    Same! Confused about 1D tho, if someone could explain

      Same as well. In 1D I think the supposition is IF, which fills FES, i.e., Fester's foremost. Fifes and drums are associated with colonial-era armies, at least here in the US.

      Although, now that I look at it, “internal” is unnecessary and therefore likely to mislead. “Fills” indicates IF’s position within FES. I think I’ll scrap “internal.”
