[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?

Everyone who's unique says they're simple.

Honestly, I think I'm a lot more simple than any regular person. There's nothing too special about me.

Oh, I'm sure.

[See how convinced she sounds?]

[He just shakes his head and smiles.]

Then what is so special about me, may I ask? Since you seem to know more about me than I do myself.

[She frowns.]

I don't. I just think you're being modest.

Isn't modesty a virtue, though?

I always heard more about patience being a virtue.

That's correct. Though I believe modesty is a virtue, too.

Well, I failed that one.

Have you? Bear in mind, that sometimes bragging about your accomplishments isn't always a bad thing.

I'm not modest at all.

[Quite the opposite.]

I know that. It's part of what makes you unique.

So what makes you unique? I'm not accepting that shitty answer you gave me before.

...

I'm the guardian of a very special island. And I am able to bring people to that island if I think they deserve it.

Didn't hurt, did it?

[She can't help but feel a little ... accomplished.]

Why did they deserve to be there?

Not really, no.

[A sad sort of smile.] They're all flawed. Like me. And that is why I think they'll have the best chance at rebuilding the island to the way it's supposed to be.

Everyone's flawed. What makes you so special from the rest?

I was the one solely responsible for bringing a terrible evil into the world.

[Okay, that makes her pause before she actually responds.]

You?

Yes, me.

And the sole reason I exist is to keep him trapped on the island for all eternity.

Keep him? The evil was a him?

He always has been a him.

[A pause, and there's something incredibly hurt in his eyes, as if the thought of this great evil is something worth grieving over.]

He's my brother.

Were you his opposite, then?

[She notices how hurt he looks, but she doesn't want to say anything about it.]

In many ways, yes.

And you were responsible for him?
