I don't think I can.
[she seems frustrated.]
I saw one from Gemini.

[she doesn't react exactly, but a moment later, slowly nodding.]
I don't think I can talk in too much detail about this, based on our conversation.
It was during memory week. They saw it too. They asked me not to speak about it. I don't want to get them in trouble.
But it is...important to understand the situation almost all of the staff may be in.

Right...
Um... I mean, I'd like to be able to help with stuff, and also maybe to have a better idea of what's going on so I don't misunderstand things and mess something up... A-and I wouldn't tell anyone anything! But... if you think that's a bad idea, then okay. I get it.

I know. I would like you to understand as well. That seems valuable.
[she has to stop and think for a moment.]
Let me put it this way. I think you understand the critical point I am making. Both you and I made an assumption about Gemini. Both you and I were incorrect. But we did not make the assumption for no reason. As you said, mannerisms, patterns of speech, the type of items found in the staff room...
It is not a coincidence that we made this assumption. Rather, we were taken in by something deliberate. A word that someone has used that I find useful here is "actor."

[ frowns... ]
So... you think they're not who we think they are, they're someone else pretending to be... that person?
[ oh he hates this theory if he's understanding it correctly. ]
What... would be the reason for that? To trick us into telling them private stuff, or...

Yes, but I'm not sure the purpose is to trick us. Here's where it gets complicated.
Some of the notes, the handwriting on them, we've managed to determine the handwriting belonged to Aquila and Aquarius. But the diary and the notes seem to have been written by a...different Aquarius than the one that's here.
That is, our theory is that the person they're pretending to be really was here at some point. In a prior round.

[her expression is definitely upset.]
Yes, I think that's likely. At least one of the "real" ones, the cannibal, was described by the letters the dead sent. So I wouldn't be surprised if all are dead.

I can't tell from the letters how many of them there are. If they're locked away somewhere or just...gone. I wrote Hope to see if he could help but I don't have a lot of optimism.
But as for the staff, I - just because they aren't quite who they seem to be doesn't mean they're untrustworthy. Gemini seems quite...nice. Especially when they stop pretending.

Every so often. It's not a good idea to talk to them about this, but if they know you know, sometimes they act a bit different.
[ nods ]
Okay... because I'm pretty sure they knew I knew who they were supposed to be, but... I never had any reason to doubt it once I thought that, since all the things that seemed weird to me at least lined up with what you guys said about them.

Yes. I didn't doubt it until I saw the memories and I can tell you, it was quite a shock. I moped about being duped for a week.
Oh, Sebastian. I'm sorry.
[she never liked marie because of her (harrow's) mean girl energy but enough of sebastian's friends have died]

Y-yeah, me too.
[ he sighs. he wasn't terribly close to her, but still. ]
I should've invited her to stay with me last night. Even if it... wouldn't have stopped what happened, I... just wish I'd been a better friend to her. She'd really been through a lot.
