...Detective Cloe's POV...

...*walking* *door opening* *door closing* *camera POV showing Detective Cloe* "This is Detective Cloe. She is 19 years old, the one and only girl that understood me. You will know why she did after my interview is done with her." *walking* *stopped walking* What is the case here officer John? *camera POV showing Officer John* "This is Officer John and he is... John. That's all I can say" "Well, it's complicated." Well then, I'll just interview him myself! "Wait! Detective!" *walking* *stops walking* Open the door Officer. *sighs* "Okay then, just... be careful..." Be careful. Hmp, He is just a teenager! *The one-way mirror suddenly thuds loudly* What was that? *walks towards the one-way mirror* *looks at it seeing the boy just sitting* It's nothing I guess. "Wait, detective, one chair is missing there!" Wait for what?! *looks below* The chair is not there! *looks towards the one-way mirror* *a chair suddenly appeared in front of him going towards him* Ahhh! *dropped herself* *panting* *stands up* *walks* Open the door. "But Detective It-" I said open the damn door John or else! *unlocking the door* *door opening* *door closing* *looks at the boy* *felt strangely dangerous* *the boy looks at her menacingly* *shaking* *swallows* *inhales* *exhales* *inhales* *exhales* *inhales* *exhales* *walks towards the chair* *the boy quickly grabbed it and put it in the right place*...

...Wait, he put the chair in its right place! I guess he isn't that bad. "You can sit now I guess..." Uhh, thank you. *sits on the chair* *inhales* *exhales* "Are you nervous?" Uhh yeah hehe sorry, this is my first time. "Ohhh ok" *clears her voice* So, shall we begin the interrogation? "Mhm" *she nods to Officer John in the one-way mirror* *Officer John activates the recorder* What is your name? "My name is... Valence, Valence Johnson"...

...Valence Gonzalez's POV...

...I was named that because my dad is a Chemist and Science Teacher in Chemistry to be specific. Now, I am 17 years old. My crimes were a bit exaggerated. World Domination, Government Manipulation, Political Manipulation, Society Manipulation, etc. Yeah, yeah, I know. Most of them are just made-up crimes by the FBI here but World Domination? I don't think they understand my motives. Age does have a disadvantage in society, isn't it? Not always. It's just the society itself or the government. Maybe the authority. It's either anyone or no one and everyone is not a choice. I live in the Philippines. I won't tell you the exact address even though I should but you are a beginner so. Well, let me tell you a story about how I started from an ordinary student into a freaking... Nevermind. Why? Well, let me start to point out where I met a friend when I was 14. He is the reason why my motives are yet disturbed, why I am here, and why I am yet defeated. I have no intentions of revenge because it's my fault for making those people into someone like a President, Emperor, etc. I won't tell you my motives just yet... because the story... is about to begin. It starts like this....

...Yuno Anderson's POV...

...*high school noises* *walking* *stops walking* *inhales* *exhales* *walks* This is my first time in high school. I'm so nervous... but also... excited. *changes the scene to the classroom* "Valence!" "Here" "Willy!"Here" "Xyren!" "Here" "Yuno!" "Here" That's me, Yuno. Yuno Anderson. I was named that because my mom loves anime in the past. I don't know what that anime is but I like that name. Those two last names the teacher said before my name are my friends. * camera POV showing Valence* Valence is a bit cowardly and desperate for a woman and I wouldn't call him simp because simp in Oxford Dictionary means "Silly or Foolish person" but the internet like TikTok ruined it by making it means "too desperate for a woman" but he is kind, soft friend, and caring. Many don't know him nor do all of us and my friends fully know him but what I know is he is a kind-hearted person and there is someone that likes him more than he does. *camera POV showing Willy* Willy is an intelligent, brilliant, and unpredictable one but he is a bit lazy and scary when angry. That's because he uses his brain more than anything when it comes to actions to remain calm. *camera POV showing Xyren* Xyren is a brave, hardworking, and strong one but is a bit pushy and does action before thinking but in a good way because he wants to become stronger and reach our dreams. *camera POV showing Yuno* I'm... Me. Just me, Willy says I'm a reliable one, Xyren says I'm a natural leader, and Valence says I'm the talented one. For me, I don't know. Maybe I'll give myself time to know my potential. *school bell rings* "Class dismissed"...

...Back to Valence's POV...

..."Wait, let me ask you a question. How did you know that he told that?" Hmmm, let's just say it was written. *flashback of him seeing what Yuno wrote for the essay homework* "Mhhhhh, ok?" But to be honest, all of those words were true, with no flaws whatsoever, only because I helped him and he improvised it. "Ohh, wait, you helped him?" Well you see, for the first day, I observed their actions and behavior when socializing. "Even your behaviors are written on that paper you say?" Yeah, and it was true that I was desperate for a woman but it stopped because there is one hindrance. Friendship. "Wait, what?!" Hey, hey, hey, don't get me wrong. I don't intend on ruining my friendship or others' friendship with a woman. It's just my friends are easier to get women while I'm the only one who doesn't. I got jealous and try to make them help me how to make one run to me but they can't because it was natural for them. Anyways who cares about that, your here for my motives right? Those said things about desperation for a woman has nothing to do with my motives....

...I have a mental disorder called "Multiple Personality Disorder" or MPD but others mistakenly think it's "Dissociative Personality Disorder" or DPD. Well, let me correct them. I know myself more than anyone could know me but... I'm aware that God knows me more than I could. I don't care if you don't believe in God. Even the Devil believes in God and that God truly is the only one and yet his destination is the Lake of Fire together with his angels and followers. "Can we continue now to the story?" *sighs* So where was I?...

...Yuno's POV in the canteen...

...*walking* Hmmm... I guess English wasn't that hard... Math is just Math... It's hard perspectively but not actually when your mindset is telling you it's not that hard... I mean look at Willy! "Hey! My specialty is science ok, biology to be specific." But biology has math, right? "Not really, Math in biology is mostly needed at higher levels like college. It's a former requirement for the Biological Sciences Major. Sample programs include two semesters of calculus, such as MATH 1110-1120; one semester of calculus plus a course in finite mathematics, such as MATH 1105-1106; one semester of calculus plus an introductory statistics course, such as MATH 1710. So yeah. Do you understand now?" *nervous/bit scared* Uhhhh..... Huh? "*sighs* Of course, you won't. I understand." *relieved* I thought I was dead there. Oh and Val, could you help me with my assignment in ESP (Writer's Narration: Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao or Humane Education in English? It's a subject in the Philippines where it teaches you from Goodness to Humanity. I'm just telling you this in case you don't know.) "Hm! Sure, what time?" After the last subject. "Ok, good and ESP shouldn't be hard, right?" Ehhh... Hehe... Well, I really can't do the essay. I really can't think of anything so. "Hmmm... Ok then." Thank you! "It's nothing! After class right?" Yeah. "Ok" "Wait, me too, please. I don't know what words to use in the essay so. "Ok fine but only until 5:00 pm so let's be quick ok Ren?" "Ok, Val"...

...Detective Cloe's POV in Interrogation Room...

...Could we stop for now? It's been 5 hours or so. "Hmmm, ok. That's fine for me" Phew! Thanks. *nods to Officer John to deactivate the recorder* First day of interrogating the suspect, done. *recorder deactivates* "You know, you should know and do the PEACE method, right?" (Writer's Narration: PEACE method is a method that interrogators use to get what they want which is confession and they need which is motives and intentions. PEACE means Preparation and Planning, Engage and Explaining, accounting, Closure, and Evaluate. Preparation and Planning: to make a plan for how to make the suspect confess and tell their motives, Engage and Explain: engage in the plan and then if your plan has also explanations then explain, Account: to describe the event or to regard in a specific way, Closure and Evaluate: make a conclusion that makes the suspect confess and tell his motives to you because he knows your right and reflects themselves from what they did. Under the PEACE method, investigators allow a suspect to tell his or her story without interruption, before presenting the suspect with any inconsistencies or contradictions between the story and other evidence.) Yeah. Hehe, I know but when I first saw you, I got scared and trembling so much so. "Ohhh... Sorry about that, every time I look at a woman, they think I was stalking her. That's because I didn't know I was staring at them menacingly so yeah, that made them scared and go away from me." Ohhh... Hmm, I don't mind it. Anyways, you are an easy yet interesting one to interrogate let me tell you. I also observed and realized that the PEACE method won't work on you since it involves manipulating. I may go now....
