[sure he teased about being disappointed earlier but,]
This is not a reflection of your performance. If you wish to come with me, I will still take you.
But even I understand the oddity of doing so when you have built much closer relationships over the past month, with others who are invested in your well-being.
[he rolls his eyes briefly, which is probably so mean coming from pixel shu.]
It is your choice whether you would like to ask or not. You have Arpéchéle to fall back on. If you choose to come with me, I will ensure you having housing, job security, and a reasonable level of safety. [a beat] There will be very little I can't grant you, if you ask for it. As long as you keep up your work, I will have little reason to deny you what you want.
[scien is so very sure that he is capable of providing a good life to someone, once they've proven themselves worthy of his attention.
however, it is because yuri has earned this much from him that he'll allow himself to be inconvenienced.]
But it is alright to want to be with friends instead. [he's not unreasonable. he knows normal people have friends.] So simply give me your answer at the end of all this. I will compensate you for your work here in whatever way I can.
[ Like a baby walking toddler steps. She sounds like she genuinely believes it too. ]
I'll sign off my messages with a hairbow so that you know it's me.
[ She wonders if the actual time has come yet. When she sees Scien's actual appearance, it really just makes her miss them even more, so she feels a little bittersweet. ]
Ah, I only meant on the nanites since that's what Dahut and I were looking into before we died.
Due to circumstances surrounding our composition where we are, we can't make any worthwhile strides so all research related to our bodies will need to be conducted by the living.
Yes, according to his last letter. I plan to speak with him more on it tonight.
[he looks thoughtful for a moment]
It may not be necessary, but ensure he also takes a blood sample and looks at the nanites of someone else. The stupider and less informed about technology, the better. Just to ensure all of you on this side aren't also made of memory.
But while I'll write to you in a cipher, I will send the Brat the same letter in plain text. See how effective the filter is in both.
It wouldn't be a bad idea. A member of Senior Crew as well, if you can get one.
Nanites might not be the cause... but it's better to rule out any differences completely. I also wonder if the lockdown process on Thursdays has anything to do with the violent actions that come after.

... Are you saying that other people would be willing to take me back to their world because we're... close?
[ Apparently the thought hasn't crossed her mind. ]

I remember. Thank you, Scien. I haven't forgotten. I'm really, really... grateful.
[ She smiles a little. ]
... I'm sorry for hiding from you earlier. I thought it was too much, seeing all these people but pixellated...
no subject
[he doesn't mind. but there's a brief flicker of scien again, instead of pixel shu]
It's good to have a healthy sense of apprehension. When I need you to know that it is me, I will ensure it.
... but you needn't be too grateful. It is merely compensation for work done. You deserve this much.
no subject
[ Yuri pauses, but then smiles. ]
I... deserve it.

Have more pride. I have acknowledged you. That isn't an easy feat.
[truly his arrogance - but he is very confident about this, at least]
My letters will go primarily to you and the Enda Brat. I've told a few others, so don't be surprised if they come to you asking for updates.
no subject
[ Hm. ]
Also, when I talked to Io, it seemed that he didn't know much about your research and wasn't sure where to go with it.

I'll get in contact with Shoma after I receive your message then. I'm sure that I can extract a sample from someone...
[ All she has to do is sincerely ask! (lol) ]
no subject
[BE NICE]
In general, compare my letters each time you receive them. I'm sure the others will also send worthwhile information... probably.
no subject
[ Just in case. Might find something interesting. Scien, please... ]
I hope others will send them as well.
[ Please. Either way, Yuri will take it upon herself to what she can anyway. ]

[ She frowns a little. ]
If the nanites aren't the cause, I really wonder just... what is.
no subject
There must be a source. It is not random or without patterns... so we must simply take what evidence we are able to gather and pursue it.
no subject
I'll do my best, Scien.
