Chapter Two: The Correspondent



"That's very impolite!"

(*Noise)

"Next listener."

[Communication Channel 1]

"Turn right."

"Ha, that poor host? Every mail carrier knows her show, and sometimes people call to prank her. It's so rude. Don't do that either."

"Oh, right, your phone was confiscated a long time ago."

[Communication Channel 2]

(*Tranquil)

[Communication Channel 5]

"Current channel is under maintenance (*noise)"

"It's getting more and more powerful, and containment is becoming more (*noise)."

"Please wait patiently for the channel to be restored."

[Communication Channel 6]

"you."

Why don't you turn around and look at me?

"Did you see that?"

"No."

"Go see, go see, go see, go see!"

[Communication Channel 6]

"Welcome new friends to our storytelling session."

"Our queue is very long! Our queue is very long!"

(*laughter)

"You will join us someday."

(*Whispering)

"You don't have to look back, you don't have to look back."

"There will come a day when you will be able to stop looking back."

"We warmly welcome our new friends!"

"Your nails will belong to me."

"Your hair will belong to me."

"Your eyes will belong to me."

"Your skin will belong to me."

"Where will your flesh and blood belong???"

(*laughter)

[Communication Channel 2]

Is anyone home?

"Oh, it's you."

"I'm so sorry I yelled at you so much earlier, I'm really sorry..."

"Well, nothing bad has happened to me. I'm still moving forward. It's just that the communications officer has stopped talking."

"Okay, actually I'm a coward. I really don't want to get involved in other things, and I haven't listened to any other channels either."

"No! Don't tell me what you heard... please."

"What you want to do, what you want to investigate, none of that matters to me. I... I really don't care. I just want to go back safely, get the money, and pay off my debts."

"Yes, I'm a coward. But isn't that normal... We came here for money anyway."

"You can keep listening. I'll stay on channel 2. We can continue chatting, but let's not bring up anything else."

[Communication Channel 3]

"They say it's all for the world, what a ridiculous reason."

"They always have a reason, but they are just trying to survive. The best way is clearly to die, but they don't want to die, even if it's their destiny."

"So they fed, fed the monster, endlessly satisfying its needs until containment personnel arrived."

"They are afraid that one day it will come out."

"It was bound to happen sooner or later."

"They deceive, they spread rumors, they drag people down with them."

"They're crazy, they're lying."

"Of course I know everything. I saw the cliff on the packaging box. I'm the packer."

"We all (*noise)."

(*Tearing sound)

(*Tranquil)

[Communication Channel 1]

"You are the postman with the most problems I have ever met, bar none."

"Turn right."

"After you finish this job, I'll introduce you to the packer position. I do know a few people who are very passionate about their work, don't worry about anything else, and most importantly, don't talk nonsense."

Do you really think all of this is important?

"All I can tell you is... your salary isn't just high for nothing."

"I'm doing this for your own good, even if you don't trust me."

"Turn right."

[Communication Channel 2]

"Ugh, I really hate the last part of the road, it gets more and more winding—"

[Communication Channel 1]

"Turn right."

[Communication Channel 2]

"It's spinning too fast, faster and faster, all the way to the right, all the way—"

[Communication Channel 1]

"Turn right."

[Communication Channel 2]

"Everyone will feel dizzy."

[Communication Channel 1]

"Turn right, cross the intersection, and then wait where you are."

[Communication Channel 2]

"But actually, this whole road is pretty strange... It keeps going right and right, but it's not exactly going in circles. Maybe it's one of those big circles surrounding smaller circles?"

"You too? There's more than one bad place like this."

"I don't think so. If we were in the same place, we would run into each other quite a bit."

"Finally, this trip is coming to an end."

[Communication Channel 1]

"Move forward and confirm that the package is still intact."

"Don't take it apart."

[Communication Channel 2]

(*Tranquil)

[Communication Channel 4]

"The warning for today has ended. Postmen who heard this, please get out of there as soon as possible."

"Remember: They are all lying to you, they are all crazy, they have bad intentions."

"They, they, they—"

"Today's warning is over, it it it it it it it—"

(*Noise).

"Come."

"Come to me."

[Communication Channel 3]

"It did it itself, it did it itself, it did it itself."

"It's starting, it's starting, we all have to kneel down."

(*Whispers and laughter)

"Cliff, cliff, cliff, cliff, cliff, cliff."
