Navigating small talk is a mechanical process, not a mystical art form. This guide quantizes the 'target human' interaction into discrete tasks like maintaining the sandwich gap and echoing nouns for profit. Execute these steps to maintain social stealth until you can successfully deploy your escape to the beverage station.
