I was having a boring day until my old best friend Loy invited me to go out with them after work because he needed to interview me for one of his research projects. My day went on with nothing noteworthy, but I eventually timed out of work and Loy went to my place to pick me up. He told me that I still had the same awkward walk, which surprised me because I didn't think that I walked in a particular way, but whatever I just disregarded his comment.

While on the car ride to Market Market, he told me about how he's currently doing and that he doesn't remember the last time we met, which was just December last year or something. He doesn't remember showing me his Steam Deck, which I kind of found odd. But he eventually gets me up to speed about how he's doing.

It kind of irritated me that he's in a new chapter of his life and this new chapter brings some sort of exclusivity, which he uses to make himself feel better because "he's not like the rest of you." It happened in college when he got into a big 4 university because he was rich, and in flight school because he was a pilot. Now, he's training cadets and is an instructor of sorts in the military and he views civilians as lowly and separate from him. This trait of him really irked me and I found it funny how he thinks civilians mostly whined about normal, day-to-day stuff even though he spent the majority of the time whining to me about his situation. I barely even told him how horribly I was doing which alienated me from him.

It made me realize that this guy was not the same fun-loving dude I used to hang around often with and relate to life problems with.

We got the SSD that he needed for his PC and we went to his place so I could install the SSD. I eventually met his dad and mom again and we caught up with each other. Things went smoothly and he eventually got to interview me and I installed the SSD on his PC, even though it was hard because Windows wasn't playing well. And my night continued at his place as I was still fixing his PC for Windows 11.
