[She turns the journal around to show her sparsely-decorated apartment at first, and then, when she fixes it, a big, box-style arcade machine, the game title of "The Turning" splashed across the front in faded letters. It looks kind of beaten up, but not in too terrible a condition.]
Does anybody know about this game? It's supposed to be so cool, I heard all about it from a friend back home. I can't get it to work, though... they're supposed to be plugged in, right? It's in the middle of the room, so the cord won't reach anything.
Can somebody strong come over and help me move it? I wanna give it a try! ...And if it doesn't work, would anybody know how to fix this kind of thing?

No I'm not! What are you going to do if you end up getting your hopes up for nothing, huh?

Be disappointed? I'm used to that, it's not going to kill me. At least I get to feel excited until it happens.
[Seriously, where did being a cynic ever get anyone?]

That's one thing we can agree on.
