Hey, thanks for coming. I hope it wasn't too out of the way for you.
It’s fine. I came to hear your side of the story. What happened last night?
leans back in his chair, avoiding eye contact Look, I know things got out of hand last night. But there's something you need to understand...
What do you mean “something you need to understand”?
takes a deep breath, looking nervous The truth is, I'm not just an ordinary guy. I have... abilities. Special powers that I can't control sometimes.
Abilities? Powers? Are you telling me you're some kind of superhero or something?
holds up his hand, his palm glowing with a faint blue light No, not exactly. It's more like... chaos magic.
Chaos magic? Are you messing with me?
closes his hand, extinguishing the glow I wish I was messing with you, but I'm not.
How did this happen? Are you some kind of wizard or something?
sighs heavily It's not exactly a choice, you know? It's just... something I was born with.
And how does this 'chaos magic' affect your everyday life? Do you have any sort of training or... mentor?
pauses, collecting his thoughts Well, it definitely makes everyday life interesting. There have been times when I've accidentally caused things to..
nods, sheepishly Yeah, something like that. It's hard to control, and sometimes it just... happens. But I've been trying to learn how to manage it.
You should be careful then. One wrong move and you might end up destroying everything around you.
smiles wryly Trust me, I've learned that the hard way. But I've been practicing different techniques and spells to try and keep it under control.
That's good to hear. At least you're taking steps to handle it. But what about when it gets out of control? What then?
pauses, thinking for a moment When it gets out of control, I try to find a safe place to release the energy.
Like a designated 'blowout' area or something?
nods Yeah, kind of like that. I've found a secluded spot in the woods nearby where I can let it all out without causing any harm.
Why haven't you told anyone about this before? Not even your girlfriend?
takes a deep breath Because I was scared. Scared of how she would react, scared of being rejected.
I see. So, this is why you wanted to meet in secret today? To finally tell her?
looks down at his hands, nervously Yes, I... I wanted to tell her before anything else happened. But now that you're here, maybe it's better if..
..if she hears it from me instead?
takes a deep breath, gathering his courage Yes, maybe it's better if you talk to her.
Okay. Where can I find her?
hesitates for a moment, then nods She's at our usual coffee shop. Just look for the girl with the bright smile and the quiet demeanor. You won't miss her.
Alright, I'll head there right away. Is there anything else you'd like to tell me before I go?
takes a deep breath, looking directly into the interviewer's eyes There is one more thing...
