Camera shows above head shot before lowering as it shows the girls walking down the street in silence.
River
(Uncomfortable)
I... I'm sorry...
At this, Stace turns to look at her.
Stace
Stop saying that. I won't believe you until you show me. Regardless, where do you wanna go now? Surely you've thought of something by now.
River
(Silent)
After a moment, Stace pipes up again.
Stace
Really? Nothing?
River
I...
River begins to tear up before tears actually start flowing.
River
(Sob)
Stace, I... I'm sorry.
Stace looks at the ground after.
Stace
(Sigh)
Fine...
She closes her eyes as she says this.
Stace
I guess I've been being a bit harsh...
Opening her eyes again, she walks back over to River, placing a hand on her shoulder.
Stace
I'm sorry. It's just... This job means a lot to me... And I can't risk losing it. Don't you understand?
River
(Sobs)
Y-Yeah. I do... And I'm so sorry!
River abruptly hugs Stace, who receives it this time.
Stace
(Thoughts)
I guess she isn't really being malicious...
She pats River's back as they hug.
Camera pans out before cutting.
