Hey there.

Well, that's your stepdaughter?

She's not big.

Yeah, long time, huh? Yeah.

So you're my stepcousin?

Yeah. You don't remember him? No.

Well. So you've been spending a lot of time in your room lately.

I'm trying to study.

Yeah. I have terms coming up.

Well, I thought I'd bring you guys together so you could do a little more

sociable things together.

Like what?

Like anything.

Get out of your room. Go do things.

I have a term soon.

Well, you can't spend all your time studying.

Well, I want to get into the best college.

Well, even the best students take breaks.

And your step -cousin could use a little social activity.

Hi.

Hi.

So how you doing?

I'm studying.

Well, that's what you're doing. How are you doing?

I'm okay.

Oh.

Okay.

What you studying?

Math.

Yeah? Yeah.

There you go.

Um, how's... How you doing on it?

You doing good?

I'm good.

Doing good in class.

Yeah, you got all straight A's and stuff?

Mm -hmm.

Okay, so you're good at school.

Mm -hmm. And you?

Um, I'm alright.

Whenever I try.

It's a bit overwhelming, though, sometimes.

What class do you not like?

Uh, physics.

It's your new favorite?

Yeah. Is it the teacher?

Mostly, yeah.

Yeah? Yeah.

My history teacher's an asshole.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Yeah, my history teacher wasn't very cool either.

Yeah. I ended up having two physics teachers. The first one was really cool,

then I had to get transferred because...

I don't know. They thought it would be better in some other different class.

The new teacher is awful. We do not get along.

Yeah, that's really unfortunate.

That's okay.

That's no problem.

So you guys are getting along well?

Yeah. We both have...

School in common, I guess.

This is to get a good score for college, right?

Yeah, I want to get into a good school.

Okay.

Do you... Are you going to college?

Yeah, yeah, I will be. I'm not sure which one yet, though.

You don't care?

I mean, I don't care. I just haven't really, like, done too much.

Like, looking at, you know, a little eventually.

Okay. Yeah.

How's your geometry going?

Geometry's pretty fun.

What's your favorite, like, thing in math?

I say data and probability.

Statistics are good, too.

I just study so much in my house because I'm really, really bad at it.

Oh, I got you. It actually helps out a little bit. Yeah? Yeah.

You guys have any of the same classes?

Yeah, we both do math and stuff.

I don't know, what math is this? Do you know what class this is? It's for

geometry.

Alright, so yeah, so you take this, and you divide it by that, and you get that.

Right?

You get it?

No.

Okay.

It's fine. We'll do another problem. What about this one?

What's a big problem you're struggling with?

I think it's trying to figure out, like...

I don't know, like, diameters of, like, circles and stuff. Oh, the diameters of

circles? Okay.

Mm -hmm.

Well, I mean, we could probably look at that.

I think it's divided by two things.

Yeah.

We need to go start a new page.

All right, so.

Let's draw this.

See?

There we go.

Go from here.

Yeah. And then divide that by two.

Yeah, and then you'll get the circumference of this.

Isn't this the whole line, though?

So do you have any, like...

Friends or drama school?

Yeah, Tiffany's been really not nice to Tiffany.

I have a friend named Tiffany. She's annoying.

She's the same Tiffany?

I doubt it.

Why, what'd she do?

She was trying to steal, like, this guy I was talking to.

She was? Really?

Mm -hmm.

Bro, that's ridiculous. He didn't, like, fall for her, did he?

No, I just thought talking to both of them. Oh, I mean, hey, that's always

It's always a good option.

You get it?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay, yeah. I think we're making some progress.

Let's see.

Do you need any more help with the Pythagorean theorem?

Yeah, I don't know how to do it.

Okay, so take this formula, plug it in to that, and then divide everything

by B, and then you get the answer.

You guys are doing your math problems these days.

Yeah, I know. There's always, like, 20 different ways now to, like, actually

figure out a problem. It's hard.

I mean, I guarantee we're not using the same, like, formulas or methods of

solving stuff the way that you guys were back in the day.

Yeah, we're all cool.

Yeah.

Yeah, if some of them don't make sense, it's like they want you to do a very

specific way.

What is your English teacher having you read right now?

We're reading a couple different books right now.

I don't know.

I haven't really, like, looked at them yet. I know that there was something

about, like... Maybe a procrastinator?

A little bit. Yeah?

Yeah. I know.

Honestly, whenever someone's like, oh, yeah, you can't finish this next month,

take it as a challenge.

I'm like, oh, yeah, you want to bet.

Granted, my quality kind of goes down a little bit sometimes.

Yeah. But, I mean, hey, it's fine. I'm still getting through everything.

What did they have you read?

Oh, enlightened men.

Yeah. I think I've read that.

I think they're still trying to keep stuff. Yeah, I've never read that. I'll

sick. Yeah? Yeah, that was a good one. Or, good story.

Of my friends, the ending was, you know, it was not, it was fucked up.

Yeah. It was kind of weird.

Yeah, it was super odd.

I liked the movie better.

Yeah? I never watched the movie.

I don't think I did either, actually.

Do they have you watch, like, the movies after you read the book?

Sometimes. Actually, there is one.

Yeah? Yeah, I believe, like, a Gatsby one that we did that one.

Interesting.

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Did you read that?

Oh, I never read it.

Oh, you never read it?

No, my teacher never had me do it.

I mean, it's cool. I mean, at the very least, you can watch the movie. It's

of interesting.

Yeah.

I just started a new class, and, like, my syllabus is, like, super long.

Really?

Oh, my goodness. That is ridiculous.

If you miss more than two days, you, like, you, like, fail.

Like, they'll ask, like, a new, like, assignment, and then they'll put an F

it. Oh, really? Yeah. That's ridiculous.

It's so dumb.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. I had a language teacher, actually, that kind of

something similar. Like, you only had, like... two bathroom passes for, like,

the entire semester. It was ridiculous.

I was like, what?

And then every time you, like, ask outside of that, so you, like, start

coins off your grade. I'm not even sure if that was allowed, but that's

ridiculous. What language?

It was German.

German? Yeah, I had to ask in German.

Yeah,

it was, like, German, French, Spanish, and...

I took a Japanese class, actually, but that was a while ago. I don't remember

anything from that.

Yeah.

When I was, like, younger, they had, like, Mandarin for all of the classes.

Did Mandarin?

Yeah. Oh, wow. Mandarin was, like, what was taught. Like, they started in, like,

kindergarten. Oh, really?

Mm -hmm. Dang.

Mandarin is really difficult.

Yeah.

Who's your favorite teacher?

Right now, I mean, my old physics teacher is probably my favorite teacher.

was really funny. He was like a big old lumberjack.

And he did physics? Yeah, he was like physics and engineering physics.

It was really fun.

Maybe that's why he was a lumberjack.

He was like 6 '4". He had a huge beard.

He was really big. He had a huge beard.

Really deep voice.

His voice boomed wild.

He was always really cool. We got along really well.

I know a couple times I would do maybe half the work and still get a super high

grade.

Oh yeah.

Would you get like, it's a lot?

Usually. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, shit.

Oh.

Bethany's going to be here all week, so there's a lot of things we can do. We

can play some games and, you know, have more social activity together.

Sounds good?

Sounds good.

There's something to do.

Yeah.

That looks like that hydrant. Yeah.

Haven't done a puzzle in so long.

I know.

A long time.

Great family bonding.

Yeah.

Keep us entertained for a bit, huh? Yeah. Yeah.

Good to see you guys are getting closer.

You've got a good amount of people to cook for, haven't you?

It's a big puffin. Yeah, it's a big puffin.

This kind of looks similar.

Nah.

A lot of pieces, right? Yeah, there's a lot.

It's really possible, so.

Let's go check it out.

Yeah.

Got it, though.

Is he still flipping them off?

That doesn't look fine.

Is it a notch? No.

Oh, no.

Maybe today. can keep flipping the program also.

It's great how close puzzles can bring a family.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's pretty peaceful.

I'm

just

looking for the edges.

Yeah? Yeah.

Do the outside of this first.

That's not good work from the outside in.

I haven't matched anything yet.

Some of them look pretty similar.

They look good.

They all look pretty similar, but I feel like the other one's quite matched.

I don't know.

I think they're supposed to be flowers, so they're all going to be a lot of the

same color.

Yeah. Thank you.

That'll get a better view from up here. Yeah.

So what did you guys pick out this puzzle?

They didn't like stand out.

What's that?

So we need to pick out this puzzle all at once.

It's just easier to grab.

Oh. We should have got one with puppies or something.

Yeah, I know. That would be pretty cool.

They're flowers of science, those.

Yeah, they all look the same, though. I know. They're kind of hard to

distinguish. I mean, like, look at all these. They're all like this smaller,

they're not quite the same.

of perspective.

Oh, I think this is a corner piece.

I found a corner piece.

They are pretty colorful, huh?

So did you get any extra good studying yesterday?

Yeah, I think you helped me a lot with my math.

Okay, did I get that good?

I mean, hey, if you ever need any more study help, I can help you.

No. Yeah, of course.

Thank you.

No problem.

Who was it? Did you ever talk to Tiffany or something?

I didn't get you kicked out, but you dropped out with them. Her and the guy.

I don't know.

She's trying to talk to my best friend and try to, like, get her all mad.

See, that's absolutely ridiculous.

Like, what the hell? I don't know. I just think it's all, like,

silly. It is. I mean,

I don't know. Maybe they were, like, jealous about something.

Like, everybody tried to confront her about it.

No.

I think I talked to her just a tiny bit, but I wouldn't say I talked to her

about that. I was just like, why don't you want to be friends with me? And she

just was like, I just don't. And I was like, it's fine.

That was weird.

By the way, I don't hear you, though.

It's okay.

It is. I mean, it's my family, but it's my friends.

It's true, but...

Family time is important.

It is important.

You know, I'll help you study and stuff, and then you're able to get into your

college. I thought that was side piece.

Side piece, corner piece.

I think that was side piece.

Did you call them side piece or edge piece? Edge piece. Side piece, edge

It's the same thing, right? Same thing, yeah.

Yeah, friends can be drama and stuff, but I think sometimes they'll grow out

it. Maybe they'll come around and apologize or something, you know? Yeah,

sure.

Never know what they're going through, too.

It's weird.

You can forgive, but never forget.

For sure.

Friends will be good.

Things are super weird.

Do you have a best friend?

Yeah, I have one of my best friends, though.

I feel like we're kind of falling out a little bit.

Why? I don't know. I feel like it's getting in a different place. We're in a

different place now.

But, I mean, it's okay.

I'm sure eventually we'll probably come back together at some point. Well, what

are things that you like to do?

I'm more into, like, you know, uh, like fantasy type games and everything.

They're more into like, you know, player versus player and stuff like that. But

it's all video games? Yeah.

Video games are what you like to play?

Mm -hmm. I like racing games.

You like racing games? Mm -hmm. Gotcha. That's cool.

I haven't played too many racing games.

Except for really good of them, though.

You pretty good?

No, I just think that they're fun.

I think those are probably some of the most fun for me. I also think that, you

know, I don't know, I try to do some player

versus player type games, but I'm not very good at them.

Oh, I got you. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.

I mean, I like a lot of, like, single player, like, fantasy games and stuff.

Like, what is that?

Like, what?

Like, you know, like, a really good story arc, you know, where, like,

like, you know, character drama. There's, like, you know, the whole plot.

kind of have to, like, go. The whole point is supposed to be fantasy. It's

supposed to just be, like, you know, fun.

Like, joke around.

Have you done a lot of virtual reality?

I have not, actually.

Have you? Have you ever done it?

Yeah, I just went the other day with my friend. Really? It was super funny.

Oh, I'd love to try it. That'd be fun.

Super fun.

You have to try it.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, shit.

Yeah. You might be gone for a while.

Yeah, that's okay.

Should we finish it another day for you?

Let's show.

Bitter game, huh?

Pretty cool.

Yeah, is that the right thing you were telling me about? Mm -hmm. You win.

I mean... It kind of looks like it.

A little bit, yeah.

Yeah?

Whenever this is over, you should do me a favor.

Yeah? Yeah.

That's what I'm saying.

Oh.

No.

Second place.

It's all right. What a bummer. You want to try? Yeah.

This card is a good one, huh?

Yeah. All right, I'll try this one.

Do you play any games?

Not too much anymore.

No, not anymore.

I used to when I was younger, I think.

Oh, cool. Is he the one that got you into racing games, or is that kind of

own? No, it's my own.

Okay.

Racing is fun.

That was a really long... That was my first night on a really long track.

You're almost catching up to him. Yeah, I know. I'm getting there.

Oh, I think I got it. Oh, yep, I'm gonna get it.

You want to give it a shot?

Yeah.

Let's see.

See what an old man can do.

You're doing pretty good, actually.

Sure you didn't play this before?

I think it's on pause.

Oh.

What? Is it? I don't know.

Oh my gosh, wait.

We've been watching, like, the, like, whole video game, like, just the

I don't know what the preview is. I don't know what I'm doing.

Oh my god, we have to see what the demo was.

Here, I'll let you do it.

Yeah?

You just play this a lot, huh?

Mm -hmm.

Do you ever take that test yet?

No, I never took it. Not yet?

Is it still coming up?

Yeah, it is.

Okay.

Do you feel confident?

Not really.

No? Do you think you can help me more? Yeah, I can help you a bit more. Do you

need any more help with geometry or another class?

Yeah, basically, yeah. Just geometry?

Yeah, it's like term finals.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, I can probably help you out with that.

What other things do you like to do in your free time?

I'm excited for gaming.

I'm really into, like, arcs and stuff.

But primarily, like, I do crafting and stuff like cosplay stuff.

And then I don't actually wear it. I'm more so just into, like, crafting the

armors and different stuff like that. And then the other thing that I get

into is 3D design.

I want to get into 3D animation, but right now.

It's a bit of a struggle.

So you're kind of a geek?

I guess a little bit.

Right now the biggest issue is 3D design and animation.

And it needs a lot of processing power.

My computer's just not strong enough to deal with it.

Do you do anything like that? Do you draw or art?

Painting. I think painting is super fun.

Painting is fun, yeah. I was never really good at it, though.

Do you remember?

Did you ever do hand painting?

Did I ever do what?

Hand painting. Painting? Yeah, I did a little bit of that.

Especially whenever I was younger, I actually did a lot of that.

But since I've gotten older, I don't know. I just... It's hard. I feel like

rather...

3D designs, like, it's not painting, right? But, I mean, I can make a, you

I can set up, like, a 3D, you know, area and make it exactly how I want it with,

like, the correct textures, lighting, everything, and make, like, a perfect,

like, image and stuff. And then maybe even, like, you know, edit that and,

Photoshop and stuff. And, you know, it's always really fun because that way I

can actually make, like, a full, like, I can make it a poster, really.

I can create my entire thing.

Where it's like painting, unless you're just really good at like high realism.

I feel like a lot of painting can be a bit more abstract.

You know, I'm pretty good at painting.

Really? I am.

Do you like abstract or like high realism stuff?

More life painting.

More life painting.

Portraits, stuff like that.

No, portraits.

Portraits, okay. People. Oh, okay.

I'm terrible at doing people.

What's the hardest part?

Uh, like, the humidity.

Like, getting, like, really detailed stuff.

Mm -hmm.

So, like, the hands.

Yeah, my hands, stuff like that.

Mm -hmm.

Uh, I'd say, like, a lot of, like, you know, like, the little, little things

here and there.

Human anatomy, you know, is kind of interesting. You gotta have, like, you

all the correct spots for, like, muscles and, uh, you know, different, like,

folds. The clothes are also really different.

I'd say that's my biggest, biggest struggle is a lot of that stuff.

Gotcha. Mine is the nose.

The nose is the worst part.

Yeah? Yeah.

Can I play some games?

Go and try it.

You got it.

Did you start the actual game this time?

I think so.

Yeah, I think I'm doing something.

No, you're doing it.

Maybe not bad.

Yeah, you got a good start.

Looking good.

Beat my high score of five.

Well, you already had three, so I think it'll work out.

You need to touch him.

Do you like sports?

Me? Yeah. I play volleyball.

Play volleyball?

Mm -hmm.

I'm sorry.

I did a little bit of that in, like, PE.

Have you ever had a big problem?

Uh, no, and I can't really say that I have.

Is it hard?

It's hard on the knees.

Oh, really?

Yeah. That would be easier, like, the sand.

It's loose sand.

Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah.

Hard to run around on there. Right, that's true.

I was in wrestling for a little bit. No?

Yeah.

Only the one?

I was in like, you know, I believe minor league baseball.

I was like really young. You can go for it. Oh yeah, I'll try it.

What? Oh, my bad. Here.

No, not that.

What? Oh.

Okay.

Did you ever play any sports back in your time?

Me? Yeah.

Baseball.

Gotcha. Did you play baseball?

A little bit of soccer.

Mostly baseball.

Oh, okay. And then martial arts and boxing.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

Yeah.

What position did you play?

Several. Were you a catcher? I pitched third base and outfield. I had a pretty

good arm.

pretty good.

Yeah.

I'm getting the hang of this more.

I was never really into racing games.

It was pretty fun, though.

A couple days.

I just had like a small break.

You?

I think I'll go back tomorrow.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Oh, when do you think? Tonight then.

Yeah.

I haven't gotten a lot better at this.

The game?

Yeah.

No.

You're never done.

Yeah, what do you say after this game? Will you, like, go study some more?

Yeah. I'm going to be a pet.

Okay. I'll be Allison.

She's got machines, so.

Okay.

And after that, we're going to, you know, talk a little bit about some

and some drama.

What's going on in your life?

One of my other friends said, like, really weird questions in front of their

parents, which you know, of course, you know, you want to say a little. Start a

conversation.

Yeah. Yeah.

You don't want to do that around your parents.

Yeah, of course.

Oh, yeah.

Oh.

It's kind of weird though, you know?

Good job.

So, do you

want one more game, or do you want to go sleep?

Yeah, I can do one more.

See,

what I tell you about the socializing thing, it's great, isn't it? Yeah, that

was super fun.

You guys seem to be broken out of your shell.

Yeah, I don't really... I was going to die first, but...

Kind of opened up a little bit.

Some family time.

Study time. I think the hospital helped a little bit too.
