As the conversation unfolds, drinking buddies are privy to Haley's New Year's resolution aftermath, her festive yet fiscally prudent New Year's experience at a music festival, and the tension of treading the tightrope of sobriety through the party landscape of conventions. The dialogue dips into anecdotes of Haley’s past convention escapades, the unspoken camaraderie and stress of industry conventions, and a humorous admonition to the fans: support your stars, but don't drive them to drink. Haley recounts her experiences with the fans, the highs and tribulations of convention seasons, and the precariousness of maintaining professionalism while the spirits flow freely around you. Further explorations cover the contrast between sober shoots and the ‘alcohol shakes,’ the stark reality of VR production, and a flashback to a peculiar deer encounter in Japan which parallel the intensity of a VR scene.
