(Chapter 4 cont.)
After an hour of Browsing and Cuddles, Dan fell into an existential crisis. He suddenly stopped scrolling and began thinking about the inevitability of death and if we're even real. Phil was concerned that he stopped scrolling.
"Dan, you okay?" He said resting his hand on his lower thigh.
Dan stared blankly at the computer screen.
"Dan?" He repeated.
"Why are we even here? What is life? We could die at any moment. Do we even matter? One day we won't be here. What's the point of trying? Are we just a figment of someone's imagination? Maybe I'm in a mental institution and I'm not actually doing anything. " Dan said out loud.
Phil was very concerned as Dan hasn't had an existential crisis in months. He knows there's nothing he can do till he stops. Phil just held his hand and sat there with him for about two hours until Dan finally gain his conciseness, finding Phil's hand intertwined with his. When he saw Phil, he smiled.
"Thanks for staying with me" Dan says
"No problem" Phil smiles, Dan smiles back.
