[The camera starts recording, showing the interior of what looks to be a cabin, only illuminated by the glow of an oil lamp standing on the table. A (currently hatless) man is sitting in front of a large loom where part of a large tapestry hangs, using his knife to spread the threads so he can use them to weave them into knots and such.]

[He finally turns to the camera, calm blue eyes creased in a benevolent expression.]

You know, it's rather interesting. Some people believe their lives are governed by fate, and others say that they're free to do what they want. Some say it's futile to do anything, and others disagree, saying your can change your future as much as you want to.

[He turns towards his loom again, cutting out a troublesome thread, before speaking again.]

But what most everyone agrees on is that life is made of choices. You are where you are now because you decided to go a certain way, talk to a certain person, see a certain thing...

I believe everyone has a choice. It just depends on how you use it.

[And he smiles at the camera.] So, I'm curious, people of Vatheon...what sort of choices have you experienced in your lives?

[... Heh.]

Both, I guess. I had two equally bad ideas I could have gone with.

Which were...? I'm sorry if I'm asking, I'm simply curious.

Serve God, and rule by fear over humans... or attempt to fight God, and start a war.

...

You decided to serve God, then.

... It seemed the least destructive, though I still don't like it.

Every choice has it's consequences. I'm not surprised.

I know that. It's just... I'm trying to think of a way to turn it around.

You'll figure out a way. I'm sure of it.

... Thanks.

[He smiles a little bit.]

No problem, Katsu.
