[Video]

[This time, Simon is broadcasting not from his own cabin, but from Mira's, sitting on the end of her bed. To a careful observer, it seems like he's been there a while: she's tucked into the bed behind him, hair brushed back from her face, as neatly and carefully arranged as if she were about to be buried. He looks a little perturbed.]

[He tilts the camera down to show Mira's octolemur sitting on his lap, curled around his other hand.]

Does anyone know what to do with one of these?
