The video started with a young man with mahogany hair, chestnut eyes, and pale skin. His eyes were red and irritated.

He started with a soft, "Hey guys." He pursed his lips and his eyes lingered upward, tears shining in his eyes. He gulped. Putting his head in his hands he murmured, "This is gonna be so hard to edit." The man's uncomfortable awkwardness radiated through the screen.

"On Thursda-" His voice cracked. Some tears escaped from his eyes. He swallowed and tried again. "-On Thursday, my friend Phil Lester passed away." He made a choking sound and started shaking, tears streaming down his face like a river. He took a deep breath. "I will not go into the details. This will be the last video for a while-" He paused and looked at the floor. "-Until-" He was silently crying harder than ever."-Until I figure some things out." He slumped over violently shaking.

The video cuts to him taking a long unsteady breath. He did a two finger salute with tears running down his face. The man let out a weak, "See you guys later." The video faded to a slideshow of memories filled with laughing, cat whiskers, llamas, and lions.
