I am... not that tired anymore. I've actually had rest for once. I feel kinda strange right now. A bit spaced out. The room is very spacious and I hear things moving. Things are not moving. Am I making this up? Where did my phone go? Oh, it's right there. Gosh, it's bloody bright today, the sun is blinding me. Maya's still asleep, I should wake her up really, it's getting late.
E: [sits up] Hey... [shakes Maya] I'm bored.
M: [wakes up] Hi. [sits up] My arm hurts.
E: I know it does.
M: [sighs] I don't think I can really do today. [lies down on side] There's nothing I can really do anymore.
E: Come on now, there's plenty to come. [hugs]
M: The damage is done, it's irreversible now.
E: [squeezes] Shut up.
M: [quietly laughs] Alright Evin, you can do what you need to do.
E: [climbs over to face Maya] We have shit to do. [kisses] Don't you wanna get up? There's so much going on today and you can't miss it.
M: Well, I don't have the energy Evin.
E: And?
M: Why are you like this?
E: Don't like it, huh?
M: [grabs hair] Don't think about it. [kisses]
E: Will you at least get up for breakfast?
M: I guess.
E: [smiles] Good. [turns on radio]
M: What has you up and alert this morning?
E: Why wouldn't I be?
M: You want something. What?
E: I just wanna go get breakfast.
M: [softly] Okay... [pushes onto floor]
E: [yells]
M: [slowly gets out of bed] You coming?
E: [looks up at Maya] Yeah...

G: [sleeping]
S: [knocks door] Graham? Aren't you gonna get up? [opens door]
G: [snoring]
S: You must've had a late night... [gently shakes] Hey.
G: [wakes up] Hey.
S: What has you sleeping in this late silly?
G: What do you mean?
S: It's almost midday.
G: [looks at clock] Oh my god... I'm late for work.
S: Graham it's Sunday.
G: So it is.
S: What kept you up so late? [sits on bed]
G: A lot of my mind. The whole Evaya situation, bullying going on at work, the lot is driving me crazy.
S: Maybe you just need a night out on the town. Let yourself go, you gotta relax.
G: How can I relax when everything going on won't stop?
S: Easily done. Just forget it all.
