Interview:

-Interviewer: Could you please state your name for the record?

-Orange: Guy. Uh... Orange.

-Interviewer: Do you have a preference?

-Orange: Um... no. Orange is fine. Just... old habit. Old memories.

-Interviewer: Yes, your records are fragmented and scarce. We were hoping you could fill in some of the blank spaces there for us.

-Orange: Where would you like to start?

-Interloper: Well how about we work backwards? Where were you on the day of the attack?

-Orange: Here. In the end. I was with Red and the Colors for some time.

-Interviewer: Held prisoner?

-Orange: Well, sometimes it felt that way... but I don't think that's how Red or the others saw it. I think, in his way, he thought he was saving me, from you.

-Interviewer: From AA?

-Orange: Right. He used to have so much faith in this organization, and in our mission. I think his slow realization all the evils that were possible without any recourse... poisoned him. He went from one of the singular biggest proponents of AA expansion and action... to one of its greatest enemies. But he was never the true enemy.

-Interviewer: There's quite an extensive list of dead and wounded agents, as well as destroyed or missing Anomalies. His actions weren't exactly that of a neutral party.

-Orange: Well of course not. He did horrible things. Ordered horrible things. But he wasn't... he's not a monster. Tell me that seeing the things he saw... done to his people... his family... the direction he felt shifting... and tell me you wouldn't have tried to make a change. He was no hero. But he isn't the villain.

-Interviewer: Did you two talk a lot while you were with him? Do you think perhaps...

-Orange: Perhaps what? Say it.

-Interviewer: Perhaps he had an... influence on your perspective? Time alone with a close family member who you used to trust and be close with....

-Orange: Maybe. Maybe he convinced me. Radicalized me. So what? Maybe he was right.

-Interviewer: That AA should be destroyed?

-Orange: Heh. You should have spoken to him back in the old days. The way he couldn't ever shut up about how great and important AA was. How this was the only thing holding this world together at the end of the day. You think a man just changes? Flips like a switch? He was pushed.

-Interviewer: By the Lady?

-Orange: Perhaps.
