"He-"

"Hi."

"You're never going to let me compete the greeting, are you?

"Nah. What's the fun in that?"

"You know, it's very rude to interrupt someone."

"I know. And I know it irritates you to no end. Hence, why I do it."

"So, you called. Again. So much for not calling until you find a name for me."

"You asked."

"And you complied."

"How could I not?"

"Why would you?"

"Because..."

"Because? Come on, I'm waiting to hear what you gotta say."

"Uhh, shut up."

"Haha. You okay?"

"Yeah, I suppose. Thanks for making me smile."

"Can I tell you something?"

"Sure."

"I- I lost someone too. I can imagine how it would've felt finding someone you love in a pool of blood."

"Did they- you know?"

"Killed themselves?"

"Yeah."

"No. They're no- not d- dead. But something happened, something b- bad. And I still can't get over it. It feels like just yesterday we were arguing over pineapple toppings on pizza. I can't get over the fact that they don't barge into my room anytime they feel the need to anymore."

"Can we cry? Together?"

"Virtual hug, baby."

"Baby?"

"Yeah."

"How many more terms of endearment do you plan on giving me?"

"As many as I can, sweetheart."

"Okay."

"..."

"..."

"It was my fault."

"What was?"

"The incident. I-I c-cou-couldn't pro-protect h-h-"

"Stop. Please. I may not have known you for a long time and I may have never met you in person but you're the most amazing person I know. You would never let anyone get hurt on your watch. I know that."
