"Is it communication?"

— A different girl (17) is seen sat next to a Boy (17) at a table. She is feeding him a strawberry. They look to be enjoying each other's company.

UNSEEN FEMALE TEEN (V.O)

"Or is it just being so indescribably happy with another being?"

- A final heterosexual pair of the age of 17/16 are seen at another table. She is sat on his lap, and you can see them indistinctly laughing.
