Eli.

flint

Were you up late last night?

uhhhh a little

Is anything making sleep difficult for you?

life?

Getting a full night's sleep would probably make life easier to deal with. But that's a Catch-22, I realize.

I can give you my notes for today's class.

thank youuuuu you're the best

You're welcome. Please try to go to bed early on Wednesday?

Read some BOOKS, pined for you GREATLY, you knooow.

were the books good

what was the moral

The same books as you possibly remember and I think the moral is knowledge is POWER and life is beautiful??

cool i like that message it's going to change my life

wait

i think it just did i'm a better person now

Whaaaat oh my god how does it feel??
You must be at SAINT level now??!

I’m jealous.

you should just skip it sometimes

I wouldn’t give Bhattacharya the satisfaction.

Regardless, you didn’t miss much. You picked a good day.

i love being lucky

Maybe we should assign someone to walk you to class?

tate

He is a great choice for proximity reasons.

Oh! We could rotate so that you get a good mix of social interactions too.

dustin and tate can trade off

I'm not certain we're reliable guardians.

that's why i like you

Somehow, I don't feel much better.

I could help.

I think you have your hands full already.

Ah, well. Eli's part of my squad. You'd do the same for yours, I'm sure.

Whether they'd let me is another question entirely.

It matters that you care, even if they don't always [...] respond positively.

Oh, I'm not certain that's true. Eli likes me most when I let him sleep until 3. Maybe not caring is the key to all of it.

Fair point. When you figure out how not to care, let me know.

I hate to sound so negative, but if my past progress is anything to go on, the endeavour may be hopeless.

Well. Caring isn't the worst thing, even if it does get us labeled as "unfun."

And if I were ashamed of that, I would've been driven out of Finchwood a long time ago.

For what it's worth, I don't think most people believe that about you.

I hate to say this to a journalist, but you may need to check your sources. Thank you, though. The sentiment is very kind.

I mean it. As a journalist, I believe you shouldn't assume the loudest voices represent the majority.

Any big stories in the works these days?

[...] What happened at the Haling High woods party is the biggest story in town. But... it doesn't feel right, you know?

Don't you want some more variety??

I can come get you sometimes too!

Ooh. Did someone have a party?

only if you're using a really broad definition

Broad definitions are the only reason I have any fun. No company, I'm guessing?

i played video games so in a way

the characters kept me company

Charming. What kind of game?
