[[Megan]] has been considering that the question is essentially meaningless. However, if that is true, she can't understand why it continues to be in her thoughts. This might feel frustrating for Megan. Two of her friends (both [[Cueball]]-like) notice that she is seemingly stuck in this existential question and have a short-term solution for her.
