It's canon! He tells the story to Arthur Lester, but also I've watched the game session it originally came from so I get to add more flavor when retelling it.

Some of the finer details I flesh and reason out from Collins's POV since it was originally (mostly) seen from the two detectives' (the PCs) POV. But yeah. It's hilarious to me in how ridiculous a scenario it is. I love it. X3

Oooo, we're tellin' another story.

My headcanon for his first kill is so stupid but I'm sticking with it. Tragic childhood get. It all goes downhill from there.

Got more of it, and his first human kill not long after that. He's about...8 or 10 or so.

I think 10 is about when I said his family moved to America so about that age I guess. It was not too long after Dennis killed the boy...

oops. a wall of text appears to tell that entire first story now.

My bad, I'm sorry, that's a lot.

He's definitely messing with Zichen here, but his stories are also true and that's his opinion and he's sticking with it. He had a very self indulgent life.

Collins is actually letting himself get therapied. Not what he meant to get himself into, and he hates it very much, thank you. But he's enduring it for some reason.

(The reason is Sheehan. He doesn't want to yell or punch Sheehan even though he very much wants to do those things.)

One step forward, two steps back.
