there's a blip of surprise, but— not quite. there's something muted about it. monika stares at the message for a moment, frowning, and then she slowly lets out a breath.]
[ honestly, the emotion is probably relief. that he's not the only one that got this, and then didn't have to make the choice by himself whether or not to share it. ]
[ he'll just be honest, he wasn't going to keep it from Ylfa and Haru. ]
I suppose the truth is-- if we do not, Ylfa and I, our world is likely under the same threat as this. It doesn't change much for me. I don't know if that's good or bad.
[she nods, smiling just a little in spite of how ominous this is.]
Ahaha, same. I told my team right away.
[... a pause, then. and she huffs out a laugh. it's completely devoid of humor.]
Mmm, right. My situation is a little... unique. So it doesn't really change anything for me. But my teammates have homes to go back to, so I would say it's bad.
Just how bad depends on how many people received the same message, though.
I don't think there is much use hiding it. I don't know that I would want to-- I don't want to be responsible for something like that. Erasing a world.
A good, selfless person will see it as a warning to stay away from teams that are close to erasure. Someone more selfish and scared, however... Wouldn't they see it as a threat? Win this game at any cost, or everyone you have ever known and loved will be erased. Even a world can feel like a small price to pay if you're desperate enough.
I'm not saying we shouldn't share it. But you can still be indirectly responsible if the information lands in the wrong hands, you know?

[ there's actually a lot of trepidation, some fear. but he digs his phone out and shows it to her. there's a text message on the screen:
Bring them from different worlds. Erase worlds of those who fail to win. This will be a better system for the future. ]
