“The compiling is done?”
“I could refine it further, try to give you some additional features, but the coding and the hardware I’m working with here is so tightly structured that I think I’d do more harm than good. It’s like the techie equivalent of trying to put toothpaste back in the tube after you’ve squeezed it out… you can’t, so maybe you try to make more tube that sticks out of one side, but you keep doing it and you wind up with this kludgy mess that you can’t even use for its original purpose. For getting toothpaste.”

Very relatable, actually, though more in terms of the thought processes that lead to this kind of concept than of the concept itself.
“I think I understand what you mean. Thank you for this. It’s already uploaded?”

He’d called home to let Arthur know he wouldn’t make it to dinner but that he hoped to be back before midnight.
I’m increasingly sure Legend won’t be leaving anytime soon, if at all.
There are few bigger death flags than “I’m leaving the story to go home and be happy with my loved one, whom I’ve already told I’m coming home, see ya”.
