Take One
Me: *puts away games, minding my own business*
Customer: *walks up to the counter and grabs the Persona 4 Arena display case*
Me: *hears the epic “Thou Art I” music from Persona 4 in my head as I think to myself* Is this a bond I can form? Is this person interested in the same thing as me? Perhaps I can establish a strong social link-
Customer: *puts case down and starts talking about Black Ops 2 instead with a friend*
Me: *heartbroken*
Take Two
Me: *puts games away*
Customer: *walks in, grabs the Persona 4 Arena case* Oh man I can’t wait, when does this come out?!
Me: *hears that tranquil, peaceful, “You Maxed out your Social Link,” music* A-August 7th
Customer: Awesome! I need to pre-order this
Me: *big huge stupid smile* OMG IT’S GOING TO BE AMAZING OMG OMG OMG! *then stops, thinking* shit that was too much…
Customer: Oh god I know, right?! Persona 4 is so AMAZING!!! I love it so much it’s perfect!
Bond established! God I’m such a loser aren’t I?
