Seventh Firefly - [Video]
[Video]
[When the video turns on, it shows Seto sitting on the couch in his apartment, surrounded by dirty, old looking items. Most of them are books and others could just be considered junk; shoes, an empty glass milk and soda bottle, letters, a deflated balloon, a tin can, etc.

[ Unaware of the circumstances in Seto's native world, Firo can't figure out what's going on. But even he's not dense enough to miss that something's wrong. Seto's a nice kid; he's found out that much, and so Firo doesn't want to leave him alone when he's that upset. ]
Hold on a second, I'm comin' over.

[That's all Seto's going to say, his door is unlocked so he doesn't have to worry about getting up. So he pulls his knees closer to his chest, just burying his face in them]

H-hey.
[ Perhaps his haste wasn't such a good idea; he doesn't know what to say yet. Instead he hesitantly drapes an arm over Seto's shoulders. ]

Why did it have to happen to all of them?? It's not fair! They knew they were going to die and yet--yet they didn't do anything to stop it...]

Seto... Who's this about? Who was that person on the phone?
[ He really hopes that it wasn't someone in Seto's family. He doesn't think about it much, but he can remember how bad that feels, especially when you're a kid. ]

[Is it a phone? Seto has no idea but if Firo called it that then he will too. But he glances at the phone that's beside him on the couch, the girl's face still stuck in his head]

[ He tries to figure out how that could've happened. A few moments later he shakes his head as if to clear away those thoughts. Knowing how it happened isn't going to help Seto. ]
Is she somebody you knew?

[He places his hand down on top of it, running his fingers over the cracked screen, smearing some of the dirt on it]
Reply
[ He's trying to figure out why Seto would care about someone he never knew deeply enough to be this upset. ]
Reply
[That's the only way he knew about anyone in his world]

How? Did they all make recordin's like this?

[In fact that's the only one where other people can hear it. Seto finally unfolds himself and leans forward towards the coffee table, grabbing a dirty, old looking woman's shoe. It looks brown but it really used to be white. He grips it a little and bites his lip as her voice starts to ring through his head]
I can hear a woman's memory...through this...

I don't... How do you do that?
[ For the moment Firo's mind is too swirling with turbulence for him to properly prioritize his questions. ]

[His eyes close as he listens to the mother's dying words, rubbing his thumb against the side of it]
People lock a part of their hearts inside some items, something that may have been really important to them. Or something they died with... and when I pick up those items, I can hear their voices, see their faces... and feel what they feel.

[ He wants to say that that's ridiculous or crazy, but hasn't Seto given him proof enough already? Firo doesn't believe in the supernatural, but it's clear even to him these objects have some sort of effect on Seto.
Reaching over, Firo tries to gently pry the item from Seto's hands. If these things pain Seto that much he shouldn't be touching them. ]
