[The video starts with the camera shaking around. Through the shakiness, one can make out Hughes' knees and feet and possibly the floor.]

Here we go!

[The feed suddenly jerks up and the floor can be seen clearly, but the video starts moving around again soon after. The communicator is being waved.]

Record this! Record this!

[A hand takes the device, and it stops shaking excessively. Bakura replies.]

Okay!

[The communicator gets turned around and positioned properly. One can see Hughes is bandaged up and sitting in a wheelchair. Behind him is Amaterasu who is standing on her hind legs with her front paws set against the handles of the wheelchair. Bakura talks to the two of them.]

Everybody wave!

[Amaterasu grins and raises a paw to motion a wave. Her tail is wagging hard. Hughes grins and waves too.]

Look at what Ammy can do!

[Hughes jabs his thumb in her direction. Bakura speaks up and positions the camera so it's easier to see Amaterasu.]

Pretty impressive, ne?

[Amaterasu barks a couple times and pushes the wheelchair forward. Hughes starts laughing really excitedly and jokes between his laughter.]

Don't mind us! Just out for a stroll!

[Bakura laughs from behind the communicator and follows after as they move along. After a few more seconds, Hughes turns and waves his arm at Bakura for the communicator. He chuckles as he speaks.]

Okay, okay, that's enough of that. I think we all can see how talented Ammy here is now.

[He grins at Amaterasu. The camera shakes a little before the video feed is cut off. There is a text note beneath the video.]

Whoops.
Sorry! I was so distracted after that I forgot to post it up on the network yesterday. Thanks so much for helping me out, Bakura and Ammy!

[It seems the video was recorded some time in the afternoon the day before.]

You seem splendid yourself! I am glad that BREW saw fit to bring you! [He catches the repetition of his name, and even though he's heard it many times before, he beams at it.] I have been trying to teach the city that optimism, friendship, and hugs all make life better! Some have responded! Some have not. Many have not. But I will not give up!

They do make life better! They do! Friends and a little optimism go a long way! It sucks that some people don't understand that, though maybe it's because they've never really had good friends... Yes! Don't give up! I'm behind you 100%. They'll come around eventually, I'm sure of it! All they need is a little friendly push, and then they'll understand how amazing life really is!

Hell...you know what? I'm going to help you. I can't really move around right now, but I'm sure there's got to be someone that needs a friend in the bunch that haven't answered. As soon as I'm better, I'll get right on it. If no one else wants to be their friend, then I will! No one should have to live life thinking that they have to be alone!

Yes! The two of us together can befriend the entire city! No one will have to be without friends! No one will be left grumpy and alone! We will befriend them all! And if you would like, I can push you around and we can go places together! I would enjoy more of a workout!

Yes! That sounds like a brilliant plan! No one will ever be lonely again!
That'd be helpful. I'd much prefer to walk though, since I feel bad making people push me around, hahaha. Don't worry, it shouldn't take me too long to get better enough to walk on my own. Just give me a day or two! We'll be helping people in no time!

Then we shall wait a day or two, Hughes, and if you wind up needing assistance from too much walking I can assist with carrying you! I have carried my Eternal Rival before and I am certain I would be able to help nearly anyone else in this city!

The Protoss are ten feet tall. I do not think I could carry one of them. ...But I could try!

Hahaha! Hopefully, it won't come to that, but if it does, I would be very grateful!

...what's a Protoss?

I believe in being prepared for all eventualities! Hope for the best and prepare in case it does not happen!

A Protoss is one of one of the several alien races here. They are ten feet tall, and speak in your head. One is gone at the moment but I am sure she will return. The one who is still here is Tassadar and he is very impressive in a good way.

Yes! That's always a good thing! [And since that was the case, he was going to make sure he would not have to be carried!]

Oooh, I see. That's pretty tall! Yeah, I'll bet you could carry one of them if you tried. Will is a powerful thing!

[Gai tilts his head to the side, considering.]

I shall have to see if Tassadar is ever willing to let me try!

If he disagrees, then say it's for research! ...because it is! [He laughs loudly in amusement.]

Let me know if you do! I'll record it!

[Gai chuckles.]

I can tell you when I am trying it, but I think I will not have it recorded. Tassadar deserves the dignity he goes for as he does a great deal for the city!

Hm. I suppose a recording of that could seem like defamation. Oh, well, hehe. I won't do it then. It could probably still get a smile out of someone, but it'd be bad if people were mocking him for it too.

He deserves to not have that shown to all, because I think he would not like it shown. But we can put other things on the network! I am certain that we will find things to lift others up!

Yeah, there are always other ways to cheer others up! I'm hoping this post of mine could have done it too! At least, it gives me a good chuckle whenever I rewatch it, haha.

There is food too! Or sometimes hugs! Hugs are splendid things to give!

Yes! Food and hugs! Delicious food is always something to be happy about! And hugs? Gosh! People seem to forget how amazing hugs are and how easy they are to give! I love giving hugs!

I love giving hugs as well! In time everyone will love getting them!

Yes! That would be wonderful! Man, I can't wait! Everyone here is going to get hugs and be friends, and no one will be sad and lonely! It's brilliant!

Perhaps even in time they will rename the city from Death City to Hugs City! Joyful City! Friendship City!

Yes! Death City is too gloomy for a name!
Friendship City! I love the sound of that! It will be representative of a wonderful city full of friends!

As soon as we have established more friendships we can speak to Spirit about this!

Ooh! Do you suppose we'll actually be able to change the name of the city? Because that would be wonderful!

I can't wait!

It is worth asking about!

That's true! If we don't try, we'll never know!

...and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!

And together we will try much and accomplish much!
