Yes, it was. She said that she thought perhaps I wrote it because you received it... but I was not the one who wrote that note. I am sorry not to be of more assistance.
[ he unfolds the small note from his pocket, mulling quietly. ]
I only wonder why I might have received it... Perhaps it was just random circumstance, but if it was someone deliberately reaching out, then could it be someone I know?
You... are aware that most people here regard you as someone trustworthy, are you not? If it were sent to someone else, I would find myself wondering why it was not sent to you.
[ there's plenty more competent and trustworthy people around, he's not going to hold any illusion otherwise. ]
But I do want to be cautious with that trust. If, perhaps, this person can investigate the innocence of people here... I want to keep them safe as well.
...if that is the case, then - I am sure that person is being very careful. Certainly, they must know that such an ability would put them at great risk if it was discovered.
[ he's not sure how to accept that compliment, so he... doesn't. ]
I think so as well. I've been told it's likely someone's 'role' here... though we had no such things on the island, the others found the idea of anonymous notes quite familiar.
[ just another thing to get used to. ]
It wasn't sent by the directors, so if it is one of our number, I had considered that it was perhaps you or Yin Yu. But in any case, I think it's something we should keep in mind. The better understanding we have of the mechanics of this 'game,' the more likely we can win it.
Someone mentioned that possibility to me as well...
[she looks thoughtful - but at what he says about understanding the mechanics of the game, she nods.]
It is all rather a lot to wrap our minds around. But... if there is someone in a situation like that, I would certainly hope they are making use of the role they have stepped into to help us find a way out of this.

It's mild compared to our winters. But thank you. I won't take much of your time—I was wondering if Lili spoke to you already.

Is that how she put it? Yes, that was me.

No, please do not worry. It was worth her asking.
