[As he switches the feed on Warsman seems closer to thoughtful than his usual melancholy, which already might seem a change for the positive. Stretched across a rather faded and too-small sofa, his balalaika is in his lap again while he tunes it. Having something to do with his hands seems to soothe his camera-shyness; he may be naturally soft spoken, but over his strumming his voice is calm and even.]

Have you ever noticed how some people have distinct ‘sounds’ that remind you of them instantly? It’s a little sentimental, I know, but I feel as though music brings me closer to the people who aren’t here. Even before I got here I spent a lot of time by myself, so I had to find ways to remind myself of the people I missed. But then, everyone has their own way of remembering people, don’t they? I’d be interested to know how other people manage it.

[He glances back to the window off-camera with a soft, peaceful sigh.] With the rain in the background, too… it’s nice, isn’t it? Though maybe some of you prefer sunnier weather…?

[The strumming pauses as he shifts on the cushions, and one might also notice scratch marks across his bare chest, which he absently pulls his poncho down to cover- inadvertently drawing attention to the twin scratches on his forearm in the process. He's stretched the preamble as far as it will go: time to get to the main point.]

There’s- there’s something else. I know it isn’t possible to leave the island, but does anyone know if it’s possible to retrieve objects from home? I lost a photograph a long time ago, before I even got here, and I guess I just started thinking about it again this past week. It’s a long-shot, but if anyone could help I’d appreciate it.
