"What are you going to do once you become a hero?"

Riley and Paige were currently in a room… along with 18 other registrants; seated in chairs and lined up in front of 3 people that served as their interviewers. Most of them thought that the psychological evaluation would be a 1-on-1 thing, but to think all 20 registrants were in the same room at once…
…this made those even with the most confidence slightly uncomfortable.
The rules were simple– answer the questions of the interviewers in 10 words or less. How they were going to be evaluated just with that, the registrants had no idea.
Riley and Paige were number 85 and 86 respectively, and right now, it was number 84 being asked a question; and like those who went before him, the drumming of his heart was loud enough to be heard in the room.
But finally, after a few more seconds, he took in a deep breath and answered,
"I… I will try to save everyone."
