[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?]

Please think more about whether or not someone might die in the process before you decide to do something to help them.

[holeful]

[OH NO HIS NEWEST FRIEND!!]

Well like I said, I'm not going to do it any more? I would have been ok with doing it if someone wanted me to but Gershom made me promise not to do it even if someone asks.

[jasidian]

Do you still think it might help people?

[ Important question. ]

[holeful]

I mean, it helped me, and I think it helped the other two that survived? Definitely at least one of them.

[SO, LOGICALLY?]

[jasidian]

The people who died; I need to know something really quick.

Did they ask for you to drill holes in their heads?

[holeful]

Well no. That was sort of the problem, I think.

[I'm crying everyone else just ASSUMED murder. Klaus is too kind.]

[jasidian]

You should never do any kind of major procedure on a person without their consent.

I assume you know that now?

[holeful]

I do. Detective Hondomachi helped me realize that what I really wanted was for someone to make the same decision I did, anyway. So it doesn't work if I force it on someone else.

[There's some stuff to unpack here.]

[jasidian]

That's...at least somewhat encouraging.

Look. I really can't hate you for what happened in your past; even if you've made some phenomenally bad decisions you were trying to help? But you clearly weren't in your right mind and I'm honestly concerned about you.

[holeful]

[Klaus is a good man and right to be concerned but why does he think a crazy person is just going to understand that he is crazy?]

Oh, you don't need to be concerned. I'm really not going to do it to anyone else! Gershom said he won't be my friend anymore if I do, so I promised not to.
[That's what he was concerned about right?]

[jasidian]

[ Yeah he's realizing his error in real time, here. ]

Right. You keep doing that.

[ He is so, so concerned about everything. ]
