IN-CHARACTER INTERVIEW
What is your earliest memory?
Hmm... I think I was about five, looking for pillbugs in my parents' garden. I was just poking them and watching them curl up, I thought it was cute. And I remember being really fascinated by the way they moved.
What's one thing no one knows about you?
Ah, I don't know. I'm pretty open, I think...
What's one thing everyone assumes about you that isn't true?
Haha, it's kind of embarrassing to say, but...! I guess that I'm always happy? I do always try to look on the bright side, but there's things that get me down, too.
What's one thing you wish you could stop?
...Feeling so guilty. It's not that I want to run from my mistakes, but beating myself up over them doesn't do anyone any good.
What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
I'm still working on it!
What are you a sucker for?
Robots! It's been somewhat of a lifelong obsession, really. My parents always blamed Isaac Asimov - I found one of his books in Japanese once, and then would not shut up about it - but really, looking back, I think I was always interested in machines.
What is your most prized possession?
I suppose if you thought of Rin as a "possession", then it would be her. I don't really know - I tend to value people more than things.
What can absolutely make your day, no matter what?
Seeing someone I care about being happy. Especially if it's one of my family.
What's the worst part of your life right now?
There are things I can't fix. Things are going well for Kaito lately, but there's still things in his past I can't make better...
Do you have or want children?
I have two! Rin and Kaito. Haha, though I guess they're not what other people would imagine when they think of "children"... Well, as far as I'm concerned, they're my son and daughter.
If/when you ever have children, what is one thing you absolutely want to teach them?
That their lives have as much value as anyone's, and that they definitely have a place in this world.
How do you deal with depression, stress or sadness?
Usually I try and get some work done. If that's not an option, I'll go out and get some fresh air.
How do you think of yourself?
I'm an okay person on the whole, I think. I've made some terrible mistakes, though.
How do your friends think of you?
I'd like to think they see me as a kind person.
How do your enemies think of you?
I'm not sure. I hope I don't have any...
What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
Mmm. Either creating Rin, or my part in creating Kaito.
What has been your most humbling experience to date?
... the day Kaito was born.
What will it take for you to die happy?
Seeing Rin finally get her 'heart'.
What would you rather be doing right now?
To be honest? Sleeping!
