I transcribed the new interviews at Silverhandprint. Here they are. I transcribed all of them except Liz&#8217;s answer to plans after highschool. Doublestuf transcribed that answer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Question: With everything that goes on, how do you get through a day of school?<\/p>\n<p>Liz: My education&#8217;s really important to me, so I just sort of, um, block out those things and it&#8217;s actually&#8230;I block out a lot of the chaos that&#8217;s going on in our life and I really focus on my schoolwork cause it means a lot to me, and also is a way to sort of&#8230; deter my thoughts from things that probably, I shouldn&#8217;t be thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle: I don&#8217;t know man. It&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s not that uh&#8230;i-it&#8217;s, it&#8217;s not easy to concentrate but uhm&#8230; but I actually find a little, I just find a little *chuckles* don&#8217;t want to get into the specifics of it really, but a little uh&#8230;quiet time. Some form of a-uh, meditions supposedly. What I&#8217;m doing,<br \/>\nso. I don&#8217;t know, that&#8217;s, that&#8217;s helped me survive it.<\/p>\n<p>Question: What are your plans after high school?<\/p>\n<p>Liz: I would love to go to Harvard it&#8217;s a fantastic school but it just seems like so out of reach at this point because of everything that&#8217;s been going on. I don&#8217;t know what it would be like to leave Max an.. *pause, look* and everybody else.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle: I&#8217;m not sure because I-I-I *clears throat* On one hand I&#8217;ve always like&#8230; wanted to go to, uh&#8230;I&#8217;ve always wanted to go do this-this, you know like a, scholarship for some&#8230; athletics thing, you know just like an athletics scholarship to s- to a-a really, um&#8230; great college, I can&#8217;t really, I don&#8217;t really feel that comfortable getting into it, but uh, I think um, my-my beliefs have-have changed a little and, uh&#8230; still kinda want to go with it&#8230; but I might not do it, and I also, um&#8230;what was the question again?<\/p>\n<p>Question: Let&#8217;s talk about the Dupes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Liz: Well, I had to kiss that dude that sort of looked like Michael and that was a super-sketchy situation *laughs* I don&#8217;t know, do they, I don&#8217;t know, do they affect my life? I don&#8217;t know, I don&#8217;t think they did, I&#8217;m fine.<\/p>\n<p>Tess: It was extremely creepy having someone look like you, but looking like a complete slut with like all these revolting piercings, I mean it was just, it was really disturbing to think like I could have turned out like that, you know what I mean? But apart from that, I mean, they actually taught us things, and I&#8217;m glad they came along in that respect. We learned a lot. We know more about our home planet and that kind of thing, so. It affected my life, but in a good way.<\/p>\n<p>Question: What about Nicholas?<\/p>\n<p>Tess: He&#8217;s a scary little kid that guy. You know he&#8217;s like an old man, and his&#8230;real demeanor, I don&#8217;t like him at all and I hope he doesn&#8217;t come back into our life, cause it just disturbs us all and ruins everything.<\/p>\n<p>Question: Your thoughts on Grandpa Valenti?<\/p>\n<p>Kyle: It feels really great to know that he wasn&#8217;t crazy and everyone else, like, if he, if he&#8217;s, if he&#8217;s crazy now man&#8230;it&#8217;s it&#8217;s only because he was so burdened with this&#8230;truth, that no one believed. That they drove him crazy. They made him feel crazy, and&#8230;I feel so bad for him. It&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s<br \/>\nnot his fault.<\/p>\n<p>Question: What has been your most challenging moment?<\/p>\n<p>Tess: The skins were extremely scary, they freaked us all out. They kinda ruined our&#8230;few months with them was like craziness. We thought we were all gonna die to start with. We thought we&#8217;re gonna be invaded by these&#8230;peeling people. And, along with that came like Nasedo&#8217;s death, which<br \/>\nwas just&#8230; like heart-breakingly&#8230;it was, it was terrible for me, especially like growing up with him he was the only person I ever had like, to count on for anything in my life. But in a way it&#8217;s really made me grow<br \/>\ninto my own person and&#8230;realize that I can&#8230;I can do what I was doing before, without him, so&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Question: Tess vs. Liz&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Kyle: Like in a fight? *laughs* I feel I&#8217;ve gotten closer to Liz, um, in a lot of ways than, than we were when we were together. Um, I realize now that&#8217;s it like, all these like, high school relationships are pretty surface, you know. You have a friend ask the person out for you, and then you get to,ehh, you don&#8217;t really tell each other all these things you&#8217;re really thinking, at least not in the beginning, you know. It needs to last<br \/>\nfor years before you start to really&#8230;feel this way about *clears throat* Anyway, I don&#8217;t think even at that, that I&#8217;m as close with her as I am with Tess right now. And so, I um, you know she lives with us, um, he&#8217;s&#8230; part of the family.<\/p>\n<p>Question: How have your powers changed?<\/p>\n<p>Tess: I defintely have more control over my powers, we&#8217;ve all, like just all of us talking and working together whenever we can, we&#8217;ve developed so many more intricate ways of using what we have. Which is very useful in everyday life, but sometimes it&#8217;s&#8230;it&#8217;s hard to have that upon yourself, that you<br \/>\ncan, knowing that you can pretty much, fix and do anything, and not always wanting to do it. It&#8217;s kind of a hard decision to make when to use them I think, for me anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Question: What keeps drawing you back to Max?<\/p>\n<p>Liz: Well just the fact that we do have this real connection and there&#8217;s this fire and there&#8217;s energy between us and you don&#8217;t really want to give up on something until you feel like it&#8217;s reached it&#8217;s full potential and I don&#8217;t think Max and I have yet.<\/p>\n<p>Question: What answers are you looking to find?<\/p>\n<p>Kyle: I wonder what-is-what, how this whole thing is going to end, how-y&#8217;know. If they&#8217;re- If I&#8217;m always going to have to have them in my life, the- you know, the alien. Minus Tess, I alw- I want her in my life, but um, I&#8217;m a-I&#8217;m a little confused about the others. I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Tess: What our home planet, I mean I remember some things about our home planet, but I just&#8230; I wanna know, I wanna know what&#8217;s going on back there, I wanna know whether we should go back there, or whether we should stay here, or&#8230; whether me and Max&#8230;are meant to be together, which we both feel we are, but then we both feel we&#8217;re not meant to be, so it&#8217;s kind of a &#8220;we don&#8217;t know&#8221;. No one seems to know what&#8217;s going on with the four of us at the moment, it&#8217;s kind of like we&#8217;re in our own little world trying to work out&#8230; the answers and we&#8217;re just, not finding what we need to know about, home. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Lia for this.
