Agent O. ███████: I'm just gonna ask you a few questions.

Jude Kriyot: Okay.

Agent ███████: Your name is Jude Kriyot, correct?

Kriyot: Yeah.

Agent ███████: You’re a student from [REDACTED]?

Kriyot: Was. Not really doing much these days.

Agent ███████: Why did you do something to the statue?

Kriyot: The statue? I thought this was about the dude freez-

Agent ███████: Please answer the question, Mr. Kriyot.

Kriyot: Sorry. Uh, I got a letter from an old teacher. He had… stuff. Y'know. He told me to do it or that, uh, stuff would. Y'know. The stuff would be aired. We sent some letters back and forth, I was asking how he'd know, he dodged it by saying he had friends in the area.

Agent ███████: Do you still have these letters?

Kriyot: I've only got a few left. I took to… burning them. After a bit. But I can get them if-

Agent ███████: That won't be necessary, thank you.

A raid on Mr. Kriyot's home after interview discovered letters confirming correspondence with said teacher. Ashes were found in the trash can.

Agent ███████: Could you describe this man to me?

Kriyot: Okay. Old white dude, probably in his, uh… seventies? Grey hair, pretty long. Usually wears a ponytail.

Description and letters correspond to PoI ████, former teacher at [REDACTED].

Agent ███████: Do you know why he wanted you to place the yarn on the statue?

Kriyot: Well, he knew me, and he knew he had me by the balls.

Agent ███████: Allow me to rephrase. Do you know his reasoning for wanting the yarn placed on the statue?

Kriyot: Yeah. He mentioned that it was a metaphor or something. He was a sucker for bullshi- er, sorry, pompous gestures.

Agent ███████: It's all right. Could you explain what you mean by appeal?

Kriyot: Well, you know, Theseus killed the Minotaur. Dude's old. Told me his health wasn't the best, thought maybe this would make the old gods happy or something. He, uh, also knew my health wasn't the best, mentioned something about it doing the same for me.

Agent ███████: Were you expecting the statue to move?

Kriyot: What?

Agent ███████: Did you think the statue would move?

Kriyot: Oh.

Agent ███████: We have witnesses saying the statue pointed at Mr. █████ and Mr. ███████.

Interviewee remains silent for one minute.

Agent ███████: Are you all right, Mr. Kriyot?

Kriyot: No. I'm not all right.

Agent ███████: Would you like to take a moment?

Kriyot: [Pause] No. I can continue.

Agent ███████: Why the silence?

Kriyot: I'm sorry. It. Reminded me of some shit.

Agent ███████: Some shit?

Kriyot: I. Yeah. I, uh. Look man. I burned the letters for a reason. [Pause] The teacher had an art group at the college. He asked me to show up once.

Agent ███████: An art group?

Kriyot: Yeah. When I got there, uh. It was a warehouse, I guess. A private art show. There was a… a statue, sculpture, whatever, fuckin' Dali thing. Moved when you put a coin in it. And… She was there. There because I was there, because I told her… Because I told her it was cool.

Interviewee remains silent for one minute.

Kriyot: I'm sorry, I. I'm sorry. I didn't, I'm… I knew… her… I… I don't, want to. I… knew her, and she trusted me. And I was, I was young, and I was stupid, so fuckin' stupid, and I wasn't told what was happening until I looked and I should've fucking known, and she's fucking gone, she's gone, and she's fucking GONE because of me. Because I couldn't FUCKING stand it. Because I fucking… Fucking left my skin. Just slunk away into myself like a fucking snake shedding its filthy stupid fucking rotten husk of itself. I. I checked out. Because I was a coward. She's gone. I just. And someone I knew. Someone I knew had made it. And it was fucking praised, they fucking clapped. They clapped like it was just some fucking piece of performance art, and I just sat there, stupid fucking useless me, watching on as it happened. After the show I... They told me I was young. And I just... didn't understand art, or the point they were trying to make. That I… Oh. Oh my god. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't see the statue mo- I didn't see this statue move. I'm sorry. Fuck. Fuck…

Interviewee remains silent for two minutes.

Agent ███████: I'm sorry, Mr. Kriyot.

Interviewee declines to respond.
