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.]

...Yeah. I guess. [He nods. Another case in which total strangers outline him as an example of the morally bankrupt. His tone was dull before, but somehow it becomes even more so.] So the ones who just kinda carried on carrying on were the worst of the bunch.

Taking things to extremes... okay.

They were carrying on and not caring about listening to other people even a little bit, I guess. Listen, like I said, it's way complicated.


...You alright?

Nyaha, fine! [He smiles and shakes his head, despite the fact that he is pretty clearly not fine.] I just... have an extensive history of being That Guy, is all.

...Well, if you ever wanna talk about it in more, like, detail and stuff, I'm always up for it. I won't judge or anything.

...You mean it? [Henry's pretty sure that everyone would judge, not just Kirikou.]

Sure. I mean, seriously, I've... probably seen worse!

[The whole thing with Crona was pretty freakin' bad, after all.]
