Ethan

Your friend drank alone all evening. You simply sat next to him and watched him get completely wasted. By midnight, he was barely able to lift a fork into his plate, but he was still trying to explain to the waiter how to invest in cryptocurrency. The waiter nodded and took away the empty bottles. When the bar started closing, you realized you'd have to figure out how to find transportation.

You said it was time to go and offered to call a taxi. Your friend looked at you with bleary eyes and took offense. He declared he'd walk there himself, since it was actually nearby. Even though it was a forty-minute walk to his house, if you didn't stagger in a straight line. He couldn't stand up straight anymore. You told him to get in and told him you were calling a car.

Having finally seated your friend in a taxi, you drove home with peace of mind. Upon returning, you immediately plopped down on your bed, your eyelids grew heavy, and you fell asleep.

You woke up to messages on your phone. You looked at the time—1:32. Finally picking up your phone, you saw messages from a friend:

"Darling, what are you doing?"
"Are you here? Or did you fall asleep quickly?"
"Where did you go?"
"Why don't you answer me :("
"Please answer."
"Did I get to you?"
"Dear, please answer"
"Did I drive you crazy with texts and emojis?"
"Darling, even if we're in a fight" "Don't leave me alone tonight!!"
