Title text: I wish I knew how to quit this so I didn't have to quit you.

Explanation

The title is a direct reference to that fact that, starting with the third line, Rob and Emily's IM conversation is the exact same length. While this may be by chance, Rob is forced to change what he wants to type to continue the pattern, which Emily immediately breaks because she's hurt at what he's said. Rob then attempts to justify what he said which, possibly by design, is the normal text alignment for making text being even on both the left and right sides of a page.
