cw: CULT NONSENSE

[ Vincent makes an "I dunno" sound at the question. ]

I find most people don't even have that much. [ But that's how he's come to see society in the long run. Godless people who don't have anything. ] What is about people that makes me want to recruit them? It comes down that they would be susceptible to teaching of the Order and God.

[ He gestures above their head. ] She isn't here but it's the thought that counts, I suppose. [ A brief smile. ] Curiosity is one thing. Usefulness is another. [ He holds his hand up. ] You're useful, don't worry. I consider you to be an ever shifting investment.

No, no, a person needs to be a bond not an investment. There has to be an emptiness inside of them that is waiting to be filled. One that they're not even aware of, but as you talk to them, as you interact with them, you can sense that they're longing for something just outside of their reach. [ He makes a gesture with his hand, curling his fingers. ] For whatever you are, Riz, you're not yet empty enough to be one I want.

If you do become so, I'll ask you to join us as well. [ A beat. ] That's why it's not a good or bad thing. It's just you're not where you need to be yet.
