[Gen's going to be waiting for you, when you want him to be taken. He's just going to glare at you - if he had the Fourze Driver right now, he'd be beating you all senesless.]
So, what, some sort of mad scientist experimentation crap?! Che...
[[No you wouldn't Gen... You'd get messed up by the guards.
The guards don't give an answer, they just scoop up Gentaro, willingly or not, and get to the moving.
He's escorted to room, which only Gen, LowKey and the "elderly" man enter. And then, the other man leaves into an adjacent room. The man removes the gas mask, and proceeds to work at a station, which can be seen through a window from the other side.
[[RGNK taps the 'screen' in question.]] This is a computer. This is my sound booth, and... you're on the listening side. I'm not hiding anything... in that sense. [[But Rider boy has a point...
...so he opens his eyes. They're completely white.]] I didn't ask you to trust me, I asked you what your story was. Why are you on the Chalice.
You're dodging my question, but you want an answer, fine. Because I want to. I want to befriend everyone. Not just at my school, but everywhere. And I'll do it while protecting others.
Now, how about you? You're not like the others, are you?
But deception is an elegant thing. You have to balance it right or everything comes toppling down.
Adventus can get all around the world in a matter of hours. It's a worldwide phenomenon. Anywhere they can reach, I can go. I can play my music for the people. Do what I do best.
In exchange for making them look good, I make the people happy a few minutes at a time. And with them backing me... nobody can stop me.
[[Oh, he's got it right, Gentaro. He's just on the wrong team.]]
Ah, but that's where you're wrong - there is someone that can stop you. The Chalice.
You've all done something stupid and even I know that. You came knocking to our home, took us, tried to make us look like fools.
You've made the wrong people happy. What did you do, just make normal citizens happy? What can they do? It's those with the power to make change that should be made happy.
Che. Dummy. Power isn't what you have. It's what you do. I make friends my own way. If it means I have to fight, then sure. I'll fight. In the end, if it means I have another friend, then it was all worth it.
Tell me, is what you do worth it in the end? Be honest.

LowKey offers the Rider a seat.

Does this have much of a... space vibe?

Oh, hey, yeah, it does...!

[[Clearly, this implies that they know something about everyone on the Chalice, and they're finna grill you for information. Hopefully, willingly.]]

Why should I trust you when you can't even be honest with yourself?

That's certainly something. Even people who try and kill and kidnap you? Heh... Pretty twisted kid. [[Even LowKey is almost mocking him.]]
Like which others? You gotta come specific. The nuts trying to overrun the world with anti-mecha tyranny? No, I'm not.
[[LowKey chimes in with a little rhyme of thought.]]
The man knows he bein' used.
But he flips the script and uses yous.
[[Back to RGNK again.]] That... wasn't necessary, but... point made. [[WHAT point?]]

The world's broken. We shouldn't be fighting and kidnapping and everything - we should be trying to fix it. You should be trying to fix it.
You got the skills, right? Why not use it to help instead of... well... this?

Just because you don't have power, doesn't mean you're not allowed a slice of the Happy Pie.
[[LowKey]] Best mother fuckin pie there is, besides p-
[[RGNK]] Shut up, that's not appropriate.
But I'm fully aware of what they've done. I would even say I had my hand in it.

What I do is always worth while. But... what I'm doing is boring. It's gotten stagnant here.
I'm not inspired.

You're not a bad guy. You're actually pretty cool. You'd be even better setting yourself free.

Sometimes, the only way to get out of some things is to die.
