It's as Vax said - we need to help the Residents realize they don't belong here, and important that we don't become complacent, or we might become stuck here as well. Apart from making sure to return the items we find on the adventures we go on to the Residents, Atsushi told me it might be important for them to talk to each other about leaving here or going home. He was also able to confirm that the Residents we have not met in person are with the dead, but it didn't sound like they've had their memories tampered with in the same way.
When we asked about the refractions, he confirmed they're caused by an imbalance in color. Evidently, one of the Residents killed another in the past, and the refractions may be an unintended side effect of this. I also asked him whether they had any ideas about how to bring those we've lost back to us, or about how we might all leave this place, and he did not answer, so I imagine he didn't know a sure way. But he did mention that the idea of risk, specifically risk that is used to change, may be important. He said that nothing will change if we continue to accept the Prism the way it is. Evidently, Chang Geng suggested destroying parts of the Prism and replacing it with our own creations - that there needs to be some kind of disruption each week if we want to gain control of this place.
[thinking, thinking...]
That being said, I would caution against doing anything drastic all at once. I don't want to make enemies of the Residents on this side by starting to destroy things immediately. Hopefully, we will receive more letters or notes that will confirm or clarify this idea... And Atsushi made sure to specify that when talking about destruction or disruption, he did not mean violence of any kind.
