[VIDEO ID: A short clip consisting of four illustrated panels. In the first panel, a woman wearing a purply-orange shirt, a nose piercing, and a pearl necklace looks down and to the side, seemingly deep in thought. She has black wavy hair that comes to her shoulders, brown eyes, and medium-dark skin. In the next panel, her eyes shift to look at the viewer, and she's smiling slightly. In the third panel, the woman has turned fully towards the viewer and is smiling. In the fourth and final panel, a different woman (sketched, no rendering or colour) looks towards the viewer (she's intended to be looking at the first woman). She has longer wavy hair and wears an expression of adoration/reverence. Sketched pink lines extend out from behind the second woman's head. Audio from the Magnus Archives plays in the background: "I never understood the phrase 'like a deer in the headlights' until she looked me in the eyes for the first time". END OF VIDEO ID]
Being jurgen leitner the day that gerry almost killed him was probably really surreal. Imagine you’re minding your business, collecting fucked up books, and out of nowhere this goth guy covered in eye tattoos shows up and beats you half to death, then stops, goes, “no you’re too pathetic to be jurgen leitner” and leaves without further elaboration. And you dont correct him, you like being alive after all, and after that you just… continue with your life. And then several years later you tell this to some random guy in the tunnels you’ve been hiding in, and he not only knows who the goth was, but seems somewhat fond of the goth. And then you get brutal pipe murdered by the random guy’s boss. Oops
