"Of course I am," you blurt out before your brain has a chance to catch up.
"...I mean, I make mistakes aaaaaalllll the time, even during this int--"
You worriedly pivot at the last moment, feeling a new train of thought rolling out of your mouth as it forms in real time.
"Cause... y'know... Everyone makes mistakes.
Meaning of life, or whatever."
You shrug.
"Can't afford to screw up helping people, but...
uh...
...I give it my all, and improve stuff.
Every time.
What else is there to do?"
You stare at Ghost after your reply, nervousness creeping through you.
That could've been worse
Probably
Ghost doesn't falter, picking up right where they left off after another quick "I see."
oh come ON
give me SOMEthing to go on already
...They're Absolutely doing this on purpose, I bet.
no doubt about it
"I notice you see scraps with the aid of tools, rather than having natural scrap sight.
I'm assuming those are the glasses you have on currently, correct?"
"Yep." With your thumb, you attempt to lift up your glasses slightly to show them off, but your caffeinated hands clearly have other ideas.
You fumble, knocking them all the way off your face, causing them to clatter noisily across the table.
Hastily, you reach out - much farther than anticipated - snag them, and toss them back on your face, as if nothing happened.
Ghost seems to ignore the accident.
You can't tell if it's out of pity, spite, or simply not noticing.
"Looks like you have an impressively-spread set of scrap abilities, but most of them are new to you, or you otherwise don't have much utility with them yet.
It's good that you're comfortable with scraps, but I'd also recommend caution when it comes to everything that entails; particularly with regards to your proxy.
That's a very important thing to be careful with." Ghost tilts their head forward, really stressing their warning.
This may be the first emotion you've picked up from them throughout the interview: Genuine worry.
Though, that almost feels insulting, doesn't it?
What impression have you given off to make them think you can't handle this?
Regardless, you know they're mistaken, and you're sure that's all that matters.
The gesabott moves on.
"Have you used your scrap abilities in emergency situations? Whether to help other people, or for combat?
Anything along those lines?"
