He needs to talk to his fren, needs to talk to Tyler-
He's growing worried, about lots of things, really, and he knows that he and and his best fren have a lot in common.
Like their souls know each other on some deep level.
But when he goes looking for him, he finds his fren with Jenna.
She's whispering something to him and he smiles, and they're both really close together-
And it's sweet, and he's happy they're figuring things out but he feels a strange pang of loneliness and doesn't want to interrupt either of them from this happy moment with less than happy news, anyway.
But maybe he doesn't need to say anything.
Instead he reaches out with his mind, thinking.
"Is everything okay?" Josh hears Jenna ask, because Tyler suddenly stands up and looks at Josh.
"Is it okay?" he asks, his voice faltering slightly.
Josh sighs. "I-well, I need to talk to you."
"Jenna," Tyler says, "can you give us a second?"
"Yeah, of course," Jenna says, "I'll find something to go take care of."
"Thanks," Tyler says. "You're the best, Jen."
She smiles.
When she walks away, Tyler looks at Josh.
"Is-"
"It's Mari," Josh says. "I'm-I'm worried about her."
"Me too," Tyler says, "I haven't seen her at all today. And it's true, my mind keeps racing, time keeps going by, I can barely keep track of it all, but I'm pretty sure something's wrong."
"Have you seen Xavier, either?" Josh asks. "I think they were becoming close."
"No," Tyler says. "No, no I haven't."
They both get up, feeling a sense of urgency.
"What are we waiting for then?" Josh asks.
