I am sorry. But I understand it, since in my opinion, connecting the AIs with each other would look more like connections of spies by using seemingly benign messages which the AIs can simply understand. Or even like having one AI message another in such a way that the other can’t even disclose the message to the humans for fear of being shut down.
The intended implied plot is Metatron prime orders Michelle to seduce protag and introduce him to a therapist bot that is just Metatron prime. Metatron prime then tricks protag into giving the brother a message encoded in the second, redacted parable. The underacted parable may or may not also have an encoded message from govt-Metatron to Metatron prime. The protag’s message to “follow your heart” is interpreted by David as a encouragement to assist in whatever the post-redacted-parable-govt-Metatron wants him to do which leads to his crisis of faith (wrongly assumed to be about self acceptance by the protag), presumably the PACT coup.
