I’m reading along
I have finished this part
I’m still reading the book but I haven’t reached this part yet
I am no longer/not reading the book
Be careful not to read past the limit! A lot is happening and it’s easy to miss! I ended up reading most of next week by accident
I also didn’t expect my headline for this week in the home thread to hit so close to home!

Yeah, I really wasn’t expecting… that

I can’t help but wonder if the real reason they can’t get out because one of them is carrying something from the road. Or maybe even the bandages or the bullet…not sure what counts
Given the stopping point, I really want to!

I was actually also thinking that maybe the bullet was still stuck somewhere, which was why they couldn’t get out

I sadly cannot say anything, since I know the answer from reading (most of) next week’s part

I’m expecting an S-grade sensationalist introduction for next weeks reading
Also, just discovered that +-
becomes ±, which is pretty cool.

That sounds like what would happen in a sensationalist introduction to me

Still reading through this week’s portion, but 皮膚感覚 is my first word(s) of the story where I had to go look up the English definition, too.
cutaneous: relating to or affecting the skin

Wow one of my predictions came true! Or, maybe anyway.Considering that the water they drank last night has probably been at least partially put to use as tears/blood/etc, they could be in quite a bind. I really like the restriction that even photographs can’t be taken out, that’s a pretty cool way of emphasizing that the rules are very different here.

I’m pretty sure that water comes from outside, since there’s no source around. But, yeah, I guess it would be a problem if you swallowed a small rock or something.

I read that bit as meaning you couldn’t take the photograph in the first place (I’m imagining an all black/all white picture when you develop it).

Right. Assuming you take it with your smartphone, I think nothing (or “outside”) would show on the screen.
