Chapter 12 - Interview (Survival)

[Interview 1: Gray Crayson]

William: "Alright, Mister Crayson, are you ready?"

Gray: "Of course."

William: "Then I'll start the interview now... How did you and Violet Crayson become so close?"

Gray: "Hmm... That's quite simple we kept each other alive."

William: "What do you mean by that?"

Gray: "It's just as it sounds."

Gray would lift two fingers up.

Gray: "Without her, I would've died, without me, she would've died."

William: "What... Led to such extremes?"

Gray: "Ah, well, long story short, our father is a pezzo de merde."

William: "Hm, then how did you two rise up to what you are now?"

Gray: "Me and Violet just... Did our own things for awhile while helping each other. I think it'd be better if you ask her that, if you ever do get to interview her."

William: "I see, then how about your conviction? You're a Conviction-bearer too, right?"

Gray: "Of course, I'm more disappointing though."

William: "Why do you say that?"

Gray just moved to show his left shoulder and pulled on his neck to show a mark on the back of it.

Gray: "Survival, like your boss."

William: "Miss Farah..? Then you share the same capabilities then?"

Gray: "Oh no no no—I'm much weaker. Convictions are always different, even if they share the same belief."

To demonstrate, his mark would glow blue as a piece of paper would float towards him.

Gray: "Your boss, Hogaamin Farah, cannot die. Meanwhile I simply gain telekinesis, but it is rather weak."

William: "Weak? What do you mean by that?"

Gray: "100 grams is the limit for my telekinesis."

William: "Even then, I think it could be useful—"

Gray: "Bambino, Violet can change reality and your boss is unkillable, what do I look like next to them?"

William: "... Wait Miss Violet can do what?"

Gray: "Oh, right. I thought you'd figure it out since she's been doing that during the entire day."

William: "Is that how the tent's..?"

Gray: "Yes."

William: "Ah... Then what do you use your conviction for?"

Gray: "Mostly just minor things, sometimes it also does just allow for convenience."

William: "I can tell."

Gray: "Anyways, got anymore questions, Bambino?"

William (muttering): "Why does everyone call me some sort of small in their languages—"

Gray: "Hm?"

William: "Oh— Well, I've got one more question for you."

Gray: "Great, what is it?"

William: "Do you know about the Crayson Mafia that dissolved a few years back?"

Gray sat there silently.

Then a smile creeped on his face.

Gray: "My, you did quite a bit of research, didn't you?"

William: "It's my job... Can you answer the question?"

Gray: "Well... It's tough to say..."

William: "Why..?"

Gray: "It sort of fits into our deal..."

William: "Ah— If that's so I can just—"

Gray: "No no, I like people who do their research, so I'll answer it just this once."

Gray held up the paper in his hand.

Gray: "I was once the heir to the Crayson Mafia."

William: "Wait what?"

Gray: "I'm not joking, you can tell, right?"

With a turn to his own right hand, William realized that yes, Gray was not lying.

William: "Then... What happened?"

Gray: "Another day, my friend. For now..."

Gray stands up and smiled.

Gray: "The show's starting, you wouldn't want to miss it, would you?"

And with that, he walked away, leaving William to stare at his back.

William: "Huh."
