Video| In all my dreams, it's never quite as it seems

[ushahin]

[When the video opens up, Ushahin is lying once again inside his bathtub. It's about five o' clock in the morning, so at least he's only waking up the resident of Hadriel up at the crack of dawn instead of the middle of the night this time. He's considerate that way.]

Does anyone else hear it? The music? It's so lovely.

[There is, of course, no music. What he's hearing is the tune he's caught from passing through someone's mind while they sleep. It's had quite the effect on him.]

Music makes everything quiet inside.

[He starts humming to himself, tapping his fingers to keep rhythm. If that tune sounds somewhat familiar, well, it might have been your mind he was tapping into.]

I find precious little that makes me smile. I have seen too much for that. But some of the people...

[His eyes lose their focus. He trails off. Over a thousand years old and this is one of the first times he's ever had to make friends in his life.]

...some of the people here, I like their minds. That is what makes me smile.

Seeing a lot in your life should only show you more things to smile about, not less!

[Look how fresh-faced and optimistic Elmer is at age 312! Although helps to be completely out of your mind like he is.]

But that's good! I'm sure there are some nice and interesting people here, eh? You'd get to learn about new subjects you might not have even thought about before, and places you'd never have known ever existed without this opportunity. I'd definitely say that's a reason to smile.

It's hard to move past the thoughts of war and death.

[Come talk to Ushahin when he reaches quadruple digits. Then he'll see how optimistic Elmer still is.]

Yes. I have made friends. It's nice, a most unusual feeling to have.
