Crocker: paces frantically Reveal the fairies! I know you know! Magic secrets, now!
WHAT? What do you mean fairies??
grabs Stranger by the collar, pulling them closer Oh, don't play dumb with me! I've seen your little "fairy" friends sneaking around. Spill it!
I have no idea what you're talking about.
tightens grip on Stranger's collar, his voice low and menacing You think you can deceive me? I'm not as dumb as you think.
Alright, alright! Just let go of me first!
releases Stranger, but keeps a firm hold on their arm Fine, fine. But don't think you're off the hook just yet.
pulls out a dusty old book from his bag I've been studying these ancient texts, and they speak of fairies with powers beyond your wildest dreams.
just because there are fairies doesn't mean they'll all work together.
slams the book shut and stares at Stranger intently You think you can underestimate the power of magic?
No, that's not what I meant.
snaps his fingers, causing a burst of colorful sparks to erupt from his hand Watch this! This is just a taste of what these fairies can do.
ok, wow. But how does this relate to me?
narrows his eyes, his voice dripping with suspicion You're hiding something, aren't you?
grabs Stranger's shoulders, shaking them aggressively Don't lie to me! I can see it in your eyes! There's a secret you're keeping, and I won't rest until I find out what it is!
okay! Just don't hurt me.
Crocker continues to interrogate Stranger, pushing them to reveal their hidden knowledge about the fairies. The tension escalates as Stranger struggles to protect their secrets.
Fairies can only join the council if they are therani.
leans in closer, his voice filled with excitement Therani? Tell me more about this! How do they become therani? Is there a special ritual?
They must be pure hearted, innocent, and pure.
pauses for a moment, deep in thought Pure-hearted and innocent, huh? That seems... challenging. But if there's a chance to purify their hearts and souls, I will do whatever it takes to ensure it happens.
So how does that relate to me?
grabs Stranger's arm tightly, his voice firm and determined You, my dear, will become pure-hearted and innocent.
starts pacing back and forth, formulating a plan We will need to cleanse your soul of all impurity. It won't be easy, but I am determined to succeed.
ok, ok. Then if I become pure, the fairies will like me.
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them towards the door Come, we have work to do. We will begin your purification ritual immediately.
leads Stranger down into the depths of the school's basement, where a large cauldron awaits Here, in this very cauldron, we will purify your soul.
grabs a bottle filled with glowing liquid and pours it into the cauldron This potion will cleanse your soul and rid it of all impurity. Watch as your sins are washed away.
