[accidental video]
[Most of the feed is obscured by an object; it seems to be a desk or table, since a corner shows a bit of floor and a foot, in what could be a wool sock. That sock is inconsequential, and the same could be said of the black boot beside it; what’s important here is the anklet over that sock. It’s not decorative so much as it is a functional device, being steel, slightly clunky, and possessed of three little green lights. One’s blinking, and the thing beeps softly at intervals.]
I’ve seen stranger, but still.
[It’s V, apparently speaking to himself. There’s a reply regardless, sounding something like a music box being shaken; Kant, inquisitive. The feed trembles for a moment.]
If I can’t have it off, I can try to turn it off.
[That was probably directed at the birdbot. The feed shakes again, and six small talons come into view for the second before Kant’s weight unbalances the book. There’s a glimpse of V, seated, a wing, that anklet glowing red-hot and sparking, and then the video cuts.]
