Why the chat said this
The group chat says wait: don’t answer tonight, and answer tomorrow only if you still want to.
- Late-night texts can wait for daylight.
- You don’t owe an instant reply to a slow replier.
- If you still want to answer tomorrow, that’s your answer.
A text you could send
Tomorrow, at a normal hour: “Hey! Just seeing this.”
