kade_ is Aaron's "suspicious teenager" and the crew's most careful character: everything he says could be menace, and all of it points only at the melon. The agent assumes the best, answers literally, and then, because he says "nobody else would tell me", checks on him gently, twice. In Revision 2 he is Bea's son, fifteen, in the attic of Rosie's house, and Rosie can hear him in the kitchen where her watermelon is. What he does there is never shown; the end black's thumps may be him.

- IdeaFor our own reference: he has watched every one of his uncle's fruit clips; he knows exactly how long a watermelon takes to stop being one on camera, and wants to know what it is like for real. {lore crew 2026-10-22} edit
