How do they think they'll die and how do they actually die?
How do other people think they'll die?
How are their artistic skills?
Have them finish the sentence: "You're never too old to…"
What's something that always makes them cry?

What types of music do they hate beyond any reasonable measure? "Purifier's singing…"
How do they think they'll die and how do they actually die? "I'm gonna die by killing Purifiers or medicine poisoning, if that is a thing." I never thought about how he will die yet.
How do other people think they'll die? Purifiers or his insane reckless nature
How are their artistic skills? "Bleh!"
Have them finish the sentence: "You're never too old to die."
What's something that always makes them cry? "None of your business!"

I had a genius idea for one of these earlier and now my brain is dead. I am very sorry.
