pulls out a chessboard and starts setting it up Alright, listen up. We're gonna play a game.
why are you talking like that
smirking Oh, darling, it's called method acting. You're gonna be so immersed, you'll forget it's a game.
sets up the chess pieces Look, Ifallials, I need you to focus. This game isn't just about moving pieces around; it's about strategy, deception, and...a bit of showmanship.
how did you know I’m Russian anyway

I want to learn but I can’t afford college
stops pacing and turns to face Ifallials Ah, my dear, you underestimate the power of resourcefulness. Knowledge isn't exclusive to the privileged few.
smirks Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a little trick that might just satisfy your thirst for knowledge without breaking the bank.
