[ He's not worried the call has dropped; while Matt may be something of a Luddite — at least, as much as any millennial can claim to be a Luddite in this day and age — he knows Daisy is on the cutting edge of tech in a way he could never hope to be, so he assumes her phones are always up to the task of maintaining a connection. He is a little curious as to why she's suddenly stopped talking to him, but the clack of computer keys is a familiar sound to someone in academia, so he assumes she's researching stuff to do in Chicago.

He doesn't mind sitting on the phone with her in silence for a little while.

When she starts talking again, he realizes maybe she was researching something else. He's about to open his mouth to ask her how much it's displaying for when she continues, and his thoughts screech to a halt. ]
