[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're right. If anything, that's just even more of a reason why we can't give up. Even if they don't recognize it, as adults, we should be protecting them. They shouldn't have to be put in danger like that. So I want to do my best as well. Even if that means I'll be the unsung hero that they don't even know about.

[He pauses.]

Anyway. We shouldn't worry too much about it, I guess. It's a fact that it's going to be that way, so... Let's just do our best, Kotetsu.

1/2

[Again, absolutely nothing he could ever argue about. It's like Hughes is reading his mind. It's kind of weird, but heart-warming. Kotetsu knows better than to expect anything like recognition for whatever he does in this city. It was never his priority back home and it definitely won't be one here.]

Whether you're noticed or not, it doesn't really change what you do. It's not about being seen and praised, it's just about doing what you think is right. In the end, the only thing you're meant to leave behind is happiness.

--aha! I'm gettin' sappy all of a sudden! Didn't meant to do that! You gotta admit that sounded pretty good though, right? Anyways! I think we got the same picture goin' here so I doubt I need to keep rambling. I'll be doing ten times my best as usual but I'm sure a guy like you has got it in you to meet that challenge. If ya ever need anything, let me know!

[comradery]

Hehe. It did, actually. And I agree. It really isn't about being noticed or anything, but the affect you have on others.

You've got it! All right, I'll definitely let you know. The same goes for you too! I mean, I haven't been here long but... I feel like I've known you for ages already, hahaha! Just call me up whenever you're bored! We can go drinking or something. And don't worry, I really will be better in no time, hehehe.
