[He's walking more or less okay! He looks a little wan, but as if he's gathered himself a little better now they're walking]
Nobody has memories. We engage in games to get them back... games are run by 'Judges'. Nobody knows their motivation. Games have a huge variety of shapes and goals and can't really be predicted, but they tend to be cruel. There are fourteen regular teams and the black team, who work for the Judges. We all have assigned colours. Ours are the newest teams, only just filling up. Teams are to be treated as "family". Daily life can be tiresome and full of terrible choices.
Rules... No punching walls. No trading food or other things with teams except your partner team. No sleeping with other teams except your partner team. Don't sacrifice yourself in a game. Don't go to the pillar without a member of the black team. Another last rule I'm supposed to ask you about. I'm supposed to ask you about the pillar as well. You're Corvus's leader.
[Nothing wrong with his memory, anyway. ...But he seems much more tired all of a sudden after saying that much]
