"That's it!" Tim yelled, kicking open the door, though it wasn't locked in the first place; it hadn't even been closed. Jay had left it open a crack in case Tim needed to get something. After all, it was his house. But Tim's mood shift was a welcomed change for Jay. Rarely was he happy or excited, but when he was, he tended to have a bit of a dramatic flare.
"You've been on that computer all day! It's time to do something else!" Tim said, standing behind Jay at the desk, who quickly spun the chair around and gave him a small glare.
"I don't have time to do 'something else'. I have to figure out who made this tape. If I can figure it out, we'll be that much closer to figuring all of this out," Jay argued before spinning the chair back around and continuing to analyze the video for the thousandth time. Rolling his eyes, Tim leaned over Jay's shoulder and closed the laptop before spinning the chair back around to face him.
"You're going to drive yourself crazy with this stuff. Besides, life's too short to take it seriously. Come on, let's go do something! Get out of here and just enjoy ourselves." Jay opened his mouth to argue when Tim continued. "I know, I know. 'I have to figure out who made this. We have to get closer to figuring it out' and all that. But it's only for a day. Then you can get back to hyperfocusing on the source of your anxiety, okay?" Letting out a small sigh, Jay finally acquiesced.
"Great!" Tim said, clapping his hands together as a smile appeared on his face, the first one in a long time. "I have something for you to do first," he said as he began walking down the hallway, Jay reluctantly following him. What have I gotten myself into? Jay wondered as he grabbed his camera off the coffee table. As Tim reached the door, he turned around to find the camera in Jay's hand.
"Nuh-uh. Nope. That's not happening. Put it back," Tim scolded Jay, who simply stood there with an incredulous expression.
"You want me to put it back? But... But I don't go anywhere without it. What if something happens? I won't have video proof of it! I won't be able to analyze it later! I have to take it! What if-"
"If something does happen, oh well. You need to stop worrying so much. That's exactly why I'm making you take a break. You need to mellow out. It's not good for your body and it's not good for your mental health. So just trust me on this? Please?" Tim tried to reassure Jay.
Letting out a sigh, Jay replied, "What do you want me to do?"
