Pranod. So what’s Uchkun’s story?
Artashes. What. Why does he want to be chased?
Pranod. Yeah, what’s the deal?
Artashes. He gets people to chase him so he’s not depressed.
Pranod. Being chased helps him with his depression?
Artashes. Say you’re depressed, and you have no motivation to do anything. What better way to get your ass moving than having someone chase you? Your instincts switch on. Depression takes a seat.
Pranod. That’s where the money comes in.
Artashes. Right. The chaser has to pay fifty dollars to chase Uchkun all over the city, but if the chaser catches Uchkun in an hour, he’ll win five hundred dollars. If not, then it’s fifty dollars in Uchkun’s pocket.
Pranod. You’d think that if Uchkun was extremely depressed, he wouldn’t care and get caught on purpose.
Artashes. That’s what I was thinking when he was getting away from me.
