[After dusk on the evening of the second day, two people approach the entrance to the tunnels. One remains above, casually acting as a lookout, while the other slips into the tunnel once the coast is clear. A short while later, the following typewritten message appears on the journal.

For once, Minato has a lot to say, and the text (and the privacy) are necessary for making sure it works out.]

Hello, Luceti. My name is Minato Arisato. I'm using the secure network for this message.

We know that Kin'cora is just one of the enclosures outside of Luceti. Normally we don't get to see people from outside except on missions. Right now we have a special chance.

I've seen people on both sides getting angry about this situation. But the reality is, we are all on the same side. Every person in an enclosure is kept ignorant by the Malnosso. We still don't know much about what happens in this world beyond the war. Neither do the Kin'corans. And that's our chance. I want to ask everyone to try and befriend as many visitors as you can. They won't be here forever. That means they'll end up in other places. If they know they have people here willing to help them, we'll have the advantage.

Back home, I found power from making connections with strangers I could have ignored. It's the same here. Two enclosures are much stronger than one. We don't know when we might meet the Kin'corans again on a mission. If we do, we can exchange information. But if they are still afraid of us when that happens, they won't help.

I know it won't be easy. But we can't think of this as a problem. This is a chance that we can't waste.

Thanks for reading. If someone else has something to say securely, please go ahead. The Malnosso can't access this posting.

[And so ends the longest thing he's written since coming to Luceti. Maybe no one will listen. Maybe they will. But Minato is confident that something will change. Luceti is full of good people in a bad situation - just as Kin'cora must be. They have the power to work things out.]

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Minato. People are telling me not to trust the Kin'corans, but I've been trying to help them and explain things to them the best I can. Granted, they've been rebuffing my offers to help, but at least I'm trying. It seems their hatred of us is caused by how little they know about us, so I've been trying to clear up their misconceptions, but like I said... I've been rebuffed a lot.

They are in a tough situation. But now they aren't alone.

Well, they won't be alone if we can get people to cooperate. Our fellow Lucetians haven't been the most receptive, either. Maybe we should start some sort of meeting where we can explain ourselves to the Kin'corans... no, they probably wouldn't believe us. Maybe there could be an information exchange program between willing Lucetians and Kin'corans? We need to solve this information gap somehow so they'll trust us more.

[He sort of agrees about the meeting idea.] I think one-on-one is the best start. It's easier to see each other as people.

I was thinking of doing something like a meet-and-greet. But it'll be hard to get people to do one-on-one things there... maybe I should just stick to talking to individual Kin'corans?

For now, anyway.

Understood. It's a bit difficult to get to them when they tend to rebuff me, though.
