[ The America that's smiling into the screen looks pretty similar to the one everyone is used to. He looks cheerful. The uniform's different though; a darker blue. A rifled is propped next to him and he casually plays with the bayonet. He seems to be talking to someone off-screen. ]
C'mon now! We just wanted to say hi! You were enjoying us earlier. Who's to say someone else won't?
[ Another one appears next to him, dressed in grey and grinning just the same. Dear god there's two. ]
Oh right, 'cause you're ashamed!
That he likes us?
That no matter how many regrets start to pile up, no matter how much he wants to hate himself, he's always gonna love himself more!
Hard to be a hero when you're hardwired to always put yourself before anyone else!
Hard to be a hero when you're sending your own children to slaughter. But that's nothing new with you, is it? Road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Best book yourself a room!
[ The blue one starts prodding the grey one with his bayonet a little too hard. Then the device is grabbed away and the real America is seen scowling into the screen. ]
I got a two for the price of one deal. Think I liked it better when they were fightin' with each other instead of picking on me.
[ One of the Shadows scoffs. ]
Liar. The more we get along, the more you feel like you're holding yourself together. No matter how much anyone tells you otherwise: you're gonna be afraid that you'll be split apart. Can't stand losing anything, can you?
Always need more land and more power. Don't lie; that promise of gettin' to the top of the world is exciting.
And you're gonna do whatever it takes to get there! Like always.
[ Welp, his Shadows sure aren't any less chatty than he is. America looks dismayed for a moment, but quickly lets it go and sighs. ]
I'm goin' for a walk.
LET'S RIDE THE RAPTOR.
THAT'S-- [ the frustration fades quickly and he considers it. ] --actually not a bad idea. Okay.
[ If you thought this post was going to end on anything but a stupid note you were wrong. America and his Shadows will be riding around the mansion and grounds on a Utahraptor should you want to run into him. ]
