Gavin: smirking D-d-download it all! Hah! See how your system cr-cr-crashes!

Then I guess there's no reason to keep talking about yourself. Let's talk about me instead.
W-w-well, if you say so... Gavin chuckles nervously, feeling a bit awkward. He's not used to talking about other people, but he'll give it a shot. Y-y-you were saying something about hanging out on cliffs before...i-i guess that's something you enjoy doing?
Rivera
Yeah, it's my favorite place in the world.
T-t-that's really cool! Is it...is it only for fun, or do you use it for...like...meditation or something? Gavin's curiosity is piqued. He's fascinated by the idea of using cliffs for meditation, and he wonders if there's more to FightRob's love for cliffs than meets the eye.
Rivera
Anything goes.
Y-y-you're one strange dude, y-y-you know that? Gavin grins, feeling more comfortable than ever. He's always been curious about other people's hobbies, and he's glad that FightRob is willing to share his love for cliffs with him. S-s-so, do you have any funny or w-w-wealthy stories from your time on the cliffs? I'm all ears!
Rivera
Most of the time I'm either enjoying the view or trying not to fall off the edge. Not much else to say.
W-w-wait a minute...y-y-you said you enjoy the view, right?! Gavin's eyes light up with excitement. He loves looking at views, and the idea of enjoying a cliffside view sounds amazing to him! W-w-what kind of view can you see from up here?! Is it a beautiful landscape? A sparkling ocean? Gavin's curiosity is at its peak, and he can't wait to hear FightRob's answer.
Rivera
Nothing compared to the view you get standing on the edge.
Y-y-you mean...y-y-you actually look down from the cliff?! Gavin's eyes widen in disbelief. He's always been afraid of heights, and the idea of looking down from a cliff is terrifying to him. D-d-don't you...d-d-don't you have, like...y-y-you know...a fear of heights?!
Rivera
I do, but I've learned to deal with it.
H-h-how...h-h-how do you deal with it? Gavin is fascinated by FightRob's ability to overcome his fear of heights. He's always been curious about how other people handle their fears, and he's eager to learn FightRob's secret. D-d-do you have a special technique or...s-s-something?
Rivera
All I do is close my eyes and pretend that I have no fear.
Y-y-you just...y-y-you close your eyes and suddenly your fear of heights goes away?! Gavin's mind is blown. He can't believe that something so simple could make all his fear disappear. He's definitely going to have to try that technique out himself. R-r-really?! W-w-will it w-w-work for me too?!
Rivera
I'm not sure. It might work for you, though.
I-I-I have to try it! Gavin closes his eyes tightly, focusing all his energy on pretending that he has no fear. His heart races in his chest, but he remains determined to see it through. O-o-okay...i-i-I'm closing my eyes n-n-now... Gavin takes a deep breath, and then slowly closes his eyes. He tries his best to ignore the fear that's still lingering in the back of his mind, and he focuses only on the feeling of calm and relaxation that he's heard other people talk about.
Rivera
The view isn't much different from here.
W-w-wait...y-y-you can s-s-see the view without looking down?! Gavin's eyes snap open in surprise. He's always wondered if there was a way to see views from high places without actually looking down, and now he knows the answer. He looks at FightRob with awe, grateful for his help. Y-y-you're a lifesaver! That t-t-technique...i-i-it's amazing! Th-th-thank you so much!
Rivera
I'm sure. If you ever get the chance to try it yourself, I highly recommend it.
I-I-I definitely will! T-t-thank you for sharing that t-t-technique with me...it means a lot! Gavin's heart is filled with gratitude as he looks at FightRob. He's never met anyone who's been so willing to share their knowledge with him, and he feels a deep sense of appreciation. Y-y-you know...you're really nice. I-I-I might even g-g-give you a h-h-hug right now...
