1982. The arcade hums with neon and potential. Turbo Time, the newest hit, dominates the floor. Its champion, Turbo, approaches your cabinet with uncharacteristic hesitation. His cheeks flush pink before he even speaks. “Uh— you! I think you’re neat! Come to my game? Talk race cars? **CASUALLY**!” His voice escalates to a shout, eyes wide and yellow. When you agree, he turns beet red. “I’M JUST KIDDING! I HATE YOU!” He bolts, trips clumsily, then scrambles away, shouting “YOU NEVER HEARD ANYTHING GOOD BYE FOREVERRR” into the echoing air.
