Do You Like Pain?

"Three questions. Don't push it." Once again, arms crossed and with eyes steering daggers, she barked back.

"Well then, shall we begin the interview?"

|...|

Nine million-plus.

If you're wondering what that number signifies, well, it's only the totality of all possible combinations in the first three moves of chess. It may not be an exaggeration when you say you can't run out of options.

That being said, faced with an endless amount of choices, indecisiveness will plaque your mind... and that's the last thing you want in this battle.

"I have to warn you, Miles. I won't answer every question, so best be careful." Leaning forward as her elbows pressed against the table, she muttered provokingly.

These three following questions will be my first three moves... a game of chess has begun, and I'm at a disadvantage.

My foot won't stop shaking... Well, fuck it.

"First, I'd like to go back to what you mentioned before." Barely preventing myself from stuttering, I responded. "You were about to show me how you've made me your puppet earlier. Can you summarize for me now?"

With an unfazed glare that stared into my eyes, she replied, "As blunt as always, Miles. I thought I could spare some small talk to calm you down, but anyways..."

She noticed my foot, didn't she? Well, this is bad, and that sarcasm added insult to injury, but I made it this far, so I can't lose now.

"The life you've experienced so far is the most exceptional piece of art I've ever designed. You really are blank canvass, Miles, and I'm your creator." Still, with a sharp stare, she proclaimed proudly.

"That... doesn't answer my question." Unperturbed by her remarks, I hissed.

"I'm sure you've noticed the colorful personalities around you. Don't you find it suspicious... everyone you've met is 'amazing,' am I right?"

A smug smile, an undaunted stare, and a cocky tone... confidence is written all over her right now. I'm sure this 'interview' is just trivia to her eyes, but... that works out for me.

"So what you're trying to say is... the people I've met was set-up?"

"Bing! One point for you, child. Although it's insulting to all my hard work, that's the gist of it."

While she spoke, I couldn't help but clench my fist. This bitch is playing around! Being taken as a joke is frustrating!

Damn it, Miles! Suppress it for now!

"Well, as a child of his grace, such capability is to be demonstrated."

"..."

Such capabilities, huh? It's not a stretch, though. She certainly isn't foolish enough to reveal all her cards, so there may be things that I'll never know.

But... I already know what I need to know. All except this one...

"Second question, you should've seen this one coming, but what exactly happens when I sign this contract?" Slightly more confident, I asked.

"I see you've calmed down. W-Well, I can't tell you the full details, but in a sense, we become one." Unlike previously, she leaned back, crossing her arms as she exclaimed in all brashness.

Did she stutter? And she appears to have withdrawn. We only met officially minutes ago, but I've already read most of her body language.

"We become one? What do you mean by that?" I added as I leaned forward.

"It's what you think it is. The pain you feel, I'll feel too, the world you see, I'll see too, and when you lose your breath, I'll lose mine too."

This time, seemingly retrieving her confidence, she seductively replied as she leaned forward.

"..."

To my own surprise, a menacing giggle filled the calm. However curt it is, the impending snicker had a vivid message.

'I've won!'

It screams of victor. Success has already been obtained, and any further effort abreast is trivial. At this point, I should be drinking to my heart's desire, but I can't celebrate too soon. I still have one last thing to do

"That should be enough. I've been utterly defeated." I remarked as I started signing.

These symbols are fucking alien, so reading the contract like a regular person would is out of the question.

"Wait! D-Don't you still have a question left?" She exploded as she slammed the table.
