Heron Lake Plateau Halp pls mom

It didn't really occur to Eljay that his mom might not be worried for his rushed call, considering he was usually anxious to some degree. He was just relieved when he saw her appear at the borders and let out a sigh. Then came the next rush of anxiety as he had no idea how to explain to his mother what was going on in his life right now. He just knew he was super confused. She greeted him like nothing new was up, even though everything was different now.

Eljay had to restrain himself not to call out 'Mommy!' in desperate happiness when he saw her come into view, and he did restrain himself, luckily. I need advice, he said, coming to the point surprisingly quick, but from then on it all stumbled backwards again. A lot of stuff happened, and just, Wiffle was sad about Bat and then I started to cry too and she sat really close to me and it felt kind of good but then I also had to cry because it's so unfair that bad things happen to someone like Wiffle and -- Eljay choked back a sob as he almost started to cry again thinking about what a big weirdo he'd been. She thanked me but she must think I'm a super big weirdo. I just -- I don't know what -- I'm so confused and how can I ever face Wiffle again? Well, surely Finley knew exactly what was going on and what had happened, now, from this super accurate clear description of the facts.
