Dalton texted: “It’s been a long time. I honestly don’t care anymore. And besides… what’s the point in clearing things up now? Clear the misunderstanding… and then what? Go back to being childhood friends? 1 don’t need that. Things are fine the way they are now.”

Jean replied: “I guess that makes sense… but still, do you really not want to be friends with my brother again?”

Dalton answered: “It’s not about wanting or not wanting. I’m just going with the flow these days.”

Jean stared at her screen in silence for a while.

Then, as if something had suddenly clicked, she quickly started typing again.

Jean asked: “Wait–so when you and my brother had your falling out, you weren’t in a wheelchair yet? You were still going to school? Then later, how did you… Sorry, I’m just really curious. I didn’t mean to be rude- do you mind me asking?”

Dalton replied: “I don’t mind at all. Like I said, I’ve made peace with it. It’s been a long time, and with time, things settled. Back then, I didn’t need a wheelchair yet. I could still walk, still had the strength to go to school. Even after things completely fell apart between me and your brother, I stuck it out for a while. I didn’t give up–I kept going to class, kept turning in my assignments. But eventually, I couldn’t keep up. My condition took a sudden turn for the worse. That’s what put me in the wheelchair–my health just went downhill fast.”

Jean responded: “So that’s what happened. Just like I suspected…”

Dalton texted: “Once I had to rely on a wheelchair, I had no choice but to take a leave from school. On the day I went to fill out the withdrawal paperwork, I went to school one last time. And guess what–I actually ran into your brother.”
