Message from David
- This was produced by June's printer all on its own.

- Shining the blacklight received in Episode 1 on the back of the bottom half reveals messages in the otherworld language.
-
Once deciphered, the messages read:
- "I'M GETTING BETTER AT THIS. MY SHADOW AND THE SOUND OF MY FOOTSTEPS CAN CRAWL OVER TO YOUR SIDE. SOMETIMES MY WORDS. IT'S HARDER TO SHIFT MY BODY."
- "I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE CROSSING OVER. THE DARKNESS IS RACING AGAINST ME, AND IT'S WINNING. I'M SO TIRED. BUT I WON'T GIVE UP, BECAUSE SHE'S WAITING FOR ME. FIND ELIN. SHE CAN HELP BOTH OF US."

In the profile of David Griffith from Episode 1, the words can be decoded as:
- "BRIGHTSTONE"
- "ALWAYS"

On the miner's postcard from Episode 2, the message can be decoded as:
