## Interrogation

*Officer Hutchins:* "Ready? Hey, Will. I’m detective Hutchins, we talked a couple hours ago, remember? Now, William, I’m going to ask you a couple of questions, ok?"

"Ok."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Do you know why you’re here?"

### "No, I don't"

**Neutral/Smile/Disgust/Surprise**

*Your confidence level increased* [+1 Confidence]

**Sad/Scared**

*You didn't look very confident. Your confidence level decreased. The detective may have noticed that* [-1 Confidence]

**Angry**

*Your confidence level increased* [+2 Confidence]
"What's going on, officer?"
*Officer Hutchins:* "There's no need to get confrontational. We just need your help. Alright?"
"... Sure, yeah"

*Officer Hutchins:* "Alright. Now you are William Clarke, correct?"

### "Yes, that is correct"

**Disgust**

"However, that is not really my name."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Excuse me?"
"My name is Lila."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... Um, can you elaborate? Did you change your name?"
"No. The name Lila was assigned to me by the worms of Lawrence. Although, I've been known by many names since the dawn of humanity."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Could you elaborate?"
"A child is born. And with him come the shadowy figures. Each child has a roughly similar set of them. Some of the shadows are hazier, some take form after some time. The children can never see us, but we are always there, pulling the strings. And when a child invites me in, I can't resist it."
*Officer Hutchins:* "So are you saying, this is not William I'm speaking to right now?"
"It is not. But do not worry, you know who I am. After all, you were born with me as well. I am the one snatching children from their sleeping mothers. I am the nocturnal queen, the one known to cast both nightmares and dreams of lust."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... L-l... Lil.. I'm... Excuse me, I'm not sure what happened just now. ... So you are claiming to be some kind of demon or?.."
"You don't seem to understand. I want to talk to detective Yu now."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Look, bud, there's no detective by that name here. Now, let's go back to what we were discussing. Do you know this girl?"
"Of course. She is the reason I am here, talking to you."
*Officer Hutchins:* "And why is that, exactly?"
"Because she looks exactly like me. And because my little William slaughtered her."
*Officer Hutchins:* "William being?.."
"This boy's assigned name. William Clarke. He was the one to invite me in."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I see. So you are saying that I am now talking to some being inhabiting the body of William Clarke? ... You know Will, it's a very common thing guilty people do. They come up with those stories to clear their conscience. But it was *you*, who did it, wasn't it?"
"William did this, yes."
*Officer Hutchins:* "But you *are* William."
"... I want to talk to detective Yu"
*Officer Hutchins:* "I already told you, there isn't a detective by that name here. So, back-tracking a bit... Alright, if Will did this, how did he do it?"
"I don't know everything. He was able to tire me out, to keep me hungry long enough, so I didn't look through his eyes anymore. But I remember him meeting this.. copycat girl. The spark of remembrance was nutritious enough for me to catch a glance of her. It all happened in a room, full of people. There was music."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Are you, by chance, talking about Matt Hurley's party?"
"Then, I could catch glimpses more often. They talked about silly things and then, he must have started remembering. I saw clearly. She looked just like me. Not nearly as beautiful, but I could see why William could confuse us two. He thought I came back for him. He thought she was me. So that's why he slaughtered her."
*Officer Hutchins:* "How did he do it?"
"He strangled her. And.. And then.. Hahahah. It's hilarious. He cried like an infant, the stupid guy. He couldn't take it in, the thing that was unraveling before his eyes. Delicious. So I had to step in. All in all, it was a happy coincidence. I had to clean up after him, though. Cut the body to pieces."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... We have found a book about tulpas in William's drawer. Would you claim that you are his tulpa?"
"The worms liked to call me that. They thought they had control. But they are no Gods. You humans can't create anything new. So all you do is create artificial empty spaces in your head, in hopes that someone like me comes and fills it up. And so I came. They believed it was a product of their thought, but I was here all along."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I'm sorry, you'll have to stop with this nonsense. You will be evaluated by the court doctors on more time after this interrogation ends. You do realise, that you'll go to jail, regardless of what you claim you are? This body, if you will, is going to court."
"It does not matter. My affairs may be fulfilled from any place. ... You could be dead now, had I wanted it."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Well that's a bold claim... In any case, there's no reason to continue this interrogation. The motive and the crime seem to be clear. We will ask you to lead us through the crime scene after this, so we get a more accurate picture."
"Sure thing, officer. Sure thing"

*Officer Hutchins:* "You've been read your rights before, right?"

"No, never"

*Officer Hutchins:* "You've probably seen it in the movies."

### "No, thank you, sir."

**Neutral/Smile**

**Sad/Angry/Disgust/Surprise/Scared**

*Officer Hutchins:* "What's with your face expression, William?"
"I-I'm sorry, I'm just not very good with showing emotions."
*Officer Hutchins:* "It's fine. ... Pardon, if I'm being insensitive, but have you ever been diagnosed as a neurodivergent?"
"No."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Have you ever been evaluated by a neurologist?"
"No, never. Got you."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Alright. Now, Will, I have a photograph here. Do you know who this is in the photograph?"

*Officer Hutchins:* "I see you are smiling"
"Yeah.. It's just - She's a nice girl, I guess"

**Sad/Scared**

**If all previous expressions were Sad/Scared**

*Officer Hutchins:* "Is something wrong, kid? You look frightened."
"I-I. I don’t know. I’m just afraid that I’ll say something wrong"
*Officer Hutchins:* "What do you mean by that?"
"I don’t know.. I’m afraid I’ll say something that will make you think I did something wrong."

**If else**

*Officer has noticed that*
*Officer Hutchins:* "Is something wrong, kid? You look frightened."
"N-no, it's nothing. I'm not frightened."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... Alright"

**Angry/Disgust**

*Officer has noticed that*
*Officer Hutchins:* "Is something wrong, William?"
"N-no, nothing"

**Surprise**

[-1 Confidence]
*Officer Hutchins:* "You didn't expect to see her on the photo, did you?"
"No. Now I'm really confused, to be honest, officer. What's this all about?"
*Officer Hutchins:* "You will see very soon. For now - let's just stick with the procedure. You do want to help us with this case, right?"
"Yeah, sure."
*Officer Hutchins:* "So, going back to Ms. Kennedy."

*Officer Hutchins:* "What was your relationship with her?"

### "We didn't know each other well"

**Neutral**

**If all previous expressions were Neutral**

*Officer Hutchins:* "... You know, William, I’ve noticed a certain thing about you"
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I find it rather strange, you look like you’re in some sort of comatose state right now. Why are you doing this?"
"What do you mean?"
*Officer Hutchins:* "For the last 20 minutes you haven’t been showing any emotions, nor did you voice change. Are you doing this on purpose?"
"No"
*Officer Hutchins:* "It’s really weird, buddy. Cut it out, will you?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about."
*Officer Hutchins:* "C’mon man, what’s going on? ... Loosen up a bit, would ya? You were acting all normal beforehand, what happened, man?"
#### “I’m not sure I understand”

**Neutral**

*Your voice remained lifeless*
*Officer Hutchins:* "... Why are you doing this? Do you have something to hide? Is that your defense mechanism? ... We can do many things, man. We know all about psychological pressure. If it’s an act, I recommend you drop it now, because trust me, we’ll find a way to get to you, got it? You got it, Will?"
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Say something, buddy"
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What, you aren’t going to talk now?"
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I thought we had a deal, William. Let’s go back to the start then. Tell me more about Tanya Kennedy"
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... ..."
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Alright. ... Listen. Now I will go out. And another detective will come talk to you. And trust me, he isn’t as nice as I am, alright? Are you sure you want that?"
"..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... Say something, for god’s sake!"
"..."
End of dialogue. Fisher continues interrogation.

*This looked weird. Officer Hutchins acts as though he didn't notice*

*Officer Hutchins:* "I see. Could you elaborate? Did you just say hello to each other, did you talk sometimes?"

"We talked, yeah."

*Officer Hutchins:* "What did you talk about?"

"I don't know, music and stuff. I don't remember. Just normal stuff."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Do you have any mutual friends?"

### "I'm not sure"

**Neutral/Smile**

[+1 Confidence]

**Sad/Angry/Disgust/Surprise/Scared**

[-1 Confidence]

"Well, Martha Jennings is one of my friends. I think she and Tanya were rather close."

*Officer Hutchins:* "So, Martha Jennings is your friend? Alright. Now, Will, you've said before that you weren't too close to Ms. Kennedy, correct?"

"Yes."

*Officer Hutchins:* "The thing is, we have already talked to some of your friends today. Martha Jennings was one of them. They seem to tell me that you and Tanya have become rather close some time ago. Could you tell me why they told us so?"

"I don't know"

*Officer Hutchins:* "Will, we need you to be very genuine. The stakes are high. You see, the real reason we invited you here is because Tanya Kennedy is missing. She's been missing for more than 5 days."

### "She is?"

**Neutral/Smile/Angry/Disgust**

**If confidence is high**

[-2 Confidence]
*Officer Hutchins:* "Yes. I thought you knew that. At least, that's what you friends say." [sic]

**If confidence is low**

[-2 Confidence]
*Your face dosn't seem to convince officer Hutchins.*
*Officer Hutchins:* "Well, William, I do think you knew that already. It is highly unrealistic that you didn't, especially considering what your friends told me."

**Neutral/Smile/Sad/Surprise/Scared**

*Officer Hutchins:* "Why didn't you tell the truth, Will?"
"I don't know"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Alright. ... You know, it's not about us making you a victim, buddy. What we need is to find Tanya. Will you help us?"
"Sure, I will"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Now, please tell me more about your relationship. How did you two meet?"
"We meet at a party. Matt's place.
*You tell him how Will met Tanya for the first time.*
*Officer Hutchins:* "I see. So you two two liked each other, didn't you?"
"I guess so, yeah."
*Officer Hutchins:* "In a romantic way?"
"I'm not sure."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Did you have sex?"
"No."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Your friends state otherwise"
#### "..."

**Neutral/Smile/Sad/Surprise/Scared**

**If confidence is high**

"Those are just rumours, I swear. We didn't.."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Well, that is understandable. Don't get all worked up, I know how kids are sometimes. Did you talk after that party?"
"No. We stopped. ... That's why I didn't know she was missing until now."
*Officer Hutchins:* "And why did you stop talking?
"I don't know, it just kind of happened."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Did you two have a fight?"
"No"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Why do you think you stopped talking?"
"Well, she must have felt guilty."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Why do you think that? You said, you didn't have sex."
"We kissed. But.. uh... It was weird."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Why?"
"I'm sorry if it sounds strange. It just felt wrong. Like it wasn't really her I was kissing, but a... I don't know. An effigy of someone else I knew. Or something."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I'm not sure I understand what you mean, William."
##### "Sorry, if it's hard to explain"

**Neutral/Smile/Sad/Angry/Surprise/Scared**

[-1 Confidence]
*Officer Hutchins:* "So you are saying, you did not talk with Tanya at all after that?"
"Yes, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "How did your friends react?"
"I'm not really sure, sir. I didn't see them much after that either."
*Officer Hutchins:* "You did not go to school, correct?"
"... Yeah"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Care to explain why?"
"I don't know, sir. I just - um - I guess I couldn't bear all the rumours and.."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Was it connected to her boyfriend at the time?"
"Mike? Oh yeah. That's the main reason, really"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Were you afraid that he'd do something to you?"
"Yes. Yes, sir. He's been in trouble for his violent behavior before, so.."
*It seems Officer Hutchins has heard something he was suspecting before. His stare becomes more intense*
*Officer Hutchins:* "Did those two have any fights recently?"
"Well, sir I-I'm not sure ... They did at the party."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What happened there? Was it because you kissed?"
"No-no, even before that. Something happened between them before, no doubt."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Can you tell me what exactly you've seen?"
"Oh, of course, sir. We were standing in the corridor with Tanya, looking at a painting. It was Hopper's cafe, I think.."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Just the two of you?"
"Yes, sir. Then I heard a door open and Mike came out. He saw us two."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Did he say something to you?"
"Yes, sir. He was very irritated, it seemed. He started yelling at us two, so I assumed he was a bit drunk"
*Officer Hutchins:* "What did he yell exactly?"
*"If I remember correctly*, he yelled, What the hell are you two doing here together?! Why aren't you paying attention to me, I'm your boyfriend, aren't I? ... He was approaching us as he said all that ... Tanya said something in return, so they started screaming at each other"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Uh-huh"
"Until he came and shoved Tanya against a wall. I tried to help, you know, but I'm no buff guy ... Thankfully, some other guys came when they heard the sound"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Like who?"
"Oh I don't really know their names, unfortunately. One of them was wearing a hoodie, the other one had, like, dreadlocks"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Alright. Were you two left with any injuries?"
"Tanya had a.. Bruise on her ankle, I think. I have this"

**If Lila won the fight or the fight did not occur:**

*You show the officer the bruises you acquired at the day of the calamity*
*Officer Hutchins:* "Hmm, these look old. He did shove you pretty bad, didn't he?"

**If Michael won the fight:**

*You show the officer the bruises you acquired on the roof*
*Officer Hutchins:* "These are quite fresh."
"Yes. As your people were talking to my friends, I was beaten up by Michael Graves"
*Officer Hutchins:* "I see. Hm. Be sure to mention that to the next detective, alright? These are quite bad. Do you need any medical aid now?"
"No, sir. It's alright."

*Officer Hutchins:* "We had a talk with Mr. Graves earlier today. He does seem very eager to put the blame on you, William. Before we continue the interrogation - be sure to remind us to give you a lift home, so that nothing bad happens to you, alright?"
"Thank you very much, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... Now, William. I will leave the room now, and another officer will come talk to you."
End of dialogue. Interrogation with Detective Fisher begins.

**Disgust**

"Heh, William, *William...* You keep calling me that. However, that is not truly my name."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Excuse me?"
"My name is Lila."
*Officer Hutchins:* "... Um, can you elaborate? Did you change your name?"
"No. The name Lila was assigned to me by the worms of Lawrence"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Who are the worms you are referring to?"
"I'm talking about the pathetic wretches, gathered by Lawrence."
*Officer Hutchins:* "By Lawrence, you mean professor W.A. Lawrence?"
"Yes, him."
*Officer Hutchins:* "You were part of his group, correct?"
"William was, indeed. That's how our... collaboration started. That's when he saw me for the first time."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What were the aims of that group?"
"Well that's easy. The brethren may have been stupid, but Lawrence has always suspected the satanic and deeply occult nature of our world's order. The streams of social will are in fact supported by this one thing... You see, there have always been works of art, music, poetry and prose that would live on outside the will of their creators. These works were able to capture something so deeply suppressed, something shared so universally between people that they were able to live on without the author's control. With the introduction of the world wide web, such works have been digitalized. Lawrence was simply seeking a way to birth such digital artifacts on a regular basis. I was supposed to be the generator of them. The animals..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I'm sorry, you'll have to stop with this nonsense. You will be evaluated by the court doctors on more time after this interrogation ends. You do realise, that you'll go to jail, regardless what you claim you are? This body, if you will, is going to court."
"It does not matter. My affairs may be fulfilled from any place. ... You could be dead right now, had I wanted it."

*Officer Hutchins:* "And why did you stop talking?
"I don't know, it just kind of happened."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Did you two have a fight?"
"No"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Why do you think you stopped talking?"
"Well, I guess she just thought I was boring. I might not be the best person to hang around."
*Officer Hutchins:* "And why is that?"
"I don't know. I guess I was just born that way. It's kind of always been like that."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Always, huh? Have you been a lonely kid at school?"
"Yeah, I didn't have friends. Never, really."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Didn't you have friends when you were young? It's usually easier to make friends when you're a kid"
"Not really. Just my mom."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Are you on good terms with your Mom now?"
"She's passed away, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "I understand. Did it happen a long time ago?"
"It's been 3 years now, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Must've been tough."
"Yes, sir. It felt impossible to bear for a while."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Can you tell me more about her?"
"She was great, honestly. She cared about me a lot. A bit too much at times."
*Officer Hutchins:* "How's that?"
"Well, she'd meet me from school until I was about twelve. She always knew what was up with me. Was very strict about my grades,"
##### "but that's because she loved me"

**Neutral/Smile/Angry**

[+1 Confidence]

**Sad/Disgust/Surprise/Scared**

[-1 Confidence]

"She did do some strange things sometimes, but that's... I guess it's because she felt lonely."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What things would that be, Will?"
"Well, my mom had a thing that I was not allowed to date until 16. I was friends with a girl and I kinda - um."
*Officer Hutchins:* "You liked her, right?"
"Yeah. Her name was Annie."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Did you mom know?"
"Yes, yes she did. She didn't like that, obviously. She started talking to me a lot about her, trying to convince me that I shouldn't be interested in girls yet, or something."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Hm, that couldn't have been true. I mean, how old were you?"
"Fifteen"
*Officer Hutchins:* "So, what happened then?"
"At some point she stopped with her lectures. I thought she was finally cool with my choices. Until.. um. Until I brought Annie to our house."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What did your mother do?"
"She asked if she could talk to us. We said yes, so she sat us across the table and - and she - she started saying nasty things, disturbing, shameful things, about me and about her. Some of them were true, some made up. I- I remember I started crying begging her to stop and she just sat there, talking monotonously, her eyes fixed at Annie ... She kept repeating "Annie, you are such a **naughty, naughty** girl." ... ... Annie wouldn't talk to me after that. I thought I'd never forgive mom, but you know. I guess when you live with somebody, you always forgive them at some point"
*Officer Hutchins:* "That sounds terrible, Will. Life must have been hard with a parent like this."
"No, I.. She protected me, you know. I guess she just wanted to be the only one I cared about. That's normal for a human. Isn't it?"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Can I ask you, how she died?"
"I can't remember too much, for some reason. I just know one day there was a problem with the piping. She went down to fix it and - and"
*You can't speak further*
*Officer Hutchins:* "It's alright, Will"
"Sorry, I just really miss her, sir"
Dialogue continues to discussion about Lawrence Fraternity.

**Angry/Disgust**

**If confidence is high**

"... They aren't my friends"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Come again?"
"They aren't my friends. They hate my guts, all of them."
*Officer Hutchins:* "How come?"
"I don't know. It's 'cause I'm different"
*Officer Hutchins:* "In what way are you different?"
"You know in what way. I don't care about stupid stuff they talk about. I don't wear fancy clothes. I'm smart. Finally, you know - My face?"
*Officer Hutchins:* "I see. So, how does this hate express itself?"
"Well, for the most part they'd just act like I wasn't there ... You know, they'd.. uh.. Call me names. Freak. Weirdo. Classic stuff. School kids."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What else would they do?"
"Hide my stuff. Destroy things I own. Steal from me ... I wouldn't be surprised if they - if they tried to frame me"
#### "for something they've done to Tanya"

**Neutral**

*You remain cool*
Dialogue identical to the **Smile/Sad/Surprise/Scared** fork.

**Smile/Sad/Surprise/Scared**

*Officer Hutchins:* "So you are saying, something happened to Tanya?"
"I don't know that. All I know is they hate me, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Well, do you have anything to back that statement up?"
"No, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "We will interrogate them too, so don't worry. We'll find out the truth."
Dialogue continues to discussion about Lawrence Fraternity.

**Angry/Disgust**

*You are agitated. The detective seems to have noticed that*
*Officer Hutchins:* "They were pretty sure when they said it was you. We are good at detecting lies. We've talked to Martha Jennings..."
"She's lying, I'm telling you! She's always done that. Let me guess, they all just sat there with their stupid faces - As if they were worrying. Maybe some tears, eh? No fucking way it's me, it's bullshit!"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Will.."
"I wouldn't be surprised if they fucking murdered her - Like those DADA weirdos. Hell, some of them could be part of that DADA group.."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Now, calm down, calm down, William. I hear you. No need to be agitated, we are here to talk. And figure all those things out. You do realise they are friends with Michael Graves? And that the DADA are the right extremists? So it's basically non-sensical for any of them to be part of it. ... Peculiar that you know about that group at all. Where have you learned about it?"
"... the Internet, where else"
*Officer Hutchins:* "All right. This isn't very important anyway."
Dialogue continues to discussion about Lawrence Fraternity.

**If confidence is low**

"... They aren't my friends"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Come again?"
"They aren't my friends. They hate my guts, all of them."
*Officer Hutchins:* "How come?"
"I don't know. I guess, I'm just not good enough. You know, as a human being"
*Officer Hutchins:* "Why not?"
"Well, you know. My face. I can't talk to people. ... I am a failure at pretty much everything, sir."
*Officer Hutchins:* "Well that's not usually why people hate somebody. If what you say is the case, I'd think they pity you."
"No they fucking don't - I mean.. Sorry. They don't"
*Officer Hutchins:* "How do you know that?"
"Well they wouldn't pick on me if they pitied me, would they? They wouldn't call me names and - and hide my stuff. And steal from me"
*Officer Hutchins:* "What have they stolen from you?"
"Many.. um. Things"
*Officer Hutchins:* "I see. I'm not sure what you're getting at, though, Will"
"I'm just saying that if anything happened to Tanya and it was their fault..."
*Officer Hutchins:* "What, do you think these guys are trying to frame you?"
#### "That might be the case"

*Officer Hutchins:* "Let's change the topic for now. Now, I'm not going to grill you about this, but I know you've been part of a certain ... Gathering. The Lawrence Fraternity. Rings any bells?"

"Yes, sir."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Is this something you are comfortable talking about?"

"Yes, sir. ... Even if I wasn't, you'd interrogate me anyway, wouldn't you? So, please, ask away."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Right now I'll just need a couple of details. First, when was it exactly when you first enrolled?"

"June 11., sir. But I've been helping out Father Lawrence for a while before I was actually initiated."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Alright. Then, what was the mission of the group? Did you try to convert as many people as possible?"

"Not really, sir. Actually, it seems that only Fathers closest circle was allowed in. As for the end goal, I was never told what it was, or if there was one. It seems, I was too low of a tier. ... No chance to get higher in the hierarchy now, since the..."

*Officer Hutchins:* "The Fire? Tell me more about that, please. You weren't present, when it happened, right?"

"Yes, sir."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Why? It must have been a group meeting."

"I was at home, ill. A migraine."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Is there anyone to confirm that?"

"... Yes, actually. Ms. Hutchins, our concierge, was kind enough to come and check on me."

*Officer Hutchins:* "Oh, so Dorothy's.. Alright. We'll check on that. ... Now, William. I will leave the room now, and another officer will come talk to you."
