Robin: No idea. Nancy: Oh, a new chat. Fun. Dustin: Maybe it’s so we can actually talk? Will: It’s strange he just created it. Max: Hey, everyone. El: A new group? Argyle: Why was I added? Jonathan: Oh. A group chat for us to talk about things? Eddie: Wait, why am I included? I’m not in the friend group. Lucas: Eddie, I’m absolutely sure you are. Also, you, are you alive?
