In my mind, I made a note to take extra care of myself when I went out somewhere with them. To amuse me, I called Ash to ask him where they were. But he didn't answer my call. I looked for the group chat where the two-party girls were and sent them a message.
--- Conversation in the girls' group ---
Sasha: "Where are you? Are you okay?"
Ash: "If you want to ask if we're alive, yes. We're at Matthew's house because we didn't want to get to my parents' house like this."
Sasha: "So we should go over there? We're at Louis' house right now because he's sending some documents."
Isa: "No, you'd better not come. We've been listening to a lecture from your friends and my brother for half an hour. You must save yourself." -- She attaches a picture of a crying cat --
Sasha: "So, shall I go home and see you there tomorrow?"
Ash: "What?! You're crazy! Look out the window, and you'll see the deluge outside!"
