FOURTH CURSE: video

[cawsforalarm]

[When the video turns on, viewers are presented with a Henry surrounded by leaves, with the summer sun peeking in through the branches -- seems he's decided to climb a tree for this broadcast, or maybe he was just chilling here anyway. In either case, the expression on his face is uncharacteristically somber.]

Heya. So... this is going to be, like, Serious Business Time. [He glances off somewhere into the foliage. Honestly, it seems like he's not totally comfortable with the idea of Serious Business Time himself.] I've been kinda mulling stuff over, and I wanna hear all your responses! [The smile flickers back for a couple of seconds, but it's gone just as fast.]

What do you think makes someone a bad person? I mean, just for you, like I said. ...Traits or whatever are fine.

…

Yep.

[And that’s how the video ends.]

That's probably because you're far from the first person to wonder about this sort of thing. And you won't be the last. I know it's crossed my mind before.

It's hard to talk about, especially with someone you don't know very well...I think it's pretty brave of you to do to begin with.

you think? i dunno... for me it was more 'i have literally no idea what to do and i don't even care about people knowing at this point'.

but hey. bravery. maybe so.

Ah, well...there's always that too, I guess. At least there's always someone on the Network who will listen.
