[Periscope is sitting on top of their bed, reading. Here is where you remember that Periscope had a bedroom in episode 1.03. There's a knock on the door.]
Periscope, not looking up from their book: Yeah?
[Dice opens the door. After walking into frame, they lay on the bed next to where Periscope is sitting.]
Dice: Peri can I sleep here tonight?
Periscope: It's eleven in the morning.
Dice: Will you pet my hair while I fall asleep?
Periscope: ... Are you high?
Dice, sleepily: Mm...
Periscope: Where did you get pills?
Dice, sleepily: Same place as always.
Periscope: You can't be high in my room.
[Dice whimpers.]
Periscope: Dice, please go to your own room.
Dice, sleepily: Make me.
[The camera cuts to Dice lying down in a different bed in a different room. Periscope is sitting on the floor.]
Periscope: Are you okay?
Dice, sleepily: My wrist hurts.
Periscope: Oh, don't be such a baby. I didn't hurt you. Besides-
Dice, sleepily: I don't feel good.
Periscope: You don't feel good where?
Dice, sleepily: In my heart.
Periscope: Your physical heart or your emotional heart?
Dice, sleepily: I don't know.
Periscope: I'll be back. I'm just going to get you some water, is that okay?
Dice, sleepily: No, but you probably should anyways.
[The camera cuts to Dice and Periscope's kitchen. Pipette is sitting at the kitchen table. Periscope can be heard about to walk into frame, but stops.]
Periscope, out of frame: Pipette?
[Pipette doesn't answer. Periscope walks the rest of the way into frame.]
Periscope: We've been worried about you, where have you been?
Pipette: Where's Dice?
Periscope, walking to the cupboard and taking out a glass: Upstairs. Probably falling asleep. They, um... They went back to the Fixer.
[Periscope goes to the sink to fill the glass with water.]
Pipette: Really?
Periscope: I am positive.
Pipette: I'm sorry.
Periscope: It's not your fault. Dice has been worried sick about you, but I don't think that's why.
Pipette: ... Butterscotch.
Periscope, handing the glass of water to Pipette: Here. Go do some fixing of your own.
Pipette: Are you implying-
Periscope: I'm not implying anything. It's just going to make them feel better.
[Pipette walks off screen with the glass of water. The camera cuts to the inside of Dice's bedroom. There's a knock.]
Dice, sleepily: ... Mm?
