[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?]

Comments

[holeful]

I've made you wait a whole month! That one time you even slept next to me without the proper accompaniment. I think you're long overdue.
[Remember when you got drunk and somehow ended up in Fukuda's bed? He does.]

[brightred]

[Oh. Oh she's in love.

She kisses him on the cheek.]

I am, aren't I?

[holeful]

[His tail is wagging at that kiss! You know. The tail he's definitely always had? Right? Right??? It's fine don't worry about it.]

Mm. And you know how I like to indulge you. I'm quite hungry myself.
[If you know what he means. He's pulling Grell in close because it seems like the manly and cool thing to do.]

[brightred]

Are you~

And what are you hungry for~?

[holeful]

Mm...
[Reaching to lace his fingers with hers, bringing one to his lips.]

These... and that one spot on your back that makes you feel good.
[Wag wag wag.]

[brightred]

Oh! [She says, a little gasp at that contact.]

You really did remember me.

[holeful]

[He laughs, a tinge of sadness.]

Did you think I hadn't really? I'm not a talented actor the way you are.
[But since He has Grell's hand he will start trotting back to the dorms with her in tow.]

[brightred]

I'm glad you remembered everything. [And it had felt too good to be true.]

[holeful]

Me too.
[His tail is going nuts.]

The last couple months of my life are worth more than the previous 33 years because you were in them.

[brightred]

Hey--! You can't just---!

[Grell makes an inarticulate noise, suddenly leaning forward to just bury her face against Fukuda's shoulder. A pair of huge blue wings suddenly explodes out her back, tearing through the blouse she's wearing in a burst of feathers.]

[holeful]

[He's confused because he wasn't trying to fluster her this time, he was just being completely sincere, but then if he was going to ask about it, it's forgotten because WINGS...]

Grell... you really are an angel after all.
[SAID AS IF THIS MAKES COMPLETE SENSE TO HIM.]

[brightred]

[She pulls back to look at him, still blushing but suddenly.... not happy?]

... I'll forgive you since you've never met an angel, but don't call me that ever again.

[holeful]

[He is confused!]

Is there something bad about being an angel?

[brightred]

They're obnoxious!

[holeful]

[Grell has met angels.... and they're disappointing apparently. Oh well.]

Hm... in that case I guess you'll just have to be my bluebird.
[He thinks that sounds nice too.]

[brightred]

[She turns, trying to look behind her to see what he's talking about, and then sees those feathers, the same blue as Fukuda's hair.]

Oh. They're beautiful.

[holeful]

Mm. I mean, I think it would be better if they were red, but any color would look good on you.

[If he noticed the particular hue he's not saying anything about it.]

[brightred]

Of course red would be best, but this... it isn't bad. It's your color, isn't it. I won't complain about that.

[holeful]

[He stares a moment before he puts two and two together.]

I... I started liking red because it made me think of you... but it didn't occur to me the reverse could happen as well...

[brightred]

[The big wings flutter behind her, but she's embarrassed now, so she's not looking at him.]

I'm going to be your... wife. [aaaaaaaa] so it's only fitting that I take something of yours.

[holeful]

[WIFE.... His tail wags at that.]

Well now I wish my tail was red like your hair...
[Then it would be equivalent. But even as he says this, as he holds Grell's hands in his, his own start to discolor, darkening until they seem to be... well, the only way to describe it is they look like they've been drenched in blood. That's the exact color.]

[brightred]

Well, I suppose we really are made for each other~

[holeful]

[Just examining his hands, perplexed but not like... mad about it.]

Aah. I can't imagine having been born for any other reason than to find you.
[Sincerely. Anyway, he's going to pick her up again!! He's a lot steadier on his feet than last time.]

Now come on, I have some stuff to show you.
[STUFF??]

[brightred]

[She's picked up??? And he says something like that??? She hides her face against his shoulder, wings fluttering.]

What kind of "stuff"? [She manages, after a moment.]

[holeful]

[He's a little bit stronger than he was before!! There's no way he's going to be able to carry her the whole way still, though.]

There's this big slug I like to go watch sometimes.
[Grell how much do you hate him.]
