Sets out the seats to the screams of a semi-automatic coffee machine. The needy bursts of steam, pleading hard for the arms of its other half, cement what she said to her friends last night - that "this isn't a fallback, it's me. It isn't a fallback, it's me". From piecing together the scraps of conversations had as she clears up, she has a formidable artillery of travel facts - checks her geography on an otherwise unused franchise charity map and whispers "this isn't a fallback, it's me. It isn't a fallback". Who says that there's no sense of pride in rehearsing things until they're always right, when she's falling in to her apartment at night? Surprises the sports fans with scores and player stats and startles the lawyers with wilderness preservation acts and says "it's not that I'm not ambitious, it's the opposite, I aim to always do what I love to do best. And this isn't a fallback, it's me. It isn't a fallback, it's me. It's all that I wanted to be, it isn't a fallback, it's me".
