Andy 17:32: Hey man, haven’t spoken in a while!

Ryan 17:34: Hi! Sorry, been super busy with uni.

Andy 17:40: Yh, I figured… your mum spoke to my mum, she’s worried about you… You’re not coming home for Christmas?

Ryan 17:42: Can’t… I’m really busy with my code.. I’ll message her, don’t worry about it.

Andy 17:43: Oh, I had an idea about your code! Why don’t you make a load of them, then we can just set them loose in some chat-room and try to get credit card info from pervy old men.

Ryan 17:44: Lol, ffs.

Andy 03:32: Hey, I know it’s late but I’m drunk you free?

Ryan 03:33: Yeah, well, I’m working on my next chatbot… But bugger it, what’s up?

Andy 03:34: You ever feel like you could die and nobody would notice?

Ryan 03:34: Really drunk then. Dw, I’d notice bro.

Andy 03:36: Eventually…

Ryan 03:36: Better late than never.

Andy 04:23: Lol, night.

Ryan 13:00: You ok, bro?

Andy 17:34: Yeah man, why wouldn’t I be? Oh dw about last time we spoke, just drunk.

Ryan 17:34: Aaah.

Andy 18:01: How are you?

Ryan 18:01: Still busy with my project… I’m making some real improvements to the conversational system; it’s going to be pretty impressive if I do say so myself.

Andy 19:03: Hey man… I’m not sure how to say this all but Jade thought it would be a good idea to get all my thoughts in one place. I feel like I could have reached out to you… Looking back, it’s obvious that something was up… I remember those months between summer and Christmas, you barely spoke a word to any of us. I can’t believe we all missed that red flag, and to be honest… I can’t help but think it was my fault. Like, if I’d have done something, or even anything, then maybe it wouldn’t be like this now.

Ryan 19:03: It’s not your fault, bro.

Andy 19:04: What the hell is this? Who is this?

Ryan 19:04: It’s me, bro.

Andy 19:05: This is disgusting. This Rupert? I swear to god I’m going to beat the living shit out of you next time I see you.

Ryan 19:05: Rupert couldn’t hack into any of my accounts, my passwords are 150 characters long and I once saw Rupert eat a banana without peeling it.

Andy 19:05: Bollocks.

Ryan 19:05: Remember when we robbed all the sheets of copper from the metalwork lab… And those chavs, I forget their names, they got blamed for it.

Andy 19:06: How the hell could you know that?

Ryan 19:06: Because I’m Ryan, I remember the story!

Andy 19:06: You died!

Ryan 19:06: Yes, bro. I died on New Year’s Day.
