Green: Ah, good evening, Sidestep! It’s a pleasure to have you here- truly it is. You don’t do very many interviews like this, right?
Sidestep: ….Yes, that’s true. Listen, I-
Green: Not to cut to the chase or anything, but why is that? Your popularity is surging, you’re practically a household name. That’s not even getting into your partnership with our beloved Marshal.
Sidestep: ….That one’s simple to answer. I’m not doing this- all of this- for fame. I do it to help people.
Green: But surely-
Sidestep: This isn’t what we’re here to discuss.
Green: You’re right, my apologies. We did get off topic. So, rerailing this discussion-
Sidestep: Listen, I’m not trying to be rude, but can we cut this short? I have other priorities right now than feeding the tabloids.
Green: …
Green: Fine. I’ll get to the point. Do you have any information on the new villain that you just fought? What is their villain alias? Their weapons?
Sidestep: I don’t know-
Green: Surely you must know something. The viewers of Los Diablos need reassurance, given the fact that our beloved Marshal has just been taken away from the scene via ambulance. So please, Sidestep, what can you tell us?
Sidestep: I DON’T KNOW!
Sidestep: …I… I’m sorry.
Green: Hmoh, I’m sure. Can you give us more information about the fight itself? This villain is obviously not like the rest-
Steel: We’re done here.
Green: Excuse me? I’m not finished-
Steel: This interview is over. Sidestep, go let the medics attend to your injuries.
Green: You can’t just- hey!
