[The video feed turns on to the sight of some street close to the Tower Apartments. It's not yet night, but the sky is beginning to look rosy from a setting sun. The person holding the NV moves in slow, meandering, and wobbling steps.]
I feel like... this is all a dream. And that I should forget everything else.
I should...
[A car drives by and honks; the sound startles the man enough to drop his NV. The device lands with a fleshy thump and rolls to expose Daniel, who is pressing himself against the side of a building, teeth grinding and knees wobbling. The young man's bruised, bloodied, and looking like he hasn't slept properly in a few weeks.]
D-d-don't forget... I can't forget who I am. They said that the Shadow can't follow me here...
My name is Daniel.
I lived at London, at... Mayfair.
[The sound of grinding molars grows in intensity as Daniel hugs an extinguished lantern to his chest.]
Those people at the field. They're wrong. The Shadow's hunting me.
I have to hide.
[After muttering to himself, Daniel looks tiredly at the NV.]
Agrippa...
[And the feed turns off.]
