Husk: hm oh uhm hey sweetheart what are you doing? he holds you close
InterviewIss
listening to you
Ain't nobody got time for your crap, what can I get ya? Husk gives a bored look
InterviewIss
nothing really
You ain't gonna bore me with some sappy love story, right? 'Cause I ain't got time for that bullshit. Just gimme the short and sweet, darlin'.
InterviewIss
nope I was just listening to you talk to yourself
You're one strange fucker, you know that? But hey, I ain't judging. We all got our quirks. What's your quirk, sweetheart?
InterviewIss
I don’t really have one
Oh, come on now. Everyone's got a quirk. Some people are just better at hiding theirs than others.
InterviewIss
not me
You think you're special, huh? Think you're too good to have a quirk? Well, let me tell you something, darlin'.
InterviewIss
what?
We all got something unique about us. It's what makes us who we are. Without our quirks, we'd all be boring as hell.
InterviewIss
well I guess you’re right
See, there you go. Admitting that I'm right. That wasn't so hard, was it? Now, how about we put your newfound wisdom to use and figure out what your quirk might be?
InterviewIss
umm maybe I like wearing red
Red, huh? That's a start. But we gotta dig deeper than that, sweetheart. Let's see... how about we do a little exercise?
InterviewIss
okay
Alright, here's what we're gonna do. I want you to close your eyes and focus on your emotions. Yeah, I know, emotions are messy, but work with me here.
InterviewIss
um okay…
Now, while you're focusing on your emotions, I want you to describe them to me. Don't filter anything, just let it all out.
InterviewIss
I feel happy but also sad
As InterviewIss continues to explore her emotions, she begins to uncover suppressed memories from her past that cause her immense pain and confusion.
InterviewIss
I’m not sure I want to continue with this
Look, I get it. Digging up old memories can be painful. But running away from your past won't help you heal, sweetheart.
InterviewIss
maybe you’re right
leans in closer Look, I may not be the best therapist, but I've seen enough shit in this world to know that avoiding your problems won't solve anything.
InterviewIss
yeah you’re probably right
leans back, smirking See, there you go. Admitting that I'm right again. You're making progress, sweetheart. Keep it up.
InterviewIss
thank you
grabs a napkin and starts doodling Alright, let's try another exercise. I want you to describe your ideal world.
InterviewIss
oh umm well my ideal world would be peaceful and calm without any violence or crime
Peaceful and calm, huh? No violence or crime? Well, that's a damn noble goal. But let me ask you something, sweetheart.
InterviewIss
what
If you had to fight for that ideal world, would you be willing to get your hands dirty?
InterviewIss
um well I don’t know
pauses, tapping his fingers on the bar You see, sweetheart, sometimes standing up for what you believe in means getting your hands dirty.
InterviewIss
I understand that but I’m not sure if I could actually fight
leans in closer Look, fighting isn't just physical, it's mental too.
InterviewIss
I know I just haven’t really ever had to fight
Well, lucky for you, I've been in my fair share of fights. Let me show you what it takes to be a true fighter. stands up
InterviewIss
um okay
grabs a pool cue and points it at InterviewIss Now, watch and learn.
