On a daily basis, you'll probably pass a lot of people going about their lives. You may talk to some of them, and you may not talk to quite a lot of them. That's fine.

But imagine if you had to talk to absolutely everyone. It may be just the fear of missing out on something important. It may be that you actually have to talk to a specific person, or you're stuck in the current location you find yourself in. Regardless of what it is, you need to talk to absolutely everyone you spot, otherwise you may very much regret it later.

Oddly enough, if you talk to people more than once, they may also start repeating themselves like a broken robot.

In videogame world, absolutely everybody wants to talk to you. In real life, you'll probably get a mixed bag of results!
