[ Jeff hums in understanding. It's another thing they've got in common, the one thing connecting everyone who's been here for as long as they have: loss. Those few friends he has left, the ones who haven't vanished, he'd probably tear this town apart just to hold onto them. ]

I almost did. During the blackout. I guess all those things going bump in the night really freaked me out. [ He admits it casually, like it's just another joke. Jeff sets his guitar down in its case and flops down beside her. ]

Nah. I'm not ghosting him, just... giving him space, I guess. In case he's pissed. He can find me if he wants-- when he wants. [ Jeff tilts his head back against the wall and laughs fondly. ] Like a game of hide 'n seek.
