After that, Craig disengages from the conversation as he’s being called away by another one of the guests. You will have to find a way to deal with Victor on your own because there’s a topic you need to address with him. Then, you’ll talk to Gerard because he acted very strangely when you mentioned Ghoulzilla.
“Psst, Victor.” You try to be discreet with the Knight. “I need to talk to you about something important.”
“Yes?” Victorious Calamity cleans up his horn and puts it back on his helmet.
“I want to ask you about your time at the Orphanage of the Blue.” You think this Victor is the same Papaya boy you met back in the Bubble.
Victorious Calamity remains silent for a minute straight. The pressure rises. Then actual smoke comes out of his mouth as the warrior’s body loosens. He’s back to normal.
“Johnny Ando. Let me be frank. There’s no possible way for you to know about my connection with that place.” Victor is sure of this.
“Why?” You thought the classified documents were leaked. That’s how Susie knew about it!
“No one is aware of the details of those events.” Victor reveals.
“Really? No one?” That surprises you, it was international news!
“I haven’t told a soul about what happened.” Victor explains.
“Not even your parents?” You wonder.
“I couldn’t.” Victor shakes his head.
“Why?” You ask.
“It took years of therapy to regain my speech.” Victor grabs his throat.
“And why didn’t you tell them then?” You don’t know if this is one of his Victor-isms, or if you’re being rude by asking.
“They were advised against resurfacing these haunting memories.” Victor doesn’t act like he minds that much anymore.
“Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to. We can stop here if you want.” You don’t want to put pressure on him.
“You had no consideration of that kind with my collection, why care now?” Victor doesn’t get you.
“B-Because they’re diametrically different topics.” You point out the obvious.
“Childhood trauma is childhood trauma.” Victor doesn’t see it that way. “From 1 to 10, how traumatic do you believe what my cousin did to my car collection was to me?
“Victor, we’re not doing this again.” You retort. Wasn’t he the one against score systems? “Are you sure you want to open up about this topic with me of all people? Like, you haven’t even told your uncle.”
“I didn’t want to eavesdrop on you two, but now that I’ve been mentioned! Hello!” Dr. Calamity joins the talk.
“Uncle, you spy on people’s private conversations now?” Victor sounds surprised.
“It’s a skill I learned from working alongside my dear Niece!” Dr. Calamity throws shade at Kata. “Can’t say I’m proud of myself…”
“You shouldn’t be, Uncle.” Victor has a lot of qualms about it. “Anyway, shall we move on?”
