Video: Late afternoon

[crimsonpuppeteer]

[It had been some time since the young girl had used her NV. It had remained mostly forgotten in her effort to find a place to settle in. Now that things were starting to look up for her, she'd remembered about it. She sits close to the camera, letting little of the room she is in show. Unlike the previous time, she doesn't seem to be outside. Nor does she seem to be in quite as bad a mood as before.]

Bored.

[She drums her fingers on the desk in front of her.]

Bored. Nothing to do. No one to talk to.

[She sighs.]

Didn't think it would bother me. But it seems to.

[She turns her eyes away from the camera, as if looking at it annoyed her.]

I'm not the youngest person brought here, am I? Surely there must be others my age. It might be interesting, for once, to actually have friends.

[Her hand reaches for her NV.]

Not that I really need them.

[The feed cuts out.]

002 - Video, backdated to afternoon

[ Here's Jesse again, but this time he is smiling, clearly excited. ]

It's been forever since I've been to a water park. Those are the best in summer. I've already gotten my swimming trunks.

Is anyone going?

ELEVEN ☤ { VIDEO }

[He meant to turn this on voice, but he's so used to video that he puts it on that. Tenma doesn't notice it at first; he looks worried, even a little scared. He's sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital, but his place of food is untouched, and he looks like a mess.]

I...I'm unsure of what to do with a problem I have. It's not really something I can let everyone know, but I...

[He stops, looking down at his NV. He realizes then that it's on video, and he attempts a smile, but it doesn't seem to really work.]

There's so much good in this city. I know so many people who are honest, decent people. But then there's people who hurt just for the sake of hurting. They think that the lives of some people are worth more then others. That's what those people did, when they manufactured that virus. They thought... [He breaks off, sucking in a breath.]

Has anyone been forced to make a decision that they don't think is right? But when I mean forced, it's being given a choice between two things, both of which aren't good. You don't have to do it, but if you don't do it, it could have consequences for people.

This is almost worse then back home...

I guess I...don't know what to do. I took an oath to help people. That's what we as doctors do. I never signed up to hurt anyone, that's not what I would ever want to do.

[This text is added to the bottom of his post a few hours later.]
