Um, speaking of funny, I've heard tell of a lot of Heartstopper memes doing the rounds in your WhatsApp group. Our group chat is called "Dinner at Fis's." We all went to dinner at Fisayo's house, and that's the group chat.
Yeah.
And no one's changed the name. But it's what everyone's been using. Is Will Gao's epic poem in that group chat?
Will's epic poem is in that group chat.
That came in yesterday. Has anyone read it for you? Not yet, but if you would.
Do I get it?
You get it. Can you give me, like, big, like, Shakespearean energy? We're reading this at the Globe, we're on stage. It's called "Four Years in Light and Laughter." Yes. Four years wrapped in stories we told With hearts on sleeves and hands to hold A chosen family, scene by scene In between the lines we lived a dream We stepped on set with nerves and hope Grew side by side, learned how to cope
[exhales, chuckles] Cameras rolled, the world stood still Each take a memory we'd later feel There were laughs that echoed Down the halls Late night chats and curtain calls Inside jokes and quiet tears Shared through joy and growing years We danced through rain, we lit the dark Each one of you left your spark It wasn't just a script we read But truth and love in all we said Now the credit's near and the art complete Yet friendship keeps its steady beat Though sets may strike and lights may dim Our bond still burns bright from within So here's to you, my truest crew To every laugh, each line, each view Forever grateful, ever near We wrap the show But love stays here
Wow.
Isn't that special?
Isn't that special?
Isn't that special? I don't think it warranted a reply. I gave him a thumbs up on the group chat.
[Joe] I replied.
That's quite brutal.
