"Man, what is the deal with these shops"

"huh?"

"Bro, pay attention. These shops, look around. Everyone's on a goddamn computer. Everyone that's 'someone', they ain't typin' shit."

"...Maybe that's the only thing they're typin'"

"Hehehe, yeah. Nah, but seriously, people come here with their groups and laptops and for what? For shit they can do at home."

"Well, maybe they're extroverts."

"People like parties, I get that, but study sessions in a room where I can't hear myself think let alone the guy across from me? What kind of shit is this?"

"20's. I mean, before the 20's so 10's? Well, it looks productive."

"Whatever man."

"I think you needed this."

"Sorry, I got better things to do than drink some hard to pronounce bean juice and flip through stories that'll be on Netflix anyway."

"I meant, when's the last time you've been anywhere? Like a place meant for...talking?"

"Just came from class... Social studies or, ah, history. Enough social activity for ya boi."

"Bro, we talk on discord over WOW and League everyday. Concurrently."

"..."

"Fix your face."

"Fix your vocab, fuckin' alien."

"We yell jargon into the void night after night and Concurrence is where you draw the line?"

"Lines been drawn since the fucker who submitted it to webster clicked his heels together and said, 'Yippie'"

"Alright, whatever. Point is, if it's not about games, you never talk. Think about it."

"Bullshit."

"It's cause you don't talk to your family."

"Ah, ding ding ding, captain obvious."

"You sa...Nevermind."

"Well! I said that because my family stop talking to me first. Who needs em? Drunk bitch mom and Deadbeat--asshole--scam artist dad. They still alive, you think?"

"Danny..."

"I'm deadass."

"Bro, I even know she was doin' that cause your... Look, but that's...Stuff happens man. My family ain't all nice and prim either."

"Nicer than that bullshit."

"Your cowardice knows no bounds, dude."

"You got too much time on your hands. Honestly, how do you even know about this place?"

"Starbucks? In Barnes and Nobles?"

"...Ah."

"We have to do this again."

"I'm busy, class shit and other worse shit. Like, existence."

"I'll buy you something."

"I don't read. I'll think about it. And while I'm thinking, I think you should get somemore hangout spots. These people? URK "

"God forbid people enjoy being around other people."

" urk! Stop saying that word, man. I...I don't know the layout THAT well."

"Well. See ya then."

"...Yeah...See ya. It was....Bye."

"Bye."

"You're gonna stay h...Oh, yeah ok. I'll see ya tonight, dude."

"If i got time..."
