The next day...
The suppressants didn't work and the heat in his body had gotten worse. He took a look at the bottle of suppressants. It's expired? He threw it to the ground angrily. It wouldn't work as effectively.
This is frustrating. He took his phone and texted Ezra. 'I won't make it to school today.'
Ezra had already gotten to school when he received Arthur's message. He became anxious almost immediately. Did something bad happen to him? 'Is something wrong?' he replies.
It was a long while before Arthur replied. 'I'm in my rut, my suppressants have expired, I should be in school tomorrow though.'
Ezra looks at his phone blankly. 'Oh.' he texted back. He didn't know how to feel knowing this. No other tech came in, and Ezra became a bit depressed. He suddenly felt incredibly lonely knowing that Arthur couldn't come to school at all.
