[Johnny's still a bit fired up though.]

You tell me! I was just playin' a goddamn game when that asshole went off on me. Goin' on about how the people in it might be real, how would I like it if someone was doin' it to me, shit like that. Dude's out of his mind!

[Yuna places her hand on Johnny's arm trying to pull him away from the prying stares of those around them. She doesn't think he wants an audience.]

That might be true but maybe that's because he's from a world that's actually like that. Johnny we all come from different places and we don't really forget our homes.

[She tries to find his gaze hoping that he might understand and calm down.]

[If there's anything this guy's used to, it's being a public spectacle just by existing. He doesn't want an audience, but he's too riled up right now to care.

He forcefully points at the arcade machine.]

This ain't a world, it's pixels 'n electricity! Unless that asshole can prove he's actually 8-bit, I'm continuing to believe he's just crazy motherfucker.

[Yuna looks up at him trying to find a way to rationalize everything.]

What if I was from a game?

[She tries to catch his gaze.]

Wouldn't you at least listen? [Because he isn't listening.]

[charming_jerk]

But you're not! You're standing in front of me as a whole person, not a pile of pixels or polygons.

[No, he's not listening. He's stubborn. And he thinks this whole argument is ridiculous.]

How could you even think something like this is a reality? Even the most realistic games where I'm from have their limits. And even so, they end! You turn the system off! They have shit like multiple endings and sequels - how can someone even think it's real life?

[Yuna lets out a soft sigh.]

I don’t know. I guess I don’t understand it myself but you can’t go changing people’s minds by yelling.

[At least she’s never seen it work out that way.]

[charming_jerk]

[Well, his enthusiasm is gone for now, and he starts to walk away. He figured he wasn't winning this battle anyway.]

Whatever. I'm obviously not changin' anyone's minds here tonight anyway.

[Yuna pouts but watches him walk off. She feels sorta bad about all this but she doesn't know what else to say. She knows that some people just dont get along but to almost come to blows in the middle of an arcade?

With a sigh she turns to leave as well. She doesn't feel like playing games anymore.]
