Text transcript
[[Tsamantha is talking on the telephone. Jimothy is in a nearby room reading a book, oblivious.]] Tsamantha: It's only been a few weeks! But I try to talk to him about it... Tsamantha: ... he smiles and chuckles and it's like he thinks it's a story we tell each other to be cute. Tsamantha: Yeah! Just like you said! It's really scary. What should I do? Will it happen to me? Tsamantha: You did? He didn't tell me. Does he not trust me now, or did he forget that, too? Tsamantha: Yeah, I know. We need to get out of here. Can I count on you? Will you help? Tsamantha: Thank you, Professor. I owe you.
