It's so dark...

That's right, you were in a hurry to go back, weren't you Jude?

I know this is late of me to say this, but I troubled you, didn't I...

Your parents must be worried. Should I give them a call?

Ah...

Redirecting to the automated response.

That'll be fine. Both of my parents work, so they are all busy. They certainly won't even realise that I haven't come back.

My dad, although a small hospital, is the director so he's barely back home,

and my mum's a doctor, too, so she's doing night shifts all the time.

So you're always home alone then, Jude? That must be tough.

Ah... yeah. And I go to school, so... That's right. There has been only a few occasions when the whole family gathered around the table, I guess.

...I see.
