Start part A
Zack: Hey!
The creature looks down at Zack and Ashley.
Zack: Quit looking! Your daughter isn't here!
GRAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Zack: I know it's hard to accept, but please listen to me! Your daughter is dead!!!!!
GRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
The creature's roars of grief can be heard throughout the city.
Meanwhile, somewhere in an office building.
*Humming*
Akiko walks down the hall, holding a stack of paper.
Akiko: Okay... This goes to... Department A? Haven't been there for a while... At least not since it burned down.
???: Akiko!!!
Akiko looks back and sees a girl running toward her, waving her hand in the air.
Akiko: Oh hey...
???: Hello! What's up? You look like you're not happy to see me!
Akiko: I am...
???: Then what's up? You seem embarrassed.
Akiko: It's just... Seeing your idiotic face is making me remember what happened...
...
???: Hmm?
Akiko: The night we both went drinking...
...
Akiko: We...
...
Akiko sighs.
Akiko: You kissed me!
...
???: No no don't make things up.
Akiko: You're denying it?!
???: I don't remember that. I remember drinking but never kissing.
Akiko: I swear it happened!
???: Are you sure?
...
Akiko: I'll help you remember!
???: Huh? How?
Akiko holds her coworkers' hands.
Akiko: Anything?
???: Not really...
Akiko presses her body up against her coworker.
Akiko: How about now?
...
???: Yeah... I get it...
Akiko: Aurora...
Aurora: Yes...?
Akiko: We shouldn't...
Akiko steps back.
Aurora: Uh... Yeah... So, did that really happen?
Akiko: Yes, it did... I kinda wish you remembered...
Aurora: Sorry for disappointing you...
...
There's an awkward silence.
GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
The building shakes.
Aurora: What was that?!
Akiko looks out the window.
Akiko: It can't be... Zack, what's happening?
Back at the apartment complex.
GRAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
Zack: Please!!! Calm down!!!
Ashley: She's losing it!!
Zack: I know...!!!
GRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Zack: SHUT.... UPPPP!!!
Start part B
Zack's voice echoes through the air.
The creature finally stays silent.
Ashley: That worked...
Zack holds his hand out towards the creature. The creature lies flat on the ground, allowing Zack to rub its head.
Zack: It's okay... Greif, all you want, Mama...
Tears start streaming down the creature's face.
Zack: That's it... Breath... In... And out...
The creature's breathing and whimpering and be heard throughout the city.
Zack: Hey... Your daughter said something... Wanna know? She called me a monster... She wasn't far off... She tried running towards you, but I stopped her... I'm sorry...
"It's fine..."
Zack: Huh...?
Zack looks at one of the creatures' eyes.
"I accept your apology. I know you meant well. Thank you..."
Zack: Of course...
Life fades from the creature's eyes.
Zack: You two are together now…
