Scar had to blink a few times and settle his heart, wondering if he had heard the question right. Although all of the questions up to this point were strange, this question, which seemed to be the last of the lot, seemed the strangest.
'Are they trying to test my commitment to the cause, to see how far I'm willing to go to be a Deleter?' Scar thought. 'How do they want me to answer this? If I answer yes right off the bat, will they think I'm some sort of psychopath?
'Is the correct answer to say no in this position?'
Rather than thinking about how strange the question was, though, Scar was just thinking about the right way to answer to get the role, and wasn't directly thinking about the scenario they had given him.
"Don't worry, there is no need to answer now," Heino said. "You have three days to give an answer and think about it. We look forward to hearing your answer."
