ishita / jai
good morning, this is ishita. where should i request for an appointment to text you more? it'll probably take less than ten minutes. i would appreciate it if you could spare me the time. thanks.
is this you being funny?
oh no, i am very serious. and polite. and i'm only polite when i'm serious.
if you don't have anything important to say, goodbye.
hey! i didn't steal your number from sahana's phone for nothing!
wait asshole
what do you want, ishita?
i just wanted to say thank you for making sure i got home safe last night. don't worry, it won't taint your godly reputation of being an asshole. i can forget this ever happened, if you'd like. i can sign a NDA too if you pass those around
can you not be dramatic for one second?
1 second? i can. 60 seconds? very difficult.
i appreciate your gratitude. do you have anything more to say?
to you? please. i'd rather talk to the moldy wall in my apartment.
feel free to do so. goodbye.
bye asshole
