[About five minutes after the explosion, this shaky video flicks on. His NV is on his wrist, and his hand is on Nill's shoulder, so at first there's a shot of an ash-covered wingtip and the billowing flames of the buildings behind them. He's talking to Nill at first, not the NV:]

Any apothecary types out there wanna help me out with something? Or, um, someone who's good with plants in general. There's some stuff I'm having trouble finding. I dunno if it's just not available in the city or if it's something that doesn't exist in this world.

[The NV flickers on when his wrist slams into the pavement. Yeah, guess who was rescuing people from the shoddy buildings of the poorer sectors? This guy.
