[Walter has recorded a video message from the point of view of someone who has just come through the door into his cabin and sees Walter at his desk in the chair turned around to face the viewer. He gives a little salute-wave.]

Didn't get me. But nice try.

what's with the special effects?

[Between a luckier personal experience and the isolation of the situation, this is the first time Walter is starting to worry that something is seriously wrong for actual reassurance to be needed.]

probably the usual

wants to make us scared and lonely, see if we'll miss our wardens

LOL

🤯 wait!! Genius!! If I can't flag down a warden in the hallway I'll be forced to call one to buzz me into the hydrotherapy room / liquid therapy room / art therapy room / plant therapy room!!

[mukha]

oh yes, we must have our therapies. how else shall we heal? thank god for our generous wardens, willing to brave the fog for us. it would take a real piece of work not to want to open up and bear their soul after this. 🙄

[This is gonna give him a real chuckle when Malcolm proposes exactly that... Walter's starting to wonder if he bugged his cabin somewhere down the line.]

Really strange that baring our thoughts isn't literally happening in this so far. Are these the voices of other people or something? Doesn't seem like it to me.

I hear someone crying, but I just ignore it.

Creepy!

hey seeing you play around with the characters reminded me. I was thinking "printing press era" and "computer era" might be neutral enough terms to use for people here, but then I thought about when Gutenberg started his thing and that doesn't sound right?

[The rotary printing press might be a better fit to Walter's recollection of Pyotr's thinking that the dissemination of information through pamphlets and newspapers was changing rapidly...]
