Nicolás: Have you talked to Johnny today?
Ariel: No.
Ariel: Why?
Nicolás: There's something wrong with him.
Ariel: What do you mean?
Ariel: Is he sick?
Nicolás: I don't know.
Ariel: 🤷♀️
Nicolás: I ran into him before biology.
Nicolás: He looked really pale.
Nicolás: His eyes were all sunken in too.
Ariel: Maybe he has the flu or something?
Nicolás: Here's the weird thing, I asked him if he was okay and he legit walked straight past me.
Nicolás: It was like he didn't even hear me!
Ariel: That is weird.
Nicolás: So weird.
Ariel: Hang on, I'm going to call him.
[Ariel calls Johnny.
[The other line picks up, but no one says anything.
[Ariel says Johnny's name several times, but all she hears in response is heavy breathing.
Ariel: Okay...
Ariel: That was really strange!
Nicolás: What?
Ariel: Johnny or someone picked up.
Nicolás: That's a good thing, right?
Ariel: No one said anything...
Ariel: They were just panting...
Nicolás: Panting?
Ariel: Yeah, like heavy breathing.
Nicolás: Yikes.
Ariel: No kidding!
Nicolás: Think we should head over to his dorm?
Nicolás: We might need to take him to the doctor.
Ariel: Yeah.
Ariel: He could be delirious.
Ariel: Maybe that would explain the panting?
Nicolás: Maybe.
Ariel: Heading over to your place now.
Nicolás: Sounds good!
Ariel: Hang on...
[Ariel looks at her last text message to Johnny.
[The three dots are flashing, indicating that he's writing her back.
Ariel: He's texting me.
Nicolás: 👍
Ariel: Nic...
Ariel: That was the resident assistant in Johnny's dorm.
Nicolás: Damon?
Ariel: Yes.
Nicolás: Why is he texting you from Johnny's phone?
Ariel: I guess he saw my last texts to Johnny.
Ariel: Checking in and asking what was going on.
Ariel: Anyways, he said there's been an accident.
