[A bright light appears and Lanys appears in The Professor's office and she is wearing the exact clothes she had on that fateful night. She looks around and notices that everything is the same. She looks at her hand and sees that she has the silver pocket watch]
Lanys: (sadly) I'm back.
[Lanys puts the silver pocket watch back in the box she found it and locks it. She sees the letter the Professor (Peter) left for her and she puts it in her back pocket. She puts the wooden box back in the hidden cabinet]
Lanys: (softly) I wish I could go back, but I can't be messing with time.
[When Lanys puts the wooden box in the cabinet, she sees the photo she had seen before and she picks it up from the floor. While she stands she looks at the picture]
Lanys: (softly) so it was me all along.
[The picture is seen and is Peter wearing a tuxedo standing closely to Lanys in her crème dress]
Lanys: (softly) this must've been taken on the prom.
[Lanys holds the picture tightly and cries for a bit]
Lanys: (sobbing) it's not fair.
[Lanys looks at a clock and notices the hour]
Lanys: (softly) I better get back home.
[Lanys stands by the door with her hand on the light switch]
Lanys: (softly) Rest in Peace, Peter...you'll always be my soul mate.
[Lanys turns off the lights]
30 MINUTES LATER
[Lanys enters her dorm and Lexa is sitting in the living room. Lexa sees her and stands up]
Lexa: It's about time.
Lanys: (sobbing) Lexa...
[Lanys gives a long hug to Lexa]
Lanys: (sobbing) I've missed you.
Lexa: (confused) Okay? You okay?
[Lanys looks at Lexa and responds]
Lanys: Yeah.
Lexa: Well, tell me what did you find?
[Lanys gives a faint smile and takes out the photo]
Lanys: (lying) I only found this.
[Lexa takes the photo and looks at it]
Lexa: Wow, The Professor looks so young and...
[Lexa looks at the photo very focused]
Lexa: (curious) that girl looks just like you.
Lanys: What are you talking about?
[Lanys pretends to look at the picture]
Lanys: I don't see no resemblance.
Lexa: That's odd.
Lanys: You're odd.
[Lanys smiles when she says that and she takes the photo back]
Lexa: Why did you think The Professor left you that?
Lanys: Maybe to take care of it, I don't know.
