hey mate
do you have a sec?

KotCinnir - uhh
KotCinnir - yeah sure
KotCinnir - i'm needed on set in 20

yeah
that's fine
we shouldn't be that long

KotCinnir- right
KotCinnir - what's up?

i have a question
about Phoebe

KotCinnir - okay?

look
obviously
you know her better than we do
so i was wondering
has she always been so
...
anxious?

KotCinnir - oh
KotCinnir - has something happened?
KotCinnir - is she okay?

yeah yeah
she's good
i was just wondering
as like
she wrings her hands a lot
and like
Joe showed me a chat they had
a few weeks ago
and like she just seemed
nervy?
i don't know
something seemed off

KotCinnir - oh right

i didn't want to stress her
cause obviously
her assessments and stuff
so i thought i'd ask you

KotCinnir - right
KotCinnir - she has a strong fear of abandonment
KotCinnir - she has these
KotCinnir - panic attacks
KotCinnir - she convinces herself
KotCinnir - people will leave her
KotCinnir - it's why she doesn't let people in much

right
what caused it?
do you know?

KotCinnir - i do
KotCinnir - but that's not my story to tell
KotCinnir - i've already told you too much
KotCinnir - but i understand why you want to know

yeah
alright
cheers man

KotCinnir - just tell me
KotCinnir - if you think something's up

of course

KotCinnir - right
KotCinnir - cool
