"Hey."

"Hi, this is Ella, right?"

"Yeah, who's this?"

"I'm Daniel, a friend of Finn."

"Why are you calling? Is everything okay?"

"I'm not sure..."

"Is there something wrong with Finn?"

"I don't know how to tell you this."

"Just tell me, please. I can't take this. What happened?"

"He... Oh god. I can't do this."

"What's wrong? Is he hurt? He didn't die, right?"

"No, he is alive."

"Thank god."

"But he's not doing well. He told me he needed to tell you, but was too scared, so he asked me to do it for him instead."

"Is he sick?"

"I'm afraid it's worse than just being sick. I'm so sorry for you, I know he means a lot to you."

"Please, just tell me what's going on."

"He..."

"Wait a second. What was that noise in the background?"

"What? I have no idea what you mean. I didn't hear anything."

"Is that Finn? Laughing?"

"..."

"Don't tell me this is all a stupid prank, because if it is, I will personally kill you, Finn."

"Shit, looks like I need to run."

"You'd better."

"Come on! This was so good."

"I was worried, Finn!"

"And that was very cute. I told you I would get back at you some day. This is what you get for pranking me all the time."

"You idiot."

"But you love me."

"Oh, shut up. I'm just going to hang up before this conversation gets worse."

"Hey! That's not fai-"

"-r."
