John's eyes widen, he knows exactly what Dave is talking about. every detail is just running back into his mind. Every single thing he ever said to Dave, every single thing he and Dave shared in common. All the movies they streamed together, all the chats they ever shared. All the logs were still on his old computer, which he refused to sell or get rid of for certain reasons that may pertain to that.

Nevermind the fact that Dave knew that John had shot a glance at his hip. Nevermind the fact that he's talking to Lily right now as every detail of his pre-teen years is leaping back into his dim brain. John shuts the car door and takes a moment with Dave himself. He has to confirm the reality of what Dave just said.

"We got into a huge fight and never spoke after that." John lets it slip out of his mouth. "I changed my Chumhandle, and I assume you changed yours and we never spoke after that. Until right now at this very second."
