A screenshot of a text message conversation where 'Clark' explains they are upset because the recipient didn't communicate their illness and hospital visit in Japan until the last minute, making them feel unconsidered.

Continuing the text message, 'Clark' expresses hurt and lack of trust, stating they were alone in a foreign country and the recipient acted like they were alone, not considering their feelings or the situation.
