[maoa]

[ it was. it's still something she's working through. or had been, until she'd been brought to the mansion. and then followed the people here. ]

i'm okay. i lived. so did my sister.

[ she's still not sure about mindy, chad, or gale. she hopes they did. ]

for a really long time i stayed away. i wanted to keep her safe. from me.

[longlegs]

it must have been really hard to stay away

was she happy to see you again? despite everything?

[maoa]

eventually. but she was angry, too, for a while. our - we don’t have the greatest mom.

[longlegs]

sorry. i'm glad you had each other.

i haven't seen my family in a while
i mean, before i even came here

[maoa]

i’m sorry to hear.
unless that’s for the best, but I’m still sorry for it in that case.

[longlegs]

it's part of the contract i'm in
i can still go see them but i'm kind of not supposed to
and they forget me while i'm gone
i think that's to make sure they don't go looking for me or something

[maoa]

i guess that’s smart of them.
really fucked up thing to do to you, though.

[longlegs]

it happens to all of us in the organization
to make it easier for our families too, i guess
that way they don't have to miss us

[ That's one way to cope. ]

at least i could still go see them every now and then, you know?
not much we can do about that here

[maoa]

yeah.
i miss tara. but i wouldn’t want her here.

the woods tried tricking me into drowning by showing her to me.

[longlegs]

you too?
i mean, it didn't happen to me
it happened to teddie
i had to pull him out

[maoa]

geez. i wonder how many others.
although i guess it doesn’t matter as much at this point.

[longlegs]

not unless we all go back the same way, i guess

are you going back? whenever we manage to get out of this place?

[maoa]

[ god, that’s the question, isn’t it? there’s a long break between messages. ]

if we still can’t get home and there’s enough people who decide to return?
yeah, i think so.

[longlegs]

i'm going to return to saltburn
even if i have to do it alone
i can't leave theo by himself anymore

[ read: can't stay away from him. ]
