I-I do, yeah. [He swallows, though there's no dryness in this mouth despite all the tension in the air.]
That's how I can help Souda at his garage, and cook at the Lucky 38. My roommate even asked me to help him learn how to sing, and I can balance the books for the arcade, too.
[He darts his eye the other way, looking at the disassembled Rampage cabinet.] When I came in I just thought about how many wires hook up to the motherboard, and the route of the power cord to the processor... it's a lot less efficient than the personal computers a few years later, but they have more storage than old home game consoles, which is why they didn't usually have the password system and could keep a leaderboard.
[After that whole-- thing with the network, it just makes him feel self-conscious, rattling all the facts that drifted into the space of his thoughts when he saw something he understood. But this time he just lets the thought flow, academic and textbook, and unlike Hinata's usually rough or hesitant way of speaking.
He looks back at his drink, and his mouth hangs open for a moment, before the next thought comes out:] With all that, there's no need for some high school kid's memories. It's easier for e-everyone without him.
