[She'd hesitated for a long time before even attempting this, but there was only so much denial one person could muster when words started appearing on paper by themselves because she'd written a few numbers at the top of the page.]

I'm not sure if anybody's actually seeing this or if I'm finally losing it, but something's going on and this is the only place I can see that might have answers.

So, if this really is happening what's next? Do we even have a plan?

[Don't you try to get into her head, whoever you are.]

This. It shouldn't be too hard, nobody knows who I am yet and I'm good at not being found.

A lack of involvement didn't help the poor gentleman who was murdered.

[Silence for a minute or two. She puts on a strong face and all but seeing that video was... hard.]

He tried to go to the cops. I already know not to do that.

[jests]

Thanks to his actions. [ nevertheless: ] Remaining aware of where and what is and isn't safe within the city and wholly, truly devoid of involvement will be a commendable feat. If you can manage it, you'll have my admiration.

Whilst everyone here has been drawn to it because of a number, one can't help but wonder how many individuals there are out there with numbers who haven't given in and found this network.

And what that says of us.

[She's never had time for thinking philosophically about her actions before, or at least never bothered with it. She decided to do something, she did it, and that was that. But these are different circumstances so, fine, she'll bite.]

And what do you think that is?

[jests]

That in doing as little as even connecting, we're not as anonymous as you're hoping.

[doomedtheworld]

[Well, that's just an unpleasant thought.]

I guess we'll see about that.

[jests]

We certainly will.

Best of luck.

[She's not going to return that, just end the conversation here with a few more disturbing thoughts than when she started.]

[Maybe avoiding all of this really wasn't going to be so easy.]
