[When the video cuts on Klavier can be seen kneeling in front of the laptop apparently aware that it's recording and with every intention of leaving a message, but he's simultaneously throwing clothing into a suitcase. The look on his face is borderline seditious so clearly he's ruffled about something, but he has no intention of saying anything until his case is packed and the lid is slammed shut. Satisfied by the haphazard job he turns to face the screen, if it weren't for a viciously crumpled up piece of paper sticking out of his pocket, he'd look nearly immaculate.]

Right...this thing...normally I wouldn't bother, but I may be out of touch and I don't fancy buying a new door. So, I'm going home for a while, I'm not sure how long and I may or may not be available...

[It appears as though he feels this information is sufficient enough so he ends the transmission and the screen goes blank.]

Are you getting your hopes too high? You'll only be disappointed if I end up doing all the dirty work before you get the chance. [He's kind of smiling now.]

[Click. Click.]

You'll be down for at least one day with jet lag.

You think my father would be that kind? A pain in the ass wouldn't normally wait for you to be ready.

[Greed makes a face, not in any rush to bring him back down when he almost seems to have perked up a little, but... Not saying what he thinks isn't one of his talents.] He's been trying to stall you this long. He'll probably take any excuse he can get to keep you out of it as long as possible.

That's a possibility, I won't deny it...I guess we'll have to wait and see how fully formed his plans are when I get there.

...

Hm?

He's a smallfry. You should be more worried about losing to me than dealing with him. How come when I challenge you you look all cocky but when it's him, you get like that?

I'm at least six times scarier than him.

Well...it's true, physically you've got the edge...and then when you make that face like you're ready to go in for the kill...it's pretty frightening. You wear me down mentally sometimes...but this is a man who knows how to wound my heart. That's what scares me.

You tellin' me he can do worse to you than I can do him? There's a screen saver of me boning his hot as hell wife! Or ex-wife. Or whatever.

I told you I can't really describe it, only that he is an unbelievable bastard. I don't think something like that would phase him, my parents have a business relationship.

I really don't want you to try and compete with him...I don't want you to be the same...

Your brother's a bastard and you like him! Shit, you'll like anyone no matter what shit they do to you or anyone else... But, this "unbelievable bastard." Just like yer brother, you probably like him, too. So for his sake, too...

My brother is a product of his environment, I hate what he's done and we're estranged now, but...there are other things...at least he took care of me when I was younger. Not like Oma, but still...I can't forget that...

I don't think it's a matter of like or not...but anyway, I'm not sure what it is you're trying to make me understand.

Stop making excuses. If you like someone, no matter how much of an ass they are, no matter how much they don't deserve it, no matter how stupid 'n easy it makes you, that's that! So if you like yer old man, beat him. Or he'll get beat by someone who don't like him.

I hate my father, Herr, there is no confusion there.

My heart is confused by my brother...I don't know what to say.

Eh? Then, what can he...

Does it matter? I have to meet him, I'm not saying it will be a pleasure, I just hope to end it soon.

Of course it matters!

I don't understa, why does it matter?

Just think of him as my fated rival and think of it as me looking for his secret attack.

Hn...well I can't really help you if weaknesses are what you're looking for. I try not to give him that much attention since I don't see him very often...that would be giving him too much credit.

I'm asking why he can hurt you. Does he know too much? Or does he matter even if you hate him? What?

Ah? No, usually it's because he knows that he has some kind of power over me. A power to make me do or behave however he wants if he feels like it.

...Win.

I'm not sure I would think about it like a competition...
