[[Cueball]] and [[Megan]] are on a {{w|First date (meeting)|first date}} and Cueball is trying to strike up a {{w|conversation}} by asking Megan what she does in her {{w|Leisure|free time}}. Megan has probably been dreading this question, because she answers that her free time activity consists of trying to figure out how to respond if asked what she does in her free time. Cueball answers soothingly, but Megan's {{w|anxiety}} gets the better of her and she leaves abruptly.
