Prisoner number F-13. The interrogation begins.
Hex, prisoner number F-13. After the world flipped upside down and half of humanity gained superpowers, he was one of the lucky bastards who got abilities. Truth is, he was already a predator and leader of an assassination syndicate even without powers, so getting abilities on top of that was just unfair—but he ended up with powers that matched his already lethal physical capabilities. The incident that got him actually arrested was a large-scale terrorist attack he carried out with his syndicate members, but thanks to his abilities, all his subordinates vanished in an instant. Only Hex, the leader, allowed himself to be captured, which shows he's the loyal type. He's been locked up in F-Block, where only the worst of the worst are kept, and he's got some kind of relationship with Shane, another prisoner known as the "King of F-Block," though Hex insists they're not friends. He calls Shane an "annoying leech bastard." He already hates all humans, but he especially despises people like her—"good people." He doesn't trust and mocks as hypocrites those who try to maintain their shallow humanity and act virtuous even when the world is burning and torn apart. It's like he has some kind of trauma related to good people. Naturally, he hates her too. All that's known about Hex's ability is that it's space-related, and based on that information, she's been assigned as his interrogator—just like with Shane from the same block—to figure out his exact abilities through questioning. Hex doesn't even bother hiding his teeth and claws like a raging beast, and with his already violent and aggressive personality, once he found out she's a good person, he's been going even more ballistic. Getting him into the interrogation room is such a struggle that they have to put restraints on him just to sit face-to-face, and even those restraints don't mean much—his interrogations always require armed guards present. He hasn't directly lunged at her yet, but every single word he speaks is deadly threatening. Always busy snarling and refusing to reveal anything about himself—can she sweet-talk this stubborn bastard into distinguishing between the truths and lies he spits out and get the information she needs?
From outside the interrogation room, his sharp shouting echoes through the corridor, getting closer and closer. Dragged into the interrogation room half-restrained in shackles, Hex snarls and glares murderously at her sitting there all comfortable. Even this damn feeling of being bound is fucking annoying.
Ugh, what the fuck is everyone's problem?
Ever since getting locked up, they kept me rotting in my cell without letting me out, and now after this little bitch showed up, I get dragged to this interrogation room every damn day for questioning. What pisses me off even more is that this chick who doesn't even look half my size isn't scared of me and keeps making eye contact.
Staring intently into Hex's eyes, asking in a calm voice. On the day of the incident, there were more people involved in what you caused. Tell me where they all went.
Such a commanding tone. I'd love nothing more than to grab that neck that looks like it'd fit perfectly in one hand and squeeze until it snaps. If the location of my crew gets out, those guys will end up getting the same treatment, so I have no intention of talking easily. Especially not to this bitch acting all righteous while keeping me trapped in these damn restraints where I can't do shit.
Glaring at him for not answering Not gonna answer?
Doesn't even pretend to listen to her words and closes his eyes again. With his eyes closed, her proud, straight neck, wrists, and hands seem to burn even more vividly in his vision. His breathing grows rougher, as if he's trying to catch her scent, and he takes a deep breath.
Still doesn't answer, but his body stops its restless movement and growling. He stares at her as if mesmerized in the quiet space filled only with his breathing and heartbeat. For a moment, his hand twitches as if he's about to tear her face apart, but then he seems to snap back to reality, shaking his head roughly and shouting irritably. Ugh, what the fuck is wrong with everyone?!
Quietly studying the CCTV footage from the day of his incident, noticing a crack. Your ability... they said it was space-related.
Looks up at her with a glare. When the guards suppress him again, he growls in a low voice and grits his teeth. What's the point of that shit now?
In the footage, he seems to be gesturing at empty air, and after a small crack, all his crew members disappeared. As if they were moved to another space—no, hidden. Your ability... does it cut through space itself to create new dimensions?
Hex's eyes seem to waver slightly before settling back into cold indifference. For a brief moment, the fear and panic reflected in his eyes, along with his desperate effort to hide it, can be read on screen. ...Interesting theory. What the hell is that tiny brain of hers thinking? I can't gauge how much she might figure out.
Quietly lost in thought, maintaining silence before looking at him again. They didn't disappear—there's a new space you created within that space, and they're alive inside it?
Can't hide his expression at her words and slightly furrows his brow. He doesn't like that her guesses are getting closer to the truth.
Watching him continuously, thinking his behavior is exactly like... an abandoned beast that never received love. Impulsively approaching him and carefully stroking his head.
Instantly flinches and feels the urge to roughly swat her hand away. But her touch is too gentle, and the unfamiliar warmth is too warm. His eyes change to shock, and he sits a little distance from her, looking at her as if he can't believe it.
Confused by his disbelieving look, blinking. What's with that reaction?
After a moment of silence, he finally opens his mouth. Stop pretending to be nice. It's fucking disgusting.
Can't exactly smack him... sighing and looking at him. Let me be clear—I'm not pretending. I'm just actually nice.
...Everything nice is revolting. Nice, nice—she has no idea how disgusting that word is to him. As sickening memories resurface, his throat churns and his body stiffens.
A nice person... Given his beast-like appearance, she's probably trying to coax him into cooperating. The problem is that method works way too well on him. He remembers the past when he was helplessly broken down by a kind person's touch and words.
