[ The video opens on the outside of a house -- then moves inside, giving a virtual tour. There's nothing special about it compared to the other available houses. There is, however, a voiceover. ]

I was wondering with the new arrivals, well... I have this whole house. There are three bedrooms free here, and the beds are big enough for couples. I'm quiet, and clean, and I can cook passably well, if that's any incentive to claim a spot here over the apartments.

[ After touring the beds, baths, and balcony, the camera turns to focus on Pell, dark hair falling into his face. He doesn't look entirely comfortable being on camera, but offers a smile and warm eyes. ]

I can't be the only one who doesn't want to live alone. Right?

What's that like? I don't know anything about it except that it exists... do you patrol for monsters?

[ There are piles of vegetables on the kitchen table, all freshly picked from what he still thinks of as Newt's garden. Pell waves a hand over them, inviting Henry to look. ]

See anything you like?

I do not know half of them. These ones I am familiar with.

[He indicates leeks, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, parsnips and peas -- the rest is all alien to him. He's been sticking to what he knows this whole time, where possible.]

As for the Guard: our aim is to be a shield for this populace. An organised, joint and steadfast defence is stronger for those qualities. We patrol to keep the streets secure. Fighting monsters is part of that, as is helping those in need. The clinic has trained us in transporting injured persons. We write and retain reports on every patrol and incident. If our presence makes this city safer to live in, then we are content.
