[She knew it. Good thing that she was up late, reading and having a last cup of tea, her device went off.

Hoo boy, there it goes.]

Hello Migi! You can send everything in one entire message if you want. I learned that myself, when I arrived.

[Just so her device won't be going crazy.]

You could smell the death of them. To every normal sense, the corpses looked like the dead-strangely well preserved, even with the sent of rot. Unclothed, and they'd been shaved. They looked terrified.

It was as if they'd died scared.

Same for the initial pile as it was for the...best I could call it the corpse road leading away from there.

But they were slightly different, as some were semi active and aggressive.

[ Migi is nothing if not adaptable, and if he's being told that sending things all at once is how it's meant to be done -- that's what he'll do.

.... Except now he doesn't even separate by lines. It's just one huge block.... What's worse, notification spam or an eyesore of question spam? ]

Shaved... Terrified.. That is concerning. It is almost as though they were murdered. But you are saying that they were like dolls, not human. How could they smell like rot if they weren't organic? I heard someone else mention this road of stitched-together bodies. Whomever did this accomplished an incredible feat. Aggressive? Do you mean that you were attacked?

[She's not even sure tbh.]

you can also press the enter key, the arrow down and facing to the left to separate thoughts.

It did look like they were murdered but-it was as if, once they were photographed through my camera, that they weren't real. They're transparent in the photographs themselves.

But even while I was taking it, I could smell them.

I think a reasonable theory is to say they are meant to react like humans in the physical sense, but they're not human.

And yes. I was attacked. They were armed with thread and needles, and could not communicate.

Separate thoughts... to make it more conversational. I see.

[ While he's certainly interested in the conversation about the sinkhole, Migi's always thinking about multiple things at once. And learning more about how humans communicate is just as interesting to him.

...Which means he's now seeking an impromptu lesson in How to Human from poor Rei. ]

Is this also the purpose of the little symbols that can be used? The ones with faces and random objects?

[ Shinichi doesn't use emoji so he has no idea. ]

Your theory seems to go along with the notion that all of this has been orchestrated by someone, intentionally. I would be interested in seeing your photographs sometime.

And also easier to read, for the writer and the reader.

[She's pretty sure Migi can read faster and process more, if only by the sheer volume of questions he peppered out. But well. He's trying. That's something.]

I think they're supposed to express emotions? I'm not really sure, I'm before global wireless phone use.

[Let's hope Migi doesn't go to Chloe for emoji use...that might make it so everything is eggplants.]

Yes and no. It could be that they're constructs, and they're there because they're expected to be there. Like how if you were dreaming of a garden, you would expect there to be trees in a garden, but they're blurry.

Or how you're in a movie theatre, and you're surrounded by people, but you don't see their faces.

I've an extensive collection. Some of them are still in place at the gallery in town, showing the Unmasked world compared to the regular world if you're interested.
