That's your plan. Just avoid the whole issue until it goes away. You want me to pretend there isn't a problem.
[ can you see where he might be having a problem with this? ]
Don't feel responsible for me just because I'm a kid.
I'll do my best. [ Still irritated, but there's finally some sympathy there - because he gets it, teenagers make stupid mistakes, Isaac didn't mean for this to end in death threats.
But that's still the end of the call, because now he's got to deal with the mess. ]

Anyone can find a reason in anything if they really wanted to, Josh.
Just— dude, don't get hurt on my account. Please?
