- Hey.
- ERIC: Hey.
Hey, come in.
I'm really glad you texted.

I owe you an apology.
I told my friends about us hooking up, and they said it was really insensitive of me to bring up the whole teacher-student thing.
- And - Oh, no.
- It it it's fine.
- No.
No, I feel like an asshole.
Like, I I told my therapist about it, and she said that we can build intimacy without even having sex, like eye contact or cuddling, you know.
Like, you must have such a weird relationship with sex.
No.
No, it's I I don't.
No, I mean, you're a survivor and stuff, and I'm a feminist.
And I think that I should be an ally to all survivors, so I want you to know that I'm here for you.
So whatever you need and however you wanna feel comfortable and safe, - that's what we're gonna do.
- Okay.
- WOMAN: So you're safe with me.
- All right, thank you.
All right? But I don't need to go slow, though.
Okay? I'm good.
WOMAN: Okay.
I I wanna go slow, though.
Um, but we already had sex.
WOMAN: I know, but now I wanna go slow.
So why the hell am I here? Because you texted me.
Yeah, I texted you, "You up?" That means "let's fuck," not whatever bullshit this is.
