[ A rare video post for Hiro tonight - but then again, this is a rare occasion. He's already gotten past the initial crying phase, so he's just numb and a little blotchy more than anything else, but his voice still shakes a little when he talks. A plain bedroom backdrop, clearly from where he lives in Heropa.

He takes a deep breath. ]

Has anyone seen my brother Tadashi? He's - he looks like this - [ A picture of Tadashi flashes on the screen for a moment. ] - and I'm getting error messages from his comm. Nobody I've talked to has seen him and ...

[ His voice trails off to a whisper. He can't even get through a whole post without tears welling up in his eyes. ]

I just - I need to know, please. If anyone has any idea. I need to know he's still here. If he's not, then ... then he's ...

[ Ported out. And dead. ]

I'm sorry; I haven't seen him. But I'll keep an eye out, okay?

[microbrobotics]

Sure. Thanks.

[ He's just tired now. ]

[timecapture]

Even if he's gone, I've heard that people come back, right?

[microbrobotics]

... It's different with him. If he goes home, he dies.

[timecapture]

Holy shit.

[microbrobotics]

You see? It doesn't matter now.

[timecapture]

I'm gonna try looking for him. Was he in Heropa?

[microbrobotics]

In the house with Aunt Cass and me. Yeah.

[timecapture]

Okay. I'm going to search for him now.

I'm Max. What's your name?

[microbrobotics]

... Hiro. Hiro Hamada.

[timecapture]

I'll let you know if I find anything. Let me know if you need something, okay?

[microbrobotics]

Sure. I will.
