INT. CASEY'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

ROUX MONET FIXES THEIR HAIR

LEVINA

Roux, I got a question for you.

ROUX MONET

Yeah? What's up, Lev?

LEVINA

You're non-binary, so have you ever thought of getting like... A non-binary haircut?

ROUX MONET

Yeah, I have. And honestly, I don't wanna get a haircut. My family always hated my hair like this, but I loved it. I always have.

LEVINA

Oh that's cool!

ROUX MONET

Thanks! Now I have a question for you.

LEVINA

Sure! What's up?

ROUX MONET

So I know how you and your siblings were created because I read some files Karai had left out. But even though you guys are siblings that are related to Karai, why do you think your skin looks so different when you're human?

LEVINA

Hmmm...

LEVINA THINKS TO HERSELF FOR A WHILE

ROUX MONET

Want me to tell you?

LEVINA

No, no. I'll figure it-

LEVINA SNAPS HER FINGERS AS HER EYES LIGHT UP

LEVINA

I didn't realize it at first, but our markings as mutants match up with our markings in our human forms!

ROUX MONET

Correct! And using the grayscale, we can match up colors.

LEVINA

Oh yeah, huh? I haven't done digital stuff in a while, so I nearly forgot about grayscale!

ROUX MONET

I used to do digital drawings and stuff for art classes when I lived in Paris.

LEVINA

Wait, you lived in Paris?! It's like one of the most popular countries ever!

PLAUTILLA

Paris is a city in France.

LEVINA

Oh.

ROUX MONET

It's quite okay, Levina. But why do you think I have this accent if I didn't live in France?

LEVINA

I dunno. Wait, can you speak French?!

ROUX MONET

Yeah, I can.

LEVINA

Can you say something in French?

ROUX MONET

Bien sûr que je peux, Levina.

LEVINA

Woah!! What'd you say?

ROUX MONET

Of course I can, Levina.

LEVINA

That's super cool! You gotta teach me sometime!
