Dimitri
Let it go, Elsa.
Levi
Said the psychopath. Didn’t you murder Arlo’s ex?
Dimitri
Technically Arlo did that.
Arlo
He just helped me hide the body.
Noah
I know this is an encrypted app but dude ixnay the urdermey chat.
Arsen sighed. Their chats were always like this. It started as one thing and then morphed into something wildly off topic. They were all killers. There wasn’t a single one of them who hadn’t killed someone. Even sweet little Arlo. Up until Ever, Arlo had been the shyest, most quiet person Arsen had ever met. But he’d still beaten his ex to death with a brick.
Felix
Ever just doesn’t like you, Levi. That’s not a character flaw. It’s good instincts.
Arlo
Arsen, don’t let Ever’s past be the reason you do or don’t do something. That’s not fair to him. I speak from experience.
Noah
Arlo’s right. It’s not Ever’s fault he was put into that situation. He’s still a person.
Arsen stared at his screen. How was he the bad guy here?
Lake
You guys act like this shit went down years ago. Homie was living in a closet last week. Like shouldn’t getting laid not be the top priority? Why are you all so horny all the time?
Noah
We’re not telling Arsen to fuck Ever. We’re telling him to stop treating Ever like he’s too damaged to know his own mind and body. You can have a fucked-up relationship with abuse and still want to have sex
Arlo
Nobody’s saying that
Arsen
I never said any of that
Zane
Can I just be the voice of reason here for two seconds and suggest we get Ever a therapist?
Felix
You think my brother isn’t already working on finding one that will keep his mouth shut?
