“I wasn't raped or assaulted, but I think I was legitimately out of my mind at the time. I vaguely know there are mixed episodes, but I don't think I have them or at least haven't yet. And I can't think straight. And I can't see straight. I couldn't even drive. And I haven't seen you in person in a little while.”
