[Pauses, not going any farther.]

But. ]

...I was gonna tell you the same.

... don't got nothin to say, really. Figured you didn't wanna talk or nothin' anymore. Don't really blame you-- even aside from messing up the whole thing, m'not really...

[ .. shrugs, weakly. ]

Just... don't want you to think Nem cares about me more than you, I guess. More importantly. Cuz she don't.

It's not that I don't wanna talk. It's more that, like -

If you don't wanna, if you - if you got nothing to say or whatever... that's fine.

...you and Nem worked stuff out, yeah?

... wasn't really nothin to work out. Just went to check in on her cuz I was worried.

She stopped by.

Yeah. I kinda, uh. Ducked out a couple days to put the meeting off.

...was he real mad?

No? Why would he be?

[Because he's disappointed everyone else, and he kind of cut out without seeing anyone.]

...I dunno. Just checking.

He was just worried, I think. But nah, not angry.

[He's quiet for a couple of seconds.]

[ nods. ]

Yeah. ... haven't been going out much but... 'least there's always at least someone there. Doodles's been 'round a lot, so I've been hanging with him...
