[Let's keep it short and simple-]

Hey, hey! Guess I'm doing important stuff but if you think your stuff is important too, tell me what it is and we can flip a coin.

See ya!

it's cool!

[tooshallpass]

[She tries to smile reassuringly, but that's probably the most useless thing you can do on a voice call ever.] Oh... Please don't apologize. There's nothing you or anyone else could have done... It just -- I'm still here, so I suppose no harm done?

[Wow, it is taking every ounce of strength to keep it together right now.]

[uncalled]

No harm--

[He repeats after her, flabbergasted and indignant for a moment because there's no way that any of that was okay.]

Definitely harm done! I mean.... even if you don't want me to feel bad about it, it's hard to help, you know? I just... I wish I could've done more...

[tooshallpass]

I just... [She doesn't want anyone to worry, especially someone she doesn't know all that well.] I know, I'm sorry. But I'm alive, so there's no -- no need to worry...

[uncalled]

But... But dying probably sucks! Or at least that's what I've heard.

So I'm not saying that you're doing it on purpose or anything but... no need to put up a big front.

You don't need to spare the feelings of someone who couldn't help you.

[tooshallpass]

[That strikes her as funny and she laughs.] 'Sucks' would be an understatement...

[She takes a deep breath. Alright. Honesty is cool, she guesses.] ...I just didn't want to start crying on the, ahm, telephone. That's all. I've been doing it enough since, well... coming back, I suppose.

[uncalled]

[And that gets him to wince.]

Yeah, no, I figure. I'm really sorry about that still...

[honestly he doesn't know how to deal with upset people so he's grasping for straws here-]

Would it be better to cry.... off the phone, maybe? Are you alone?

[tooshallpass]

I -- yes, I'm alone. [At least she assumes; she hasn't heard her roommates in a while, but she hasn't really been listening, wrapped up in her blanket fort of solitude.]

It's fine, though. I don't mind the quiet. It's actually... It's nice right now.

[uncalled]

You sure....?

I mean, I kinda want to apologize to you in person too.
