[Accidental Video] -7th Shadow- Get to me...
[The feed opens on Crmsn talking to a photograph rather abruptly.]
-even reminds me of Serre a bit...definitely has that same tenacity as the kids. You'd never think they'd run out of steam. I think you'd like her. She's gettin' married soon too...I know right? Never thought I'd have the chance to give someone away at least for another twenty years.
[He's sitting by the window of his room, half draped across the sill in the early morning light, with a stuffed purple rabbit nestled up in the crook of one of his forelegs, and smiling wistfully at a photograph.]
Hey love...It was Valentines Day recently y'know. Well...not what they call it here, but the sentiment is the same....
[He shifts a little and softly taps the photograph with a hoof.]
Wonder what you did for yours. Probably would have spent it in the lab, working on the next big project. Heh...y'know that's something I miss the most I think. Sitting back to back in the lab and knowing you were there. That any time I could just turn around and smile at you and...and you'd look over and smile back.
[His voice softens considerably.]
...I miss you, love. I miss the kids...I miss our home, and our friends. There's a big gapin' hole in my heart...I keep tryin' to fill it up, but after a while...there's just nothin' to grab onto. Isn't anything I can do about it either.
[He sniffs, then scoffs a little and covers his eyes with a hoof. Voice going from low to strained.]
I feel like I'm slowly losin' your face. I think that's the biggest hurt. All I have is this damn photo...this world couldn't even let it be normal...had to mess with it and make it different too. I think if it wasn't for that magic of yours I'd-
[He shifts to reflexively rub at his chest, a pained expression pulling across his face.]
You're so close and so far away. I can't reach you...m'not gonna stop trying though.
[He takes a shakey breath and lets it out hard...then pulls the photo up and gives it a gentle kiss. He settles on the sill, half cradling the picture and the rabbit protectively.]

[He scoffs a little and sighs, lightly rubbing at his forehead with a hoof.]
Sounds so short when I say it out loud...ya spend nine years waking up next to the same person every morning and...well...
[Visual]
Kind of, I dunno. I guess I'd always kind of think it'd be grating to have a person you woke up next to the next morning. Just that amount of...closeness. Just can't imagine it working. Never have been able to.
[The idea of being that close to a person. Of being so tied to another being that there presence is something you just tend to expect. To know them that well. To, in some cases, have to acquiesce to them in your own authority, give up things you want to do because of their own concerns.
That part of relationships has always confused Jappleack, always kind of intimidated her, in a weird sense. Still....]
But damn if someone can't make it work, I guess it has to really work.
We'll get you out of here, science man. That's a damn promise.
[Visual]
[He lets out half a laugh and smiles at her tiredly.]
I don't doubt it for a minute...but only if we all can be so lucky. Wife would never forgive me if I abandoned folks when I could still help...hell, I wouldn't forgive me.
[He blinks and reflexively goes to snap his fingers....stopping only briefly to give his raised hoof a flat glare, before looking back at Jappleack.]
Speakin' of...been meaning to tell you guys, we know the ingredients, and we can start makin' more of it.

[He laughs a little more cheerfully.]
After all, someone's gotta throw the block party if she's not willing to right?
