Mole Check-In
On Monday morning, when Elise awakens in her room, the following letter can be found in a conspicuous location on her desk.
Miss Elise,
You seem to be a bright girl, and I've no doubt that you're eager to return home. While I can't terminate the exercise early without due process being followed in order to do it, what I can offer you is some degree of security or comfort for the duration.
I'm willing to grant you whatever you ask for – if it's material items you want, if they're available to me I can try to obtain them for you; if it's information you're seeking, regarding either this situation or the situation back home, I can offer you that as well. As long as it's within reason, I'll give you whatever you ask for.
However, nothing comes for free; in exchange for these favors, I'll ask you to give me something in return. It's nothing terrible, just a bit of information – if someone is talking about causing trouble or otherwise interfering with the exercise, or if they're deviating terribly far from some sort of normal routine, I would like to know about it.
I'm willing to help you get through this to the best of my ability. If you believe that to be worth it, I'll look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Just leave letters in the box at your convenience; once per week would be preferable.
Do consider this offer carefully; it's not one that I would extend to most.

Miss Elise,
I appreciate your acceptance of the offer; I imagined its value wouldn't be lost on you, and I'm pleased to know that that is, in fact, the case.
You'll be offered more information once you've given me some in return; for the time being, I can assure you that Mr. Sanchez is legitimately correct about the existence of different dimensions. The rest will come later - even exchanges are going to be necessary here.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to working with you.
