#2: Initial revision
I think confusion takes time to portray, and I would do this in dialogue; a kind of argument. > He told me he worked at NASA. _NASA_. He must be kidding. > > I said, "What? You hated science! Math, biology, computers ... everything, you were the worst student in high school!" > > "What can I say? They didn't teach game animation in high school." > > "So you do game animations at NASA? It isn't science, I guess." > > "No, I thought I wanted to learn animation, and I discovered simulations, and had to learn physics for it. With a goal, I was an A student for applied physics. Now I do realistic simulations of hostile environments at NASA, and lives depend on it. I'm not a kid anymore, Frank." > > It made him a different person, really, and I wasn't sure what to say to this stranger. I held out my hand. "Nice to finally meet you, Dave. I did not know that is who you were." > > Dave laughed, and shook my hand. "Neither did I, Frank."
