It's difficult to wrangle everybody the next day. No one will say that their anxiety levels are sky high, or that they want to avoid each other because they're struggling to make sense of what went down yesterday, but they also don't have to. It's made evident by the two-to-three word replies in the group chat.
"I'm busy today," Addy says.
"It'll take 5 minutes," you tell them.
"I can't leave," they reply.
"Suit yourself, but the suspense is killing me," Diego chimes in.
"I want to see whatever it is you're talking about," Kirill says.
"Everybody needs to see it," you tell the group. "Addy, if you can't leave, we can come over. Just for a few minutes."
"I don't want to go if they're going to be like this," Anuja messages you privately.
"Fine. But you can't stay long," Addy says.
