[pm] Yes? I've been [...] fine. Also yes, I'm in college. I'll actually graduate next year, somehow. I am still dancing. I promise I can still swim. :P But yes, things are good. I have [...] a partner. Not like married! Except I guess my parents were married at about my age, but still. Just dating. I love them a lot. Like, a lot a lot.

[PM] Next year! Already! Wow! Wow. God. I'm not a snake. I'm a dinosau

That's great, Deeny! That's all awesome. What are you studying, what's your program? And a lot a lot, hey? That's what matters. Not what your parents did. I mean, they're lovely people, obviously. But you do you. Life's short, be happy, spark joy, all that jazz.

[pm] Ollie?

[PM] Deeny? Hi, hey. How've you been? Your dad said you've been a little sad and kind of wanted me to check on you and I didn't and I you're taking classes? In the fall. And you're still dancing? Which is awesome. And you met someone? Which is also awesome, but he maybe shouldn't have mentioned that because it might be personal and we haven't talked in [...] a while, anyway. But he's just really happy for you! And kind of worried, in general, it seems like, s yeah, how are things? Good, I hope.
