"Hey."
❝Thank God it's Friday!❞
"Don't yell, you idiot."
He heard a sharp, quiet gasp and a muffled thud. Her side of the line was dead silent.
❝L-lee...?❞
"...sorry. My brother scared me," she whispered.
❝Where is your brother?❞
"Stepping right on my bedroom entrance."
❝Is it dangerous to wake him up or take him to his room?❞
"It's dangerous to wake him, yes, but I can't take him to his room because he's blocking the way and I can't walk pass him."
❝Well, don't do anything. He'll probably walk away.❞
"Yeah, I guess."
