[ anyway as they apparently continue passing notes like they're in science class ]

yeah it's make believe. you should really ask eddie if you want to know more.

but ok sure. like i said i'll talk to him. we'll see where it goes.

[ he's not about to like force eddie to go play a game with the captain if he doesn't want to or anything but he'll deffo bring it up ]
