That just makes it sound like they didn't—set up or make the game themselves or whatever.

Like they're just stuck following its script.

[grantee]

Like it's their responsibility?

[camena]

Yeah, or like they're just cogs in a machine or... something.

[grantee]

I think it’s just odd.

This world itself is strange. So it begs the question of just who they are and where they’ve come from — but it almost sounds embarrassing to pry that information out of a teenager.

[camena]

Yyyeah, I'll admit, I wasn't expecting any of them to be like... My age.

[grantee]

Maybe it'll be easier for you to bond with them that way.

You guys can talk about what's trending? Maybe find out what's hot around the city we're in?

[camena]

[ she snorts ]

Pfft, what?

The only things trending are McDonald's and IKEA.

[grantee]

Then they're favorite bands... ?

[ HE COULD JUST ASK THEM THIS ]

[camena]

I get the feeling it would just be bands I've never heard of.

[ different worlds and all that. ]

[grantee]

Well that might not be a bad thing?

Either way, I do think it would be a good idea to talk to potentially get to know them.

[camena]

I'll try. But I don't think finding out what's popular is a good way to do it.

[grantee]

Well you're definitely the perfect person to bond with another teenager.

Anyway, I only bring it up because I think it would best to treat them as friends. But they're just... part of the student council, I guess.

[camena]

You know teenagers don't all just automatically like each other, right? I think we're more likely to hate each other than adults.

[ not that she'd know what? being an adult is like, though?? ]

But yeah. I'll try to get to know them, anyway.
