[And the next day, there will be a response laid out on that table, the same as Sol's was on Monday. It's typed, though the first word seems to have been struck out by hand.]
Disc Miss Ashley,
The window for inquiries is always open.
To answer your questions in order:
1. I was not responsible for your injuries. Any marks or wounds you may have found on your bodies upon awakening were there when I received you.
2. Unfortunately, your request regarding the stepstools is not deemed strictly necessary, and as such it's been denied. The purpose of the exercise is to encourage the rest of you to interact and trust each other, remember; surely that can extend to reaching the upper shelves.
3. The food is certainly safe to eat, unless one of your fellow Participants renders it unsafe. I haven't tampered with it.
4. I can't offer you that information at this time. However, your attempt has been noted.
5. Your clothes weren't in any state to be worn around this facility at the time of your arrival. The uniform happened to be what we have here.
6. Your only direct correspondence is with me, yes. However, some have tried sending letters to others with the request that I send them out. I've told them that their request will be considered.
Believe me, I know better than to mistake formality for friendliness or kindness; any animosity you feel toward me is expected and quite frankly warranted, and I'm fully aware of it.
I wish you the best of luck in solving this particular puzzle, however - genuinely, not facetiously, as I understand it's difficult to tell via text.
