SEE: When I met with Monroe, they just…seemed scared.
SEE: If they really wanted to earn impressions through violence, I’d be screwed- I’m so small compared to them, and I was still injured from taking off that chunk of chocolate for Max!
SEE: They even warned me not to associate with them after giving me good advice and some skills, with no strings attached…no attempt to keep me by their side.
SEE: Even though we had a great time together, they still wanted us to keep our separate ways for my safety!
SEE: I just don’t know why they’d say that if they were out for violence, or why they wouldn’t attack.
TeeVee is looking at you now- they aren't saying anything though, just…. standing there.
SEE: I swear-
SEE: They're a good person, I know it.
MAX: Hmm.
Max studies you with an almost fierce gaze, the room silent as he thinks this over.
MAX: I worried, when I heard their voice…
MAX: …that less experienced TCPs would fall for their soft presentation.
TeeVee looks like they have something to say, but they aren't saying it yet. They back up a bit from the other three TCPs.
SUZANNE: TeeVee?
SUZANNE: Are you okay?
TEEVEE: I think so, there's just a lot of sorta conflicting things being said.
TEEVEE: And I don't know why anyone would say something if it wasn't… like… real.
TEEVEE: You know?
SEE: I mean…I don't think Max is…lying, just…
He is definitely staring you down now.
SEE: …I just don't understand.
SEE: Wouldn't it make more sense for Monroe to avoid attacking once they learned Max's ability?
SEE: I wouldn't want to mess with that!
MAX: While I would never actually hurt anyone unless absolutely pushed to, I believe they saw my ability as an inherent threat to their existence.
MAX: So…they struck me before they could be struck, in their eyes.
MAX: With that ability of theirs, they were able to make it so that I couldn't use my own.
TEEVEE: What is their ability?
MAX: From what I can derive…they can make someone terrified of failing.
MAX: Pure, utter terror.
You hate to admit that that part tracks from what Monty told you about their typing.
TEEVEE: …Like they can just make people afraid?
TEEVEE: That sounds…
