PERSONAL QUESTIONNAIRE
Q. What is your name?
El.
Surname?
You can call me without one, can't you?
Witness Accounts
"He's called El."
"I don't know his last name."
"...Is that even his real name in the first place?"
Q. Age and height.
27. 176cm.
I wish I was about 4cm taller, though.
Witness Accounts
"The age is probably right."
"If even that's a lie, I can't believe anything anymore."
Q. What is your occupation?
What do I look like?
...Answer properly?
Fine, I'm unemployed.
Witness Accounts
"Definitely not."
"He's sometimes at the tropical fish shop in the middle of a weekday."
"What does that guy do for a living?"
Q. Where are you from?
It's a secret.
Witness Accounts
"I thought he was from the Kansai region."
"He just laughed when I asked him."
"He speaks other regional dialects perfectly too. What's up with that?"
Q. What are you good at?
Using my hands.
Cooking, instruments, magic tricks.
I'm good at messing with cards, too.
I can do most things reasonably well.
Witness Accounts
"His definition of 'reasonably' is skewed."
"He's strangely fast at learning things he's seeing for the first time."
"His hands really are incredibly dexterous."
Q. What do you like?
Fish-san. Especially Bettas.
They're beautiful, they're feisty, and I never get tired of watching them.
Even the same type of Betta has a completely different personality.
Some follow your finger, others just ignore you.
It's more fun when the reactions are different, right?
Witness Accounts
"He's only in a strangely good mood when he's looking at fish."
"He always adds '-san' to living creatures."
"Doesn't he treat the fish-san better than humans?"
Q. What kind of personality do you think you have?
Kind. Gentle. Sincere.
Witness Accounts
"All lies."
"He is rational, at least."
"He's a person you can talk to as long as you don't make him angry."
"...As long as you don't make him angry, that is."
Q. What do you value in human relationships?
Not betraying me.
As long as you keep that one promise, I'm very kind.
Witness Accounts
"I think this is the one thing that isn't a lie."
"The definition of 'kind' is open to debate."
Q. Are you the type to get obsessed easily?
No, I don't.
Witness Accounts
"............"
"Let's move on to the next question."
Q. Are you good at letting go?
I'm bad at it.
Recorder's Note

Q. Do you tell lies?
No, I don't.
Witness Accounts
