You were an aspiring theoretical physicist/engineer, but that changed after you took up an internship for a private military company and met a girl who went by Ela, who'd change your way of thinking.
What to do what to do? Should you stay or should you go? If you go, there will be trouble. If you stay, well, that's kind of a gray area. Could be double. Both had their pros and cons. Such a short time to figure out, too.
"You seem disturbed." Ela reads your face.
"Not disturbed. Just... contemplating. I'm just trying to get my thoughts in order."
Ela nods. "Maybe you need a distraction."
"Like what?"
She shrugs. "Tell me about this place. You live here. Tell me a bit about it."

You look around and see one of the biggest things St Louis has to offer, so you point it out. "Well, you obviously know about the Gateway Arch. That's kind of our claim to fame."
"Tak. I saw it when we were driving."
"And you're seeing it now. Right there. If we had more time, we'd actually go to the top of it."
"You can do that?"
You nod. "Yep. There's a tram that takes you up there and you get to see quite the view."
"Interesting."
"Let's see. What else? We have some interesting food here. We're known for thin-crust pizza which is cut into squares rather than the triangles you're used to. Also we have toasted ravioli, which is really just deep fried ravioli. We have the best cut of ribs as they have more meat than baby back ribs. Then on the dessert side we have a concrete, which is frozen custard and any toppings blended together. That you'll have to try. Actually you should try all of those. We would if you had more time, but apparently I'm limited."
"Tak. Some other time maybe. It all sounds quite unhealthy."
"Yeahhhh it kind of is. Wait. Since when did you care about health?"
"Oh I don't. I was just pointing it out."
You smile and shake your head. Ela smirks and you continue your tour. "Right now we're walking past Busch Stadium. That's where our baseball team the St Louis Cardinals play."
"Have you been to a game there before?"
"A couple of times yeah. I'm more of a hockey guy, though."
"Since your team won the cup, did Zack give you your money?"
You think for a second and remember that wager you had with the former PMC member. "No he has not. I'll need to shoot him a text. Tell him to bring me my money." It's quiet for a few moments. "Any place you want to go?"
"How the hell should I know where to go? Isn't this your city?"
"Yeah, but, you're my guest."
"As I stated before I'm also a tourist who has no idea what this place is. You live here. Take me somewhere."
"A-Alright. Uhhh. Well, we can walk around in Kiener Plaza Park or go to a bar. Actually, let's just go to the bar. There's probably a bunch of hobos in the park right now and I honestly don't want to be mugged tonight."
