"We probably haven't met. I'm Taylor, just going around to get people untangled from this stuff."
Doesn't even ask if Dan wants it or if he's fine like this. Taylor is squarely at that teen age of thinking she knows how things should be and tries to make things shape up according to them, no matter what others think. Thankfully, she generally is right. Most times.
What she reads isn't at all what she prepared herself to handle, and she's immensely relieved because although she's ready to help, trying to help with deep things can be exhausting and especially invasive if it's with a stranger. Feels like a weight off her shoulders. Grinning a bit, she asks, just to be sure that's accurate:
"You know what's the periodic table?"
Either Dan is immensely ashamed of this, or he has so few skeletons in his closet a confession of ignorance is one of the few problems he has, she thinks to herself. Almost everyone would be jealous of him -- who wouldn't prefer this to confessing something deeper? Taylor knows she'd have preferred to unveil she's not aware about a scientific concept than talking about her feelings!
