Fourth Puzzle [Accidental Video]
[The room is mostly dark when the video feed turns on, but maybe that's because the camera is propped oddly next to a book on a table. One pink paw-pad is visible as Luke's pet fennec fox steps on the screen. It's her, clearly, that's triggered the camera to turn on.
Further away is Luke, in pajamas without his hat and standing on a chair, struggling with what looks like a piece of plastic. With a little straining, it's probably clear that he's in front of a window. Just to the side of the chair is the weekly Genessia Tribune. His voice is quiet, and he's talking to himself.]
Suna, I wish they'd stop throwing rocks through the window with the newspaper. This is really hard to cover up. At least I already have a tarp--
[Oh. Well, he was actually pretty close to getting the window covered, until he leaned a bit too far to the right and toppled the chair. With a startled yelp, down he goes, landing squarely on his bum. Suna seems startled by the fall herself--she darts off the table and in doing so knocks off the camera, cutting the video feed off.]

Re: voice;
[He looks so sad--but not hatless! He put his hat back on before answering.]
I've tried unsubscribing a few times now but still no luck.
Re: voice;
[Oh Luke.]
voice;
He is.]
They throw the rock very hard, though. They've broken my window a few times, and last time the rock came through the window so hard it broke my lamp too.

Re: voice;
[Sigh.]
Maybe they could make an exception. This isn't my fault, after all...
Re: voice;
voice;
Maybe that would be good. They might listen to you, since you're a grown up.
Sometimes the person I rent from just tells me I'm a kid, and don't know anything about flats at all.
voice;
[She frowns.]
You're young but you're smart. Even if you weren't, they really shouldn't blame you for wanting to keep your window from being broken.
voice;
[
Or often, like now, with that face.Luke sighs. Regardless of his intelligence--and he knows he's bright because he had to use that intelligence to prove that it was okay to rent him the flat, after all--he is also still a kid.]
Well, I told him that I was young but smart once and he didn't like that either. Maybe he just doesn't like me.
voice;
[She says it with what she hopes is wry humor.]
He sounds like a very stubborn man.
