interview record
████: How do you feel about the idea of being far from home? Is there anything you’ll miss?KHENBISH: I don't ever get to do things like this. This is great. Sure, I'll miss it. But I also won't. I'll go back at the end of the day, right?
████: You seem like a resilient person. Would you say that you are?
KHENBISH: You really think so? You're going to make me blush.
████: Alright, how about this? Describe some of your strengths and weaknesses.
KHENBISH: Strong as hells. I lack self-control. I don't know what's good for me. I don't listen. I'll do just about anything as long as it's stupid and reckless and going to get me killed. I'm not good at doing expressions. I'm told these are bad things. I don't think they are.
████: Imagine the world ends today. What does that look like to you?
KHENBISH: Wouldn't happen.
[Participant refused further comment.]
████: Let’s say you’re faced with a twist on the classic trolley problem: a trolley is headed for five people who’ve been tied to the tracks. You could pull the lever and divert the trolley, killing four people. Do you pull the lever? Does it make a difference?
KHENBISH: What kind of dumbass lets themself get tied to trolley tracks? Wouldn't happen to me. Sorry you got tied to the tracks. Shouldn't have let that happen. Not my fault. Let them die.
████: Tell me about a dream you’ve had before. Good, bad… it doesn’t really matter.
KHENBISH: Are you one of those people who thinks that dreams tell you about your subconscious mind or future or something? Is that real? I don't know if I believe it. [he shakes his head.] Sometimes I dream about finally killing my sister. I would never do that. I stopped trying years ago.
