Event Story – Escape The Prison, ch.3

[kozvme]

 

Victor: I made some coffee, Gray. With extra sugar and milk.

Gray: T- Thank you very much...!
I'm sorry, Victor-san... You always treat me...

Victor: I prepared it while making mine. Do not worry about it.

Gray: Since then, you have examined my "substance", my condition, you've listened to me... You've always been so kind...
I mean, in the first place, the fact that I can stay here now is, well... thanks to you, Victor-san...
Y- You talked over with the higher-ups for me, so... being able to still use my hero ability, having another chance are allー

Victor: Fufu, do not humble yourself much.
You have already thanked me million times.

Gray: Uh, s... sorry... I do nothing but say the same thing over and over again...

Victor: Gray, lift your head please.
There is no need to be ashamed, nor tense. I simply did what needed to be done.
That being said, how are we feeling today?

Gray: Ah... I'm do- doing good... I don't feel particularly off...

Victor: Is that so? Is training for the next LOM going well, too?

Gray: A- About that...

Victor: What is the problem?

Gray: ...... Jet... Uhm, because of my other personality things are a bit...
I mean, I am the problem, but Jet is also me... Huh? Somehow, I'm getting confused... Awawah..

Victor: Please calm down, Gray. I am listening.

Gray: I'm s... I'm sorry...
Uhm, Victor-san... What should I do to control Jet...?

Victor: Control... him?

Gray: Controlling Jet has become my current task...
He talks with me and sometimes comes out on a whim, but... he doesn't respond when I call him...
On the contrary, he says unnecessary things to the people around me... against my will...

Victor: I see. Because of Jet, it became an undesired issue.

Gray: That is right...!
I'd be happy if Jet could understand that, too, but... without properly meeting and talk...

Victor: Hmm...
How to control him aside, I might be able to provide you a chance to talk.

Gray: Eh... Really?

Victor: The timing is perfect; I recently received a request from an investigator.
There are still many different issues needing to be cleared, so it's still an unofficial initiative, but...
We are considering the introduction of an investigative method... to penetrate the deep psyche of criminals and study the information and thoughts there.

Gray: Deep psyche...

Victor: Well, it's turning more into whether the deep psyche of human beings, the inner world so to call it, actually exists.
That is, well... I do not think I need to explain that to you.
As a matter of fact, the device to enter the inner world is almost perfect. I presented a prototype model to a certain prison just the other day.

And so, the one that has been further improved from then is ready to use now, look…

Gray: ......!

Victor: It looks just like a massage chair at first gland, don't you think?

At first, it was simpler, like an electric chair, but I was told that it wouldn't be funny to use it in a prison...

Aside from how it is perceived, it serves its function properly. I have come this far after repeating the experiment many times, so please trust me.

Gray: A- Amazing... Going inside someone's inner world sounds like it's a game we're talking about... I'm getting a little excited...
Aaaaaah, sorry... You're talking about something serious and yet, here I am, saying it's exciting...

Victor: Fufu, I do not mind. I am rather relieved you comprehended all that without difficulty.
If you are okay with it, try using this device. It basically is used by two people, but it should work even in cases such as yours...
You and Jet are in the same body, but each of you thinks differently. In other words, Jet's inner world exists in addition to yours.
I am speculating that you may come in contact with him if you succeed in getting in there.

Gray: Is it okay to let me to u- use it...?

Victor: Yes, of course.
However... the problem is that you have to be temporarily Jet to enter his inner world.
You can wait until the next switching, but if there were a way to summon Jetー

Gray: T- There is... a way to call Jet. Just thinking about it makes me drip with crazy sweat, though...
