[The video switches on and Tommy's chilling out. If you look closely, you can catch sight of a clothes dryer in the background.]

Hello! Tommy D again. ..I was wondering if it might be possible to get a torch for me to have? I'm not certain how it works here. I have tokens and I have pounds, but I haven't seen any mentions of either thus far.

I'm also.. Well, I'm a bit worried about not being sorted. I don't mind waiting. It's just, I hadn't realized this was the sort of thing where you wait for your letter to arrive and it might arrive much earlier or much later. Is that how it is?

[Tommy looks awkwardly off screen after a pause, then back, but his voice is much quieter.]

I believe I may have flooded the wash room. Could someone help me please?

Well, it's underpayment. They usually come with an... implication.

Ah, so not quite like a daylighter.

An implication that you wanted something unspoken in return.

Giving, say, a girl a gift that was worth something significant, would imply you wanted other things.

Or the other way around, sometimes.

You never know what he might expect in return.

It's probably nothing more than habit - I prefer to do a fair trade where I can.

...He doesn't follow the same rules as anything at your home, Tommy. If anything, he's a little more like Munsell. And I'd never ask Munsell for a favour.

I don't think he's really like either of them. He's just closer to... that kind of figure.

If he's really a carer, Tommy, is he a very good one?

What's the difference between the two?

Right.

Do your... Guardians know you're here?

Oh, I see.

Does anyone from home know you're here? Or... well, do you have to tell anyone you're going anywhere?

But you don't have to get permission?

So... what's to stop you walking off and finding the, um, Originals? I don't mean offence by that, it's just what I'd do in your position.

No, that's true. I was just curious if you were allowed to go anywhere.

So... they made a new...

Wait, I don't quite follow. If I was an original and someone made one of you, of me, now... it would be a child?

Oh, right. And you didn't have to get permission to do that?

I... think I understand, so far as I can.

...We still had to get permission to go anywhere outside of the boundaries.

So I was a little curious, I suppose.
