[Yeah so, he's seeing this on the network. Annnnnnnd not wanting to talk about it. Hiding the device under his pillow instead.]

[20 minutes of foot-tapping nervousness later, he realises he can't really think about much else. Even mindlessly playing Tetris and Robot Unicorn Attack (on his laptop; the device is in hiding and the 3DS is in the closet not being used right now because of conflict-y emotion reasons) isn't helping.

Device comes out from under the pillow. He almost responds, but then changes his mind and tosses it aside.]

[illgrowoutofit]

[The response comes hours later, in the form of a text.]

I don't really want to talk about it.

[manofgnee]

Ah...okay.

[text.]

[illgrowoutofit]

[Oh. Guilt feelings. Those will become pretty much unbearable eventually, and another response will come;]

I mean, I don't really have much to say.

[text.]

[manofgnee]

Nah, I get it, it's okay man. We don't have to talk about this.

[text.] (1/2)

[illgrowoutofit]

Yeah.

[text.]

[illgrowoutofit]

[And then, because that seemed cold in retrospect, a little bit later...]

If you wanna say something, you can I guess.

[text.]

[manofgnee]

I mean...well...

I dunno, it's awkward, right? But I still wanna be friends.

[text.]

[illgrowoutofit]

Yeah.

[That was a clear and complete answer.]

[text.]

[manofgnee]

Okay.
