[Well, that's... not exactly what Josh expected to hear. But really, what did he expect? He doesn't know. But not that, even though once he hears it, it sort of makes sense. Something about timelines, Chris' attitude. Whatever.
There are a lot of things that he should say, but somehow the first thing that comes out of his mouth is:]
So, how'd it go?
[Because he invested time in that. Time, money, effort. A certain amount of emotion, as much as he can invest emotion in anything these days, which is difficult and confusing and usually painful. Things have always been difficult for Josh, but everything was worse after he lost Beth and Hannah. That - the prank - was inevitable, really. Surely they must see that. They deserved to understand what it was like, what they'd done.
They still do. It's less satisfying since Josh wasn't there to see it.
Fucked up, though. He does know that. Somewhere, he feels guilty, but there are so many other things that it's easy to not pay attention to it.]

Pretty fucking amazing, right?
