Jack: Awkward silences aside, there’s something I’m wondering about you…

58.2

Steven: Yeah?

58.3

Jack: Well, the way Michelle complains about your last game, I would have guessed you were some kind TTRPG expert;, but having played with you for a bit - and I don’t mean any offense - but I feel like you’ve never played a game before. And I’m not even talking about roleplaying games, but it’s like you don’t even know what a game is, truth be told.

58.4

Steven: Oh, haha, whatever…

58.5

Steve: Truthfully, I haven’t played too much. My buddies from back home and I had just started playing Dungeon Crawler but then we moved out here… Michelle wanted to, um, make me feel “closer to home” I guess and that’s when she created this weird game of hers. I mostly just liked fighting monsters… I really don’t need anything this complex.

58.6

Jack: Hmm… So, tell me. Do you love Michelle?

58.7

Steven: Huh?! Um, that came out of left field…

58.8

Jack: Still, it’s a legitimate question.

58.9

Steven: Um… no offense but I don't really know you that well Jack…

Jack: So you don't love her and you moved out here just to find someone else and break Michelle's heart?

58.10

Steven: What? No! Fine, I love her and want to marry her someday. There, you satisfied?

58.11

Jack: Not at all. If you love her, Steven, why do you treat her like she's obligated to make you happy?
