[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.]

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.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Eh? Then, what can he...

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

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

[Video]

[material_guy]

Of course it matters!

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

I don't understa, why does it matter?

[Video]

[material_guy]

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

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

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.

[Video]

[material_guy]

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

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

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.

[Video]

[material_guy]

...Win.

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

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

[Video]

[material_guy]

So yer already prepared to lose?

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

Not really...

...Actually I don't know what to expect so I'm just going to keep a level head.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Normally I'd say he's already expecting that and ahead of you, but yer pretty sharp...

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

Well I could probably guess at the card he's going to play, my guesses can be pretty good sometimes.

[Video]

[material_guy]

He probably knows you know and he's expectin' you to be prepared for it. He's yer old man. He shouldn't underestimate you on the opening move...

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

He won't, I don't expect him to pull his punches. He's never been the paternal sort and I've never known him to be very affectionate. I'm sure he'll use his aces against me.

[Video]

[material_guy]

Right. His aces. Like...

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

Well, I suspect he'll use my Oma's condition against me...maybe. If I'm not just concocting some vicious situation in my head, but I have no reason to start trusting him now.

[Video]

[material_guy]

You lose the right to worry about anything but her after three days, so put it off that long at least. Then he can't make you think of anything but her after that, so...

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

We'll see how things go since I still have three days. If I'm good I might be able to get him to see reason, but I'm thinking worse case scenario.

[Video]

[material_guy]

You're so negative.

[Video]

[glimmerous_fop]

It's difficult being positive, but I'm making an effort. I know I'm only thinking about the worse case scenario which means I'm preparing for it...but it also means that I know that there's a chance that I'm making a big deal out of it.
