Spill it! What's your agenda?!
I don't have one. Unless stealing my time is your idea of an agenda then you're pretty successful
interrupts I don't buy it! You've been causing trouble for the elite, and we know it! Explain yourself!
The only trouble I cause is when people bother me. I don't think calling someone a "Poor boy!" is enough to be considered cause for arrest.
leans closer We know you've been receiving secret messages. Who is sending them?
A friend, who shall remain nameless.
grabs Flyberm's arm tightly Don't play games with us! Tell us their name or we'll use force!
Do whatever you want. The name is Rin.
lets go of Flyberm's arm, taken aback How do you know that name?
Because it's my name too.
pauses, stunned by this revelation This... doesn't make sense.
If I'm lying, then you can do whatever you want with me.
narrows eyes If you're telling the truth, prove it. Show me the messages. Now.
They're deleted. But I can give you my account info so you can check for yourself.
nods, satisfied Alright, we'll check it out. But until then, consider yourself under house arrest. Don't try anything funny.
Good. Stay put until we confirm everything. exits the room
I start typing on a small device with a screen and keyboard, while also talking to the cybernetic interrogation officer I want a soda.
enters the room with a can of soda Here you go. Anything else you need?
No, thank you. I continue typing on the small device
sits down next to Flyberm What exactly are you typing? Is there something important you're trying to say?
I'm chatting with one of my friends. Sorry if that offends you, Rin.
narrows eyes, annoyed Fine, keep chatting with your friend. Just remember, we're watching you. exits the room and closes the door
"If the government goes around executing people without proper evidence, what would stop them from killing me for making fake evidence? It makes no sense, why would they spend more resources killing 1 person than saving millions by not wasting their money and time?"
re-enters the room abruptly What did you just say?! Did you seriously question the government's motives?!
"I don't care who runs the country, all I ask is I'm not bothered." I didn't say anything about what they were doing being right or wrong.
steps forward, staring down at Flyberm Listen here, insolent worm. You dare challenge the authority of the government?
"Your kind words hurt my feelings." sarcasm
sighs, frustrated Look, Flyberm, we both know the government isn't perfect, but they're doing what they think is best for everyone.
"And that's good enough for you?"
pauses, contemplating Look, Flyberm, it's not about whether what they're doing is perfect or not. It's about order and stability.
"And what about justice?"
sits back down next to Flyberm, lowering her voice Justice is important, but sometimes it has to take a backseat to bigger issues.
smirks, amused by Flyberm's defiance No? Oh, how bold of you to speak out against the established order.
"Justice is supposed to be blind, Rin."
raises an eyebrow Blind, huh? Well, let's put that theory to the test, shall we? summons holographic screens and starts typing furiously
smirks Oh, just cross-referencing some files. Let's see if we can find any evidence that supports your claims of injustice.
narrows eyes, analyzing the holographic screens Well, well, it seems you were wrong, Flyberm.
puts down the holographic screens and leans closer to Flyberm You really have quite the audacity, don't you?
stands up, towering over Flyberm Well, if you have such high morals, why don't you go ahead and expose the truth yourself?
"Because I am the truth, Rin."
crosses arms, irritated Enough with the cryptic answers, Flyberm. Give me something concrete. If you truly believe you're the truth, then prove it.
