[Some people will recognize this odd man with a hole in his head. But today, well, maybe it's just the video quality, but he's got a different energy about him? It's hard to pin down why. Maybe he's standing a little straighter.]

Um... I've been lucky to get to know a lot of you better over the past month. People have been very kind to me, and I'm grateful. But... I've remembered some things. And I know now that it's not fair of me to keep this to myself. Before I came here, I drilled holes in people's heads. Two of them survived but six of them died. I don't plan on drilling anyone else unless they want me to, but if you don't want to be around me because of this, I understand.
[Closing his eyes a moment.]

On a different note, I want everyone to know that I love Grell Sutcliff and one day soon I'm going to marry her! That's all.
[He's really gonna follow up that first thing with this?]

Maybe sometimes? But the place I was before... I think some of my friends wouldn't have talked to me if they'd known what I did at the start. Since they'd already gotten to know me they were more willing to be flexible in how they thought of me, I think.

[notgrande]

Maybe. I guess it depends on the people you want to befriend.

[holeful]

Well really I don't feel like I'm in any place to be choosy?

[notgrande]

Anyone is allowed be choosy about their friends.

[holeful]

I mean some people haven't really had many friends until recently? So...

[notgrande]

Oh. So you're desperate?

[holeful]

I guess? Or rather I was told once that I need to "raise my standards" so maybe it's more that.

[notgrande]

It can be both.

You don't raise your standards because you're desperate.

[holeful]

Haha that's true!

But I actually have been able to make a lot of good friends here and on the ship without changing anything at all really!!

[notgrande]

That's good. Friendship is important. Especially when you don't know how long you'll be in a place like this.
