five ☠ video | open to both sides!

[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.

He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]

...so I've finally failed.

[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]

I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.

[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]

I'm sorry.

[... Legit, though.]

Then you probably won't be much help against them, will you?

[lingeringfear]

Probably not.

[Wryly.]

I'll fold easily.

Then just say that's what you're going to do in the first place!

I was trying to make it up to you, you-

[He lets out a hissing breath through his teeth.]

Fine, then. Hope wants me to try to move the city again anyway.

[Rage still doesn't look 'happy' by any means. Maybe it's that she's had a chance to finally yell about what her problem is, but more likely it's because of Love talking her down.

It's a good thing they're in your corner, Fear.]

... Make it up to me by keeping Delight and Hope alive through this.

[Aaaand she hangs up.]
