[The video comes on, just a bit crooked, to show a scrawny teenager sitting in tall grass. He gives the camera a business-like nod, and then holds up a piece of paper, covered in blocky, red writing, to the lens.]

This is my bucket list.

[Self-explanatory, from the title.]

Who can help me with any of it? [He tilts it back to scan the list again.] Like, I'm pretty sure fireworks will be pretty easy, but I don't really know where to find a red panda. [A little nose wrinkle.] ... Or a volcano.

[That's it. That's the broadcast. He gives the camera a boyish smile and a thumbs up.]

[ Matthew 'hm's again, thoughtfully. He's not getting any straight up pings from his power but, well. Noah's treading a very thin line. ]

Why don't you like going? It's not so bad.

[Noah shrugs - a gesture that, in his current position, looks more like he's working out a neck pain.]

I couldn't pay attention, [he repeats.] And, like, I always knew Barry'd help me with it later. So it wasn't a big deal.

[He doesn't even stop to think about calling Whelk by name - his mind is fully in the past, for the moment.]

[ Matthew nods again, like this makes sense. Though it's a little different, he has trouble paying attention too, sometimes. In fact, just then a dandelion seed floats past his nose, and he's distractedly watching it fly away when he asks-- ]

Barry?

[ He doesn't think he knows any boy at Aglionby with that name. ]

[admemoriam]

My roommate, before I lived with Gansey.

[He can feel Matthew's mind trying to place the name, so he adds, ] He doesn't go there anymore.
