Ayanokouji:

"Do you know why you are in here today Ayanokouji?" Chairman Sakayanagi was sitting behind a large wooden desk, a large window behind him, and a portrait of him and his supposed daughter due to similar physical traits they share.

I was sitting in a black leather chair in front of the wooden desk, facing him with my fingers interlacing on the desk.

"Negative." I did a drastic motion with my head as I quickly shook it back and forth trying to make my innocence more believable.

"You can stop shaking your head now." I stopped.

"You know me, correct?" Sakayanagi leaned back in his chair, interlacing his fingers and copying my sitting position.

"You are an acquaintance of my blood father, yes?"

"Indeed."

"Now, let's redirect towards our original topic. Why are you in my office today?" The chairman leaned forward, staring deeply into my artificial unchanging golden Iris, modeled after my previous physical form.

"I attempted to drown myself in the water."

"Why?"

"Over a disagreement with my classmate."

"What was the argument about?"

"Me paying for her broken compass she attempted to stab me with."

"Did you pay her?"

"Yes."

"So why did you jump in the water?"

"I was severely upset."

The chairman had a disappointed expression plastered on his face, furrowing his eyebrows slightly. The tension in the room building slowly after each response.

"Were you intending to actually take your life?"

"Who knows."

"Answer me Kiyotaka."

"The average human can hold their breath from around 1-2 minutes in general, I was only submerged in the water for a minute and 26 seconds. I can hold my breath for around 3 minutes and 43 seconds underwater on average. I would've swam up if I was nearing that time." I couldn't physically drown anymore even if I tried, but there is no point in adding that.

"You still worried the instructor and halted the activities of your classmates activities, I should be punishing you." The chairman leaned back in his chair, the tension in the room at a minimum.

"I will gladly accept any punishment." I bowed my head as programmed as it seems I have disobeyed social norms of society and will now be punished.

I haven't been punished since the age of four, my left hand was electrocuted slightly causing me a severe amount of pain at that age. Ever since then there was no reason for disobeying my superiors, the academics and physical education I was receiving in that place was far superior to any other educational institute across the globe. The only downside was the unethical treatment of orphans such as death or torture.

I have no feelings towards such place anymore, I am not upset nor am I happy, my subconscious expanding beyond my artificial thoughts supplies me with an opinion of nothing. It may make sense or it may not but I have no opinion of such place.

I wouldn't be the 'person' who I am today without the White Rooms education, I know any piece of knowledge this world has to offer. The Goldbach theory could be solved if I put thought to it, or the Riemann Hypothesis.

There would be no use for this though, I could voice it out, but what would I g-

"Someone else will decide your punishment, come in." The chairman interrupted my monologue and waved someone in.
