"Hello everyone, I am Interviewer X from Penana News, and today I'm going to be interviewing Cameo Zachary Hunt from MarkTwain2.0's book, 'Fall of Ages'."
The reporter, X, turns to the boy seated across from him and smiles.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6BJLP6Olv
"So, Cameo, we'll start off easy. You're the boy who killed Beau Jaiden, is that correct?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5foitxjBA
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, and you had a few accomplices, right?"
"Four. My cousin, her boyfriend, a boy we found in Yellowknife, and the girl Jaiden wanted."
"So, we heard that Jaiden was planning on bombing the entire teenage population and-"
"That's incorrect. He was actually planning on drugging them with a top secret weapon, the name and nature of which I am not at liberty to disclose, and using the teens to destroy his enemies."
X starts and glances at the cameraman. Shaking off his surprise, he turns back to Cameo.
"I see. perhaps you can tell us about the events leading up to you retrieving the girl. Infinity, I believe her name was?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW2iP6tmCi
Cameo grits his teeth and lowers his head. When he picks it up again, his eyes are dull. When he speaks, his voice is monotone and hollow.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCik9pPdDwO
"Jaiden sent people to collect me. They ended up killing my parents and taking my brother. I escaped. A few weeks later, more government people found me. They made a deal with me. I could live if I delivered the girl to Jaiden, I'd get my brother back, and I'd never hear from them again."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DWDlb2uMd
"What happened to that deal?"
Cameo hisses through his teeth.
"I fell in love."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYOQYOhdFP
X stares at the boy. Cameo buries his head in his hands, a small moan escaping his lips.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uO35ufsH5
"I see. But what would that change? You said you were only gone for..."218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78JokjPL2H
"A month and a half."
"A month and a ha- Well, that can't be enough time to fall in love properly, can it?"
Cameo looks up at Interviewer X with a furious glint in his tired eyes.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYo23ry5Bk
"What do you mean by that?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1JJNVQQby
"I just mean you'd never met her before the night you collected her, right? You barely knew her! She was a target. A victim. To you, she was basically just collateral damage. And you got your brother back, so it was basically a win-win!"
"You don't know that girl. Not like I do. Not like anyone ever will. And I'll never get a chance to hold her again, never be able to feel her lips touch my forehead like they did when I was delirious in that hospital. That stupid idiot Beau Jaiden ruined everything! He ruined EVERYTHING!"
Cameo stands up and throws his chair at a wall, nearly hitting the cameraman in the process.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eW2z2uqq0
"Я не могу продолжать это делать. Она нужна мне. Эта девушка нужна мне больше всего на свете. И я буду мертв, прежде чем она простит меня. Так почему я должен все еще держаться за эту крупицу надежды, что, может быть, она уже простила меня?218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrF0urkFDX
X cowers in a corner during this outburst and becomes increasingly frightened at Cameo's use of the Russian language. Cameo begins laughing.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLrP5XLUiP
"Oh, don't worry, X. It's not the first time I've gone insane. Although, this time Fin isn't here. Perhaps I won't come back from it this time. Perhaps it'll just consume me until I can't think or breathe. Then I'll just up and die because no one cares and no one's going to come help me. That's gonna be so great, huh?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWYMtWyK5k
X slowly stands up and edges toward the door, the cameraman doing the same as well.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm43YfrcHY8
"Well, uh, thank you, Cameo, for the most interesting interview I've ever partaken in. This is Interviewer X from Penana News, signing o-"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LClEP0FgX
"Hold on."
Cameo takes a menacing step towards the camera - and that poor cameraman.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTefvONEHm
"Jaiden, if you or any of your accomplices are still out there, I'm coming for you. Infinity, If you're watching, I'm sorry. I will always be sorry. And X?"218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfOrYdO7h
Cameo turns back towards X.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXIR1AkfNp
"Ye- ye- yes, Cameo?"
Cameo flips open a pocketknife.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkvNCy2Lc2
"Thanks for such a riveting interview."
Cameo shoves X against the wall, pinning him in place. With a hollow look in his eyes, he slits the interviewer's throat. Blood spurts out over his hands. He turns to the cameraman. The camera shakes and falls to the ground, still filming Cameo. The cameraman is up against the wall, and Cameo slits his throat too. Blood drips onto the lens of the camera. Cameo drops the body, opens the door, and walks out, tears glistening on his cheeks.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d7IxxeOjE
