]
You really think that about me?!

No one's ever put it that way before...
I mean, I definitely want to help as much as I can! But I never would've thought of myself as a good caretaker.

[Hi Yoshi, Ellie finally managed to send you a message of sorts. It only took her two days to finally say something. She just. Has to do it while curling up with a heart pillow and a plush toy she asked the staff for.]
Yoshi, could we talk for a bit? I know this is probably a bad time, but...

[The reply comes quickly enough:]

you won't be able to see me
all we'd really be able to do is hold hands
but you could talk out loud and i'll be able to hear!
