I'm here because I actually wanted to talk to you about something. It's about your note to C-ta; I didn't want to talk about it where others could hear us.
[ .........Oh, Suga. Tenn laughs, and he waves his hand around. ]
Don't worry, I won't read it if you're going to write it down. Let me know when you're finished, fold the note, and hand it to me when you're done. I won't look at it unless I have to, you have my word.
[ ...He is still very much distraught over Moriarty, but he manages to give Suga a firm look. ]
I am going to trust you with something, Suga-san. But you have to promise me that you will not tell anyone, and you'll see why in a bit. I've only given four other people this information, and one of them is dying tomorrow.
[ His look is intense -- more intense than it's been with Suga specifically, anyway. ]
I have a role to play in this story, and if Hamelin ever finds out, then I'll be done for. Our connection to them could be severed. It might put us at a disadvantage, if not screw us over entirely.
That's right. I am actively working with all of them and some of the living to end this game. I've been talking to them since the second week, though our communication pathway is limited. As you can probably guess, we can only talk through notes, and the dead can't send their notes to me through a private channel.
I was sworn to secrecy, but unfortunately, I can't afford to keep this from everyone anymore. I needed people on my side, and I think I've trusted the right people with this, including you, so if you have any questions, I'll answer them to the best of my ability.
Unfortunately, no. I can only assume that they're finding things and doing okay based on the notes that they've given us. The only information I got regarding what they've been up to from my source is that they're holding meetings to try to figure things out. My guess is that there's valuable information on their side as well.
...Well. There's another thing that I should tell you, too, because I'm tired of hiding it -- especially from you. And...you deserve to know, Suga-san.
[ ... ]
I made a huge mistake on my first day here. ... Riku didn't have his inhaler when we first arrived, so I was bribed into making a deal with Hamelin.
That being said, before I elaborate further, I want to tell you first that I am not a traitor. I have information on who the traitors might be, thanks to my source and my role in communicating with the dead -- they are all fully aware of this deal that I made, and them along with a handful of people here are trying to help me out of it. I promise.
He wants me to destroy an object. The only potential lead we were able to get on this object thus far is that there's a small, square box missing in his office.
[ ... ]
He won't tell me when he's going to ask me to do this, or what the object is, but he is expecting me to make good on my promise. I'll tell you this: If destroying that object will put the group in jeopardy, I would rather die than do what he says.
Nothing incredibly incriminating, but it's still valuable information.
There are two traitors among us, and both of them are predators who are interested in other people's weaknesses. One of them in particular was said to be more dangerous than what you'd expect based on how they act. Furthermore, their goal is to keep this game going.
Finally, they did not have to be coerced into working for Hamelin.
I always believed that you weren't one of them, and this only confirms that, in my mind. First of all, you proved that you aren't afraid to use force when you attacked Hamelin, so I'm sure the group knows that you're not all that harmless. Also, Hamelin would have to do something very bad in order to get you to work for him.
The traitors, as of Week 3, were still alive. I will see if the same holds true after the execution tomorrow. And after assessing everyone remaining, you're one of the last people I'd suspect.
That's the spirit. Did you know he told me he thought I talked like someone who wouldn't want to get their hands dirty? Seriously, he can go fuck himself.
Well, hopefully you're right about that. Hopefully he really has underestimated me, and he'll be in for a surprise when we finally beat him at his stupid game.
[Somehow, Suga manages to keep his face from going red until they're in his room, but the sudden blush should alert Tenn that this isn't a strategical conversation.]
If you happen to be one of the ones who finds the letters And you happen to get a reply to mine Could you not show it to everyone else, please
I'll let you know if there's something strategic in there or anything but I said a lot of personal things that I don't want everyone to know about??

week 4, saturday night
Suga-san? It's Tenn.
[ His voice sounds a little more light than it did the other day, at least? ]

[ He'll head right on in, then. ]
I'm here because I actually wanted to talk to you about something. It's about your note to C-ta; I didn't want to talk about it where others could hear us.
[ He looks at Suga curiously. ]
Do you still have it?
no subject
Since that's where we found the first notes from the other side
[So it's... probably pretty waterlogged now...]
no subject
[ Welp. ]
Would you be willing to write it again? Or, you can tell me what you want to say to him, too.
[ Hmmmm. ]

Don't worry, I won't read it if you're going to write it down. Let me know when you're finished, fold the note, and hand it to me when you're done. I won't look at it unless I have to, you have my word.
no subject
Tenn does not have to read his gay feelings today.]
no subject
[ He takes the note and puts in in his pocket, careful not to crumple it up. ]
The reason why I asked this of you, Suga-san, is because I will make sure it's delivered to him.
no subject
Were you chosen for executioner

I swear I won't tell a soul

Do you know if they're doing well
If they're in pain or anything like that
no subject

That's good to know

I probably would have done the same
[Of course Tenn's first priority was getting his brother his medicine. How could he be expected to do anything else?]
What does he want you to do
no subject

He won't tell me when he's going to ask me to do this, or what the object is, but he is expecting me to make good on my promise. I'll tell you this: If destroying that object will put the group in jeopardy, I would rather die than do what he says.

I trust you to make that choice

What about the traitors
What do you know about them

He can go fuck himself with a cactus
[Suga certainly doesn't mince words when it comes to his opinions on that guy, at least.]
no subject
[ WOW!!!!! they're both rude now!!! ]
no subject
Who asked for his opinion
[Nobody!! Because they're rude!!]
no subject
Ironic that he'd say that, considering how much I've already gotten my hands "dirty" with all of this.

Just annoying

We'll get out of here together
week 6, monday afternoon
If you happen to be one of the ones who finds the letters
And you happen to get a reply to mine
Could you not show it to everyone else, please
I'll let you know if there's something strategic in there or anything but
I said a lot of personal things that I don't want everyone to know about??

WELL. THIS IS ON COCO, NOT TENN, BUT. Guess who forgot to relay the letter amongst all the chaos from this week... ]

no subject
OK
Thank you for all your hard work
no subject
You don't have to thank me. I'm happy to help where I can.
[ He means that, too. Despite his own feelings towards C-ta, he won't let Suga's words go unread. ]
...I'm surprised you're still willing to give him a chance, all things considered.
no subject
If it were me
And my friends were in danger from something like that
I can't say I wouldn't have snapped
So I understand
no subject
Rika was in a similar situation, wasn't she? Hearing her story helped bring some perspective to C-ta's situation as well.
no subject
The more hopeless it seems, the more likely you are to do something you normally wouldn't even consider
no subject
[ For Suga's sake, but Tenn doesn't say that. ]
And if we do, don't let him trample on you. Okay?
no subject
I'm very good at bossing him around when I want to be
