...Admittedly, I didn't know how to do this one. None of the characters in the original trilogy (which is what I'm focusing on) really go insane except for Gol and Maia, and at the time I didn't really want to write them. So instead, I decide to do another OC, and do a weird ass format. I think the theme goes better with my mental state, at this point.
XII. Insanity
[The following is an except between a Police Officer a recent prisoner, who was arrested for driving under the influence with a Blood Alcohol Content of 1.2, as well as being underage. The transcript was taken from video and audio surveillance inside the interrogation room, before the prisoner's bail was paid and she was escorted out of the police station. Following the confidentiality clause, the police officer will be referred to as PO, and the prisoner as VR]
Before PO enters the room, VR is seated at a table with her hands cuffed, but is swaying slightly in her seat. Her gaze appears unfocused and she seems dazed. Upon PO's arrival, she turns to look at him, briefly forgetting that she is handcuffed to the table as she attempts to move her hands.
PO: Hello there, Miss [ ].
VR: H'lloooo.
Her speech is audibly slurred.
PO: I'm sure that you must be regretting that you were driving under the influence.
VR: Naaaah, I'm not dr'nk. Can't be dr'nk, 'm seventeen.
PO: Exactly, which is why you were arrested.
The police officer marks something down on his report, and then turns to leave.
PO: Well, I was just here to see if you were aware if you were drunk and confirm that you still were, which you are. I'll be leaving no-
VR: No! Please! Don' leave like she did.
He hesitates before sighing, pulling out the chair opposite of VR and sitting down.
PO: C'mon, spill the beans.
VR: Wha' beans?
She laughs before looking at her hands.
VR: M' friend. She left, and 'm tryin' ta get her back. I want her back so bad.
PO: Why'd she leave?
VR: She didn' leave b'cuz she wanted to. She left b'cuz of me. I did somethin' stupid an' everyone thinks she's dead but I don' and I wan' her back so bad.
VR begins crying, tears hitting the table as PO sits there awkwardly.
PO: I think⦠I think she'll come back if you just keep trying?
She holds her head in her hands, chest heaving as she whimpers out the next sentence.
VR: I think I'm going insane. Sometimes I can hear her when I know she's not there, and I'm working so hard, I'm working so hard but she's still not here I'm losing my mind. I just want her back.
PO moves to speak again before he is interrupted by the door opening and the station's secretary enters. For confidentiality reasons, she will be referred to as SS.
SS: Sir, her bail was paid.
PO: What? Right now?
SS: Yes, sir. Her guardian is here to escort her home.
PO sighs and reaches for his belt, pulling out a key ring and unlocking VR's handcuffs. She gazes confusedly at her wrists before being pulled up by PO.
PO: C'mon, I need to escort you to your guardian.
VR: ...I'm sorry.
PO: I know. I know.
