MEMY9 - parallel-perspective

As my consciousness fades to and from, I notice that the shed seems
to change.

It... ages in strange ways, rapidly as well.

If I were to look at the computer while drifting to sleep, I can see
the flora that has once claimed it regress to nothing but a sprout on
the grass beneath the desk.

If I were to look at the computer while drifting to sleep, I can see
a conversation taking place as my eyes grow heavier.

It seems to be one side of a conversation, but I have seen entire
discussions never seen in any of the memos placed in The Owner's
rooms... where are they from?

MEMO1A - coin-flip

i've asked it to make a few copies of my key, just as a precautionary
measure.

█████, wouldn't just one be enough?

That's... sure, whatever, where did you ask it to place them?

Okay, but I feel you're neglecting the main thing... like,
███████████?
[edited by autologging]

...right, I'll stop bringing it up for now then.

Figured what out, the thing about the key?

Oh, that's shocking... though, I'm concerned about whether it would
notice an entirely
new area suddenly appearing or not.

Interesting.

As you know, my knowledge on The Jouse is rather limited compared to
yours, so... where do you think the furniture came from?

Oh, alright.

Stay safe, █████.

MEMO2A - snow

i could try hiding it away, but my main concern is whether or not
it'll notice an entire variant missing.

Funny, I recall bringing that up the last time we spoke.

Has it noticed yet, or are you going to keep playing with the ticking
time bomb that is your personal key?

You didn't need to word it like that, █████, you know that's just
how I get.

If you want some reassurance, try taking to Barry while things are
still rough between you two... or do you feel like apologizing now?

Try as I might, any attempts to read these memos fail.

try as i might, any attempts to get closure fail.

try as i might, any attempts to repair the computer fail

this is all a cruel joke and im the punchline

[AND AS THE WANDERER DRIFTS INTO THEIR MIND DUNGEON, AN OBSERVER
 VOICES HER CONCERN]

i feel bad for them.

What was that?

oh, right, you can't see my rooms.

there's... someone trapped in the one outside the heart.

i didn't realize how much of myself was put into these later ones
past the point of no return, but it's been a living hell for this
new person.

...they also have been talking to themselves as they wandered the
halls of this place, as i'm sure you've noticed.

Oh, that person...
yes, I do recall
them speaking
aloud.

I had sensed
a general loss
of direction
from that one,
it was a shock
to me how they
managed to get
a copy of your
key.

...what are
they doing now?

this one spends most of their time asleep in the shed,
actually... i didn't think that would be possible given how we
don't really need to do that here.

though, i've noticed that the computer inside is completely
overgrown in red and purple flowers, rendering it useless.

even stranger, the flowers... grow in reverse when they
are getting sleepy.

the computer flickers on for a moment before they fall
asleep, and i can see bits and pieces of a conversation
kim and i had, but from her side instead... peculiar.

i feel really bad for them, jouse.

they occasionally bring up how being trapped there is
a fate worse than death when drowning in their sorrow
after awaking from a bad dream... or reliving a memory,
as they claim to experience.

am i a bad person for doing this?

...I do not think
you would have
been able to
foresee the
effects this
room would
have on a
person when
they sleep,
but...

None of us
here are
exactly good
people, █████.

I'm sure you
know this by
now.

We have all
acted poorly,
be it on
purpose or
not, but we
still have
grown from
the missteps.

You are not
a bad person,
or at least I
do not believe
so.

...you're just saying that because it's what you think
i want to hear, right?
