[Video] Monster Warning
[Kousuke appears on the screen, covered in dust and sweat and blood. If you look closely, you can see the trails his tears have left in it. But he gives a wan smile anyway. Anyone who's seen his real smile could tell what a pale imitation this one is.]
Uh... Hey, hey everybody. I'm Kousuke Nitoh. I, uh. I'm calling you on my way back from the outskirts of town. I gotta tell you something important...
[He sighs heavily, leaning up against the wall of a half-ruined building.]
There's a monster in town, a Phantom. It, uh, well, the easiest way for me to explain it is that it... killed Haruto.
[He looks immediately despondent, having said those words. He quietly repeats it.]
Haruto's dead. The Phantom stole his body, and it's walking around lookin' like him. So if you see him, don't talk to him. Phantoms usually don't kill people, other than the ones they're inside... But he'll try to feed off your despair.
[He starts walking again, looking around awkwardly.]
It's my responsibility to kill him. I gotta do this. But if anyone could help me keep people back while I fight him, or like... Just help me out. I have to deal the final blow, though. My life kind of depends on it.

[He chuckles lightly at his own understatement.]
If you can help me pinpoint his location, I'd be really grateful. I dunno how long it's gonna take me to find him...

But I can promise to divine as well as I'm able. If something occurs, you'll be the first to hear.

[He's a little too worked up, he takes a deep breath and calms down.]
Sorry. Thanks for your help, miss... I'll keep the channel open.

You don't think you need to kill him?

Where did this Dragon come from?

[He's clearly really uncomfortable and nervous and upset.]
I mean, it probably woulda just put it off, you know. I dunno...

It'll all be OK when I get rid of Dragon. He'll come back. I gotta believe that.

Re: video;
oh wow i just noticed this should've been permavoice on her end
It can be a heavy burden, but I understand the responsibility it requires. Sometimes we must be the strength for those we love that they can be strong for everyone else.
oh sorry permavideo on here THERE FIXED
[Then he pauses and blinks and throws his hands up.]
N- I mean, me and Haruto aren't like that, though. He's my rival! My rival!! So, like, I gotta help him out cos when he's not on the ball I got nothin' to aim for, right?
