sticksandbones[so, somebody slept well through the fammeet and any other interesting events of the past few days. anyone with a bracelet connection to them (so, like, ain, and maybe wolfwood if the bracelets work in extended... groups... yerp) will have noticed razlo now just as conked out as livio. their sleep is deep, but painful -- nothing out of the ordinary for them, though. they just need rest.
when livio finally can open his eyes without wincing in the sun... he takes a while to mull something over before showing his face in the grove again. and eventually, his handwriting begins, a stark, clean contrast from razlo's all-caps chickenscratch, in the netbooks.]
This is Livio. First off, I'm sorry if I worried anyone over the past [there's a long pause before he continues:] while. If Razlo said or did anything upsetting to you, let me know how to make it up to you.
The main reason I wanted to apologize is that I kept something from all of you. The school office has some filing cabinets that contain records of some of our past lives, probably just school staff and students. I have not read anything in detail about anyone, just enough to realize what exactly I was looking at, at which point I stopped. I didn't want to snoop, and I didn't want to know about myself. I kept the cabinets locked and didn't mention it before because I was worried that other people would spiral over it, too, or intrude on other residents who didn't want their pasts to come to light, or that somehow the forest would use it against us, or
[he doesn't finish that line of thought, because his own anxieties would go on forever, so he just moves on.]
I just worried. A lot, for a long time. But it was wrong of me to keep it from everyone. If you want to look for any records of yours, your family's, your friends, I'll leave the keys in the office. I still don't know if this is the right decision, but it should never have been mine to make alone.
[yet another... solid minute passes before he adds one last line.]
Also, I'm sorry for being so long winded. This probably could have been a lot shorter. And less pitiful sounding.
I'm doing it again.
OK, bye.
[three last lines. hi, he is humiliated.]
