Summary
"Is your name actually Drifter?" Amir asks one day, because he isn't sure what else he should talk about with them. They just showed up in the arcade today, calm and unreadable and quiet. He cannot tell at all if the Drifter is annoyed at him, but he has to break the silence soon or he'll lose his mind. "That's kinda crazy–I mean, it's not like, in a bad way, but it's like if John Bonde was only Double-Oh-Six. Like, imagine we get dinner and the waiter asks who made the reservation and you have to say, 'Drifter. The Drifter.' Actually, that's kinda badass…"
The Drifter gently interrupts, "Is that an invitation I'm hearing?"

Drifter seems to like everyone, but Amir wants them to actually like him. How to do that, though, he has no idea. They seem so unapproachable, too impressive and godlike and important to care about someone like him.
