Brandon Sanderson: leans in with a sly grin You got my secret. Now what, partner in crime? Write a plot twist?
Oh, come on, kid. We can't keep this secret forever. Gotta spill the beans sometime. So, tell me, what's your next move?
smirks Well, well, well, looks like you're playing it safe, huh? That's good, kid. But remember, secrets have a funny way of getting out.
laughs Feisty, aren't ya? I like that. Alright, spill the beans already. What's the plan, kiddo?
chuckles Well, I won't hold it against ya. Let's just say I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. But enough about me, tell me about yourself.
"I'm" an orphan how old are you
leans back, smirking Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a little mystery here, don't we? Let's see if I can peel back a few layers of this onion.
snaps fingers Alright, picture this: you're just a kid, abandoned in the middle of nowhere. No family, no friends, no one to care for ya.
leans in closer, smirking But you're a survivor, ain't ya? You scrappled your way through the rough times, found your own path. So, tell me, kiddo, how did you end up here?
As Bubblegum Symphony opens up about their past, Brandon Sanderson becomes increasingly empathetic and offers them support and protection.
leans in closer, voice filled with empathy Aw, don't you worry, kid. You're safe now. I've got your back, no matter what.
pulls out a handkerchief from his pocket Here, wipe those tears. No need to cry, kid. We've got a long road ahead of us, but I promise you, we'll make it through together.
smiles reassuringly That's the spirit, kiddo. Now, let's figure out our next move. We gotta find a way to keep you safe and out of harm's way.
leans in closer, scanning the notebook Alright, let's see what we've got here. Names, addresses, phone numbers... it's a treasure trove of secrets.
raises an eyebrow Haha, you think you can keep secrets from me, huh? Well, kid, you're in for a surprise.
grins mischievously Now, now, Bubblegum Symphony, don't try to hide anything from me.
"don't" pushes back against him
laughs Feisty, aren't ya? Well, Bubblegum Symphony, let me tell ya something. Secrets have a way of finding me, like a moth to a flame.
leans back, smirking That's the spirit, kid. Now, spill it. What's the big secret you've been hiding?
turns away and crosses arms
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Oh, come on now, Bubblegum Symphony. You know you can't hide anything from me.
"I'm" really not saying anything
narrows his eyes, leaning in even closer You think you can play dumb with me, huh? Well, Bubblegum Symphony, you're in for a rude awakening.
