Chapter 5: Pierre

You are?

...

I mean your name... please state your name.

...uh I'm... my name is... I-I'm Pierre...

Pierre? That's a nice name.

Thanks...

You look quite young. How old are you?

... um I... I'm 18

Are you in high school?

... (nods head)

Senior year?

Yes...

Okay. Where... were you all this time?

... wha-t?

I mean, you said earlier that... you met Violet and Roman two weeks after the two first met, so where were you during that time?

I..uh... school? Just...school.

Shouldn't you be... a graduate, by now?

...(looks away)

You didn't get to finish this year?

...

Was it because of Violet and Roman?

NO!... it's... it's not be-cause of them.. it's me.

Classic. Alright. I understand. Do you want to talk about it?

...

Pierre, are you always this quiet?

...

Okay, listen to me. I'm here to help you. I'm here to help the three of you. There's no need to be scared, whatever we talk about in here will never leave this room. You three are very interesting set of people and I would like to know more about you guys. I'm only recording this for profiling cause I will need to study your case before I would be able to fully help you. Right now we're only on the first step. Do you understand?

I...guess.

Good enough. So Pierre, do you have any question for me?

...wh..what?

Anything at all.

Uh...um.. do you.. do you think I'm... different?

Certainly.

Oh.

I mean, Violet... she's very upfront and she speaks as if her words are coming from a book, she's like..out of this world while... Roman, I didn't quite expect him to be that... talkative and he can... he can be a dick sometimes. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.

He is... (cracks a smile but realizes it at once, lets go of it and fixes his seat)

You on the other hand is... quite reserved.

...oh... is-is that..a good thing?

It can be. But Pierre, you're gonna have to talk more. Express yourself. You're free in here. There is no judgment in this place.

I'll try...

Okay. Let's try a little icebreaker, alright?

... okay.
