"Alaska!?" Liam hooted, wiping a tear from his eye. "Dude, that's incredible! You're going to live like a hermit or something?" He kicked a loose arcade cabinet, sending it rattling. The place felt much less crowded now.

Liam found himself pacing excitedly. He clapped Mark on the back, a force that nearly sent him to the floor. "This is insane! You'll be so far away!" he guffawed, the sound of their laughter mingling with the flashing lights of the games.
