Q: How do I have a conversation with a person?
A: for another reason. if there is no other reason, then ask them who they are. if you already know who they are, tell them who you are. if they also already know who you are, ask them how they are. they probably will tell you a simple fake version instead of the whole story. then they will ask you how you are and you will also tell them a mostly fake version of the real story. then start asking each other where you are and what is going on here, and collaborate on finding answers to that question. if and when you find those answers, then you can start asking what may happen next
