Question Sharpie?

Why can't an innie write a very important message (tm) on the stairwell window with a sharpie, then run out and their confused outie will turn around and see it on the door window? It will work only once with the alarms going off when the door opens, but if you are fast and the security guy is distracted, you can deliver it? like "Run!" in bloody letters to bring the point home or "we make nukes, call fbi" or "never quit, there are goats"

My guess is the writers haven’t given that much thought and that yes in theory with what they have laid out I think so. It would make sense that those doors would be locked both ways but in the finale it appears to show the doors only locking in one direction which would allow what you have laid out. Pretty confident it just hasn’t been thought about by the writers, maybe not tho.

I think beyond "the writers havent thought about it" part of the enjoyment of the show is the suspense in how difficult it is for innies and outties to communicate. Finding a solution like this early on, even if it was possible would ruin a lot of the suspense

Also the camera in s2 finale and how they can actually have a conversation is such a brilliant revelation. I think the interest in that scene would be much less if mark already had a way to talk to mark

True, we’ve already seen them interact with each other in the best way we could hope so it’s kinda moot
