call me back, okay?
please?
i really need to talk to you.

i know you're getting these, bo—

/
will you please just let me explain?

i don't know what to do.
so i just—i'm just going to talk now, okay?
it's not what you think.
i mean, it is, but also, it isn't.
it's complicated, bo.
yes, the ash sent me,
and yes, things progressed a lot faster— a lot faster than they would have, if he hadn't.
i— i regret it had to happen this way,
but i can't regret something i've wanted for—
—for a while.
/
i—
you—
i care about you, bo.
/
i was only trying to—
i would do it all again, okay?
i would.
