[he barely knows what to do with a single day of spare time and not having to work, so maybe it's only natural that he's never really been able to put the two together. his leisure time is very limited, but he gets the idea of fun and games a lot more now than he did a few months ago.]

I think I get it. [it's not that hard to understand, even if he's not sure how much this really compares to something like that. maybe if he'd ever played a video game, he'd have a comparison point. maybe one day, he'll be able to do that properly? he'll file that away for later. for now, that probably needs to be put on the back burner.]

So we need to find a way out anyway. [a brief pause.] That's what I've been trying to do anyway, but... what happens if we get a "game over?"

[it sounds really ominous.]
