"Nora?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I called first and all that but I need to talk. Like, properly talk".

"Um, sure. Yeah, we can properly talk if you want..."

"Now, I want your complete and honest opinion..."

"Okay. Honest. I can do that".

"Good".

"Alright, I'm ready. Hit me up!"

"Don't. Never say that. Again. Ever".

"Sorry, continue".

"Right, so let's say, hypothetically, I have a friend who really wants to tell me a secret. Like, something big about themselves but is afraid to. What would you say to that friend about that?"

"Hypothetically?"

"Hypothetically".

"Well, I'd say, unless the person being told is a huge dick and refuses to understand, then there's no reason to be afraid at all".

"Yeah, but what if the friend is scared that they'll think of them differently? This friend just wants to be treated normally".

"This is oddly specific".

"-hypothetically, of course!"

"Personally, that's stupid".

"W-what?"

"Well, if you think about it, the friend isn't defined by their secret but by their qualities and personality. A good friend would treat them by those and see past the bad".

"I guess you're right..?"

"Out of curiosity, what triggered this random thought process?"

"Nothing. I was just... asking, is all".

"Well, okay..? Don't be afraid to come to me for anymore questions!"

"Nah, this was just a one-off thing! Don't get ahead of yourself".

"I understand how difficult it is to admit it. But just know, it's healthy to think I'm wise so don't be ashamed".

"You weirdo..."

"Appreciated".

"I bet it was. Look, I gotta go, so I'll talk tomorrow again, yeah?"

"Of course".

"Alright, good ni-"

"Nora, wait."

"Yeah..?"

"Look, I know that the question wasn't just 'hypothetical' ".

"..."

"I want you to know that all I said was the complete truth and that I'm here for you".

"..."

"..."

"Okay".

"Great. Now, good night".

"Night".
