But when I remove my hands, more blood comes out. Or hair.

It’s pathetic whimpering of your name is shortening my temper.

Derek's intro video is now public! this is part of a short series where i introduce the main cast of my animated series, MECHFIA. :) please subscribe to the channel if you want to learn more about the series, because i'll be posting more intro videos soon!

Derek's voice sounds tired.

> Tumblr doesn't allow videos to be send through the inbox or DMs. So this is as close as I could get without giving private information to you.

> I don't care if you listen in, Lucia, but this is for Avery. So you better make sure Avery is able to hear it.

His tone changes, slightly happier. It still sounds forced.

> Hello, love. Um... Miranda is with me right now. I almost did something stupid when I found out where you were. She and Kalei stopped me... I kinda wish they didn't.

> I know you're trying to protect me. But please don't get yourself hurt for that. We talk about it a lot online already, don't we? For whatever reason. So it's not bad if you... need to tell them something. About me. About him.

> I don't want you hurt any more than you already are. I love you, Avery. I would rather you be safe than keeping my secrets. Especially with... what we know they can do. Don't push it, please.

> I love you. I'll see you soon, okay? I promise. We can still make those cookies.

Oh.

I finished with it before I got to show it this call. I found it charming, though uninspiring.

Don’t you have something better to do?

I am easy to find. And dangerous to find.

It’s your own funeral.

It’s for science.

We currently need it. Apologies for any disruption to regular daily routine.
