[The video feed turns on and here's Ritsuka looking tired, but determined. Like what probably is a fair number of you, he didn't sleep very well last night-or at all, really. It's one of those instances where he looks like the youngest little old man you've ever seen, a combination youthful inexperience and time old responsibility. There's a heavy weight on this kid's shoulders, but he's used to it. Resigned to it. At this point, there isn't any difference between the two.
He's dressed to go out, his coat thick and warm. Mittens , boots, and earmuffs secure. This is a boy with a mission.]
I've been meaning to settle in a bit more before doing this, but I guess now is the best time.
We all know a lot of people were hurt badly yesterday by that-that person. Friends and family members included. I hope the Watch and those after him will find him soon before more people can get hurt.
[A beat.]
I… well, I'm not a fighter. But I don't want to just sit here. I want to help. And I'm sure there are those of you who can't fight, but want to help out, too. You can join me then. The clinic is probably swamped with patients and they'll need help. That's where I'm headed now.
To John Watson, Naomi Kimishima and the other doctors in charge of the clinic: I hope you don't mind. I do have experience in basic first aid and-[A brief uncomfortable look.]-in dealing with more severe wounds. Overall, I would like to help in any way I can. Thanks.
If you want to come, it's best to say so now, so we can go as a group. It's safer that way, obviously.
