[ he's done more complicated info dumps before, so why is this one hard?

he does, eventually, send it. it's in the vain hope that he's not wrong, that they can trust viola, that something will come of it. ]
- all four of us were at separate points across wiwaldi campus, but came together in the same location very suddenly as if we'd just stepped through to it: in front of a house in an isolated neighborhood. attempts to leave the neighborhood (done by bradley) at arrival resulted in looping back to the same point. all four of us had keys to this house, and felt the sense of "home" from it. there were no neighbors apparent at this point.
- entering the house, bradley went upstairs while alphinaud, manwol, and i inspected the downstairs. in the kitchen there was a burnt cake baking, filled with what would later be the same acid that we were attacked with - as well as a fridge full of rotting meat and dead insects and worms. in the garage were two cars with dusty boxes and broken miscellaneous equipment. manwol found a box of rotting meat inside one of the cars. alphinaud found a cell phone with messages from sakyou, nier, and someone that i know from my time before wiwaldi. i'm not sure what bradley found upstairs besides a loaded pistol.
- the entire time, we had the sense of an influence encouraging us to sleep and giving us the feeling of belonging, that the things we were seeing were normal. i succumbed to it when i went upstairs to find the charger for the phone, as it died in the middle of a call where a voice none of us recognized repeated "am i next? are you going to get me next? am i next?" i fell asleep in a room that was "mine," and it didn't feel right - until it very suddenly was, and i was asleep.
- upon waking up on the second day, we weren't ourselves. we were the version that had lived in that house for years, together. we'd gone on road trips, visited parks, taken pictures, been a family for years. and we spent those years [ ... ] killing people. i don't know how many, due to sheer numbers, but we were a group of serial killers. we massacred people on a bus, burnt down a mall, and left an infestation of bugs in this version of sakyou's home. i dreamt of killing someone that i knew from before wiwaldi and i enjoyed it, thought it was normal - i wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened to the others.
- we had a plan of killing people at a barbeque next door, after we had scoped it out for days beforehand. mandricardo was there, and injured from something that happened when he visited our house. we found lila and tsuyukusa dead. we killed nier. the same voice on the phone said "tomorrow. next. tomorrow. see you tomorrow. sleep." we set the house on fire and caused a gas explosion. we went home and slept as if nothing was wrong.
- the third day, we returned to normal, but with the memories of the years that had been overwritten onto us. something was playing downstairs on the living room tv, which manwol recognized and featured in. in the kitchen, the monster was what was waiting for us "tomorrow" - made up of rotting meat and the bodies of the people we'd killed. when we escaped, after it tried with borderline success to kill us, the neighborhood outside was so bright it was blinding, so i'm not sure which direction we ran in. the monster managed to get out and followed, but exploded, and we made it into the woods where we found the redacted reports and the piece of the map.
- returning to wiwaldi was when i learned that we had only been gone for a day, here, but time did pass there. i haven't made an attempt to leave the campus again to see if there's any way of getting back the way we came.
