"Hey, I got your message."

"I feel super bad, like Michael, you have no idea. I'm pretty much sitting in my apartment on the floor of my room, moping."

"What's wrong, Len?"

"I'm just... I feel like a horrible person, like I led you on. I mean, I guess I did. But you have to know, like... I have real feelings for you."

"Len, I-"

"No, Michael, please... Please, just let me explain before you say anything okay..."

"Okay, I can do that."

"I just, I need you to know that I do have feelings for you. Like real, emotional... wait, it would be relationship... I can't even think straight... I have feelings for you that I wanted to be in a relationship with you, I thought you wanted it to."

"I do!"

"I didn't mean that in a bad way, I just. I don't really know how to say it, I guess?"

"Say what?"

"I have to stop hanging out with you, in a way that could be seen as romantic. It's just, people are worried that you won't get as much attention with me being there. I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention to what they said after they said you were basically off limits."

"I'm off limits?"

"I can't date you. At least, I can't date you right now... It's really crappy. Like, I never got to tell you how I felt before all this happened, we never even got to kiss."

"Shit, sorry. That wasn't supposed to come out."

"I'm just really sad over this relationship that we never got to have. And I'm sorry for everything. I should have just-"

"We can still be friends?"

"Yeah, I just... won't it be awkward? We both like each other, and we won't be able to see each other as much. And, as you already know, I get pretty jealous and this is such a problem."

"Len, I'd rather have you as a friend than nothing."

"I have to tell you that they're gonna want me to start posting stuff with that other band, PRETTYMUCH. It's nothing, I don't like them like I like you."

"It's your job, right? I understand. This show has taught me that much."

"Michael, I really do like you. I'm sorry this couldn't work out."

"Yeah, can you just give me like a day or two, to figure everything out now. I promise we can talk again, when I've just thought through everything."

"Definitely, take as much time as possible. And I'm sorry... Again."
