05 | “I'm Just a Friend.”

"This is Peridot's Café. What would you like to order?"

"Hi?"

"Oh, it's you."

"Yes. Uhh... it's me."

"It's been two weeks since you called... I guess."

"Maybe? Lost track of time."

"Busy these days?"

"Yeah, I was working at a restaurant, trying to make some money."

"What for?"

"Rainy days?"

"Good to hear that."

"How are you?"

"I'm still breathing, living in a boring monotonous life. How about you?"

"Should I be concerned about how you answered?"

"..."

"..."

"Okay, killer. What do you need from me?"

"What— no!"

"Well, I think you have an ulterior motive."

"No, I don't."

"No questions about Peridot?"

"Nothing. I'm just a friend—"

"—Acquaintance."

"I'm just an acquaintance who happens to check if you're still alive.'

"That's surprisingly new."

"Okay."

"Good."

"Peridot called."
