Dr: Hello, Madison. I am going to be questioning you today.

Madison: I want my lawyer.

Dr: Due to circumstanses beyond your control, you may not speak to your lawyer.

Madison: Am I being arrested?

Dr: Not currently, no.

Madison: you mean I might be later?

Dr: if you've done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about, okay? Now, let's begin. Who first introduced you to this game?

Madison remains quiet for three seconds

Madison: um, Max _ told it to me… He's my friend- Is that what this is about? Oh- Do you want to play it?

Dr: no thanks. Who introduced the game to Max?

Madison: his dad.

Dr: we'd like to track all the people who have ever been introduced to this game. Could you help with that?

Madison: What are you trying to say? I know you people might not be able to comprehend that this game makes no logical sense. But at least give it a-

Dr: let me stop you there. Don't you realize that there could be negative effects to this game? It could be a curse waiting to activate. We might be able to save lives if we knew where to find these games. It would be a great deal of help to us and to many other people if you could tell us where it came from so we could prevent any damages.

Madison: but I know that this game does no harm to anybody! I can just… Feel it! It's a fountain of infinite joy! I know some people might get addicted, but it will be fine. I can't think of any way this would be bad for humanity.

Dr: we have some examples of how it is bad.
Would you like us to show you?

Madison: really!? But… No, I don't want to… That would be… Fountain of… I don't want this to end! Joy to the world! What could possibly be bad about this game? It's a fountain of happiness. Is it actually a curse? Do you have that information- that it's a curse? Am I part of it? My worst fear is being tortured! I don't want to be tortured!

Subject remains silent for twenty seconds

Madison: can I please leave? I want my game back too.

Dr: I'm sorry, but we can't do that.

Madison: wow. I'm happy and you people want to take that away from me. I don't believe in you guys. You're like the Taliban. I bet you think God doesn't want people to be happy, so you're trying to take that away from me. Is that why I'm here? Do you have reason to believe that God doesn't want us to be happy? If you can prove that, then I'll help you.

Dr: thank you for your time, Madison.

Dr: Hello, Brian. So, you say you're the maker of this game?

Brian: that's correct.

Dr. Can you tell us how you made it?

Brian: yeah. I had a career as an electrician company CEO. That's where I got the money to make and produce these games. It wasn't easy, I had to take social skills classes to get better at conducting meetings with potential business partners and entreprenuers. I also went to business school- that's how I made the company, and that's how I made the game, too. Anyways, why am I here?

Dr: are you aware of the side effects of the game?

Brian: um… What do you mean? Like, the enjoyment of the game? Yeah. I know. A "side effect". (Chuckles) that's a wierd way of putting it.

Dr. Are you aware that people who play this game tend to be very happy? I mean, extremely happy. Like they're on drugs. This isn't normal.

Brian: I don't know what you're talking about. Is that why I'm here? Because of some non-existent side effect?

Dr: not everybody who plays this game gets happy, you know. Some of them have terrible hilucinations. Some of them become anxious.

Brian: wait, what? They do!? Well… Oh. Um… That's not what I was intending…

Dr: what do you mean by that?

Brian: okay, I know the game makes people very happy. So is that why I'm here? I did that on purpose. Surprised?

Dr: that's why you're here, yes. We'd like your help in curing these people. They're not well, Brian.

Brian: oh, my God, holy shit, I-I…. Didn't think this would- oh God (smacks himself on the head) how could I be this stupid? Of course there would be some terrible side effects to this! I don't know what to do about that! I don't know what I'm doing! Holy fuck, I've bitten off more than I can chew, I never meant to hurt anyone! Okay, look, I don't know how to fix this.

Dr: don't worry Brian. we can work it out.

Brian: okay. Thank God. *Sighs* I could tell you how I made it. It's simple really. All you have to do is [REDACTED].

Dr: Thank you. now, listen. Lean in here, let me tell you a secret.

(Inaudible)

Dr: got it? Good. Now tell me. How did you make this game?

Brian: but I just told you… H-H…. What do you mean?

Dr: let's quit playing games here, Brian. I need your help. I've been having panic attacks.

Brain: oh, um. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix that.

Dr: okay, I'm done. That's it.
