"Oh well," you think. It is outside of your control.
You do decide to take a little extra care in cleaning yourself up this evening, just in case that might make a difference. It wasn't completely terrible to talk to Lydia earlier, and you can always just leave whenever you want, so you decide to walk down to the bar. You also don't know anyone in this neighborhood... kinda...
Kyle actually works at the bar down the street, or at least he used to. He was the only one who followed you from Columbus to this city, but your lifestyles led you to drift apart over time. You haven't spoken in months. Since you're feeling a bit more social tonight, maybe you should let him know that you're going? Maybe he'll be working, but if not, maybe it would be nice to actually know someone at that place.
Don't call Kyle
