[As much as is physically possible, Jeremy sinks lower in the chair. He doesn't know Rich as well as Rich knows him, thanks to the odd timelines here, but he knows Rich has a bad view of alcohol as a coping mechanism. Sure, he was the one who told Rich where he was, but it feels like Rich is coming in here to bust him for drinking.

It's not like he has an excuse. With L acting this way, it's obvious that Jeremy's made another of his infamous bad decisions despite his best efforts.]

H-hey, Rich...

[His voice is weak. He looks immediately to L, trying to figure out what kind of encounter this'll be.]

I didn't ask him to come, I promise.
