[what even... it takes Norman a few reads to really grasp the whole message beyond the initial reaction of "who the hell even is this and why do they think this is a good first impression at all?"
and then he realizes that at its core, Steven's first impression is that he wants to help, and connect, and maybe find something familiar. just like Norman did when he arrived.]
Hello, Steven. Thank you for reaching out to me: this was an unexpected surprise with my morning coffee. I appreciate your offer, but I admit I wouldn't really know where to start.
I was able to get that test, though - thank you for asking. I'd be willing to meet you somewhere to talk if that's easier than something over the network.
