"Yeah, I didn't sleep at all last night," Dilbert Walker was frank.
He had a strong urge to follow up on Ella Lacey's comment and explain why he had stayed awake.
To tell her about Arthur Lindsey's current dire situation!
However, Ella merely said, "After you drop me off at school, you need to go home and catch up on your sleep."
"…" After pondering for a moment, Dilbert decided he still wanted to shift the conversation back to Arthur, "Once I've dropped you off at the university, I need to head to the airport."
"Why do you need to go to the airport?" Ella asked casually.
"To see Arthur off to Germany," Dilbert finally mentioned Arthur's name.
However, Ella simply responded with an "oh", and did not continue the conversation.
Dilbert was so frustrated that he really wanted to tell her, 'Miss Lacey, do you know you'll never see Arthur again?'
