[ The video's showing a low angle of a room, like the phone is propped up on the seat of a chair. In the foreground, it's mostly Nico di Angelo and a pile of turned wood that might be the balusters of a staircase on the dusty, thin-board floor.

The further in the background, however, the more height the camera is picking up. And there's definitely... something happening back there. It's hard to see what it is, at first, because Nico's holding out a tri wing screw like a YouTuber holds up a skin cream, tucked into his palm to try to make the camera focus on this.

Not hard to hear what it is, though, because music is playing with a forced, tinny element that identifies the giant 1930s radio cabinet in the background is the source. It's not that loud in the video, but there's a sense from the tinniness and how loudly Nico's talking that the dial's cranked to 11.

Can anyone help me with this screw?

[ He puts his hand down and starts picking up various basic tools: a flathead screwdriver, a Philips screwdriver, two different hex keys, a hex screwdriver. ]

Tried this, this, both of these, whatever this is...

[ The song hits When I do my walk, walk and the movement in the background resolves. There's a floating broom, a dogeared grimoire, a porkpie hat, and a chiffon and maribou robe. There's a sense that the items are being held four astride. It's clear that the robe has an invisible body in it, and they're dancing. And... the other items move like the invisible hands that hold them are participating in the same choreography. It's like Tiktok Presents: the big fight scene from Bedknobs & Broomsticks. And they really go for it on the chorus. ]

I am trying to fix the stairs so that nobody breaks their neck climbing a rope that's tied to a poster bed. Please don't make me go to the hardware store. I'm already banned from 2 Home Depots.

[ The porkpie hat bobbles over and one of the balusters floats upward from the pile. As it bounces back over to the other haunted items, there's a thump and the radio starts playing the song from the top. ]

I really need to get this done.
