Several weeks later...
Ariyae is currently lounging around Rox's workshop with nothing better to do.
Ariyae: "(sighing) I've already had this power for several weeks, but I feel like I lost, 'me,' in the process."
She has barely been home for days, knowing now that she'll live far beyond her parents.
Ariyae: "Everyone has had to accept this. Now it's my turn, for Dae's sake and my own."
Rox enters with a bag full of groceries.
Rox: "Didn't realize that you're already here."
Ariyae: "Well, Cale moved in with Veld and I need something to do."
She takes the groceries from Rox.
Ariyae: "It just... feels weird to be like you guys."
Rox: "(somberly) I feel you. I remember back when Owen and I met and our dads knew each other for ages, but now they're gone and we're still here."
Ariyae: "At least I still have people I can talk to."
Rox: "(smiling) Thanks."
The sound of a motorcycle parking nearby is heard through the door.
Rox: "Owen?"
Owen enters the front door as he takes off his helmet.
Owen: "Well the gang split up and I'm fucked."
Ariyae: "Oh yeah... you were in a gang."
Owen: "Sorry it's on short notice, but do you mind if I crash here for a-"
Rox smacks a kiss onto Owen's lips for a moment.
Rox: "Go ahead."
Ariyae: "(dumbfounded) D-Did I just see that?!"
The room goes awkwardly silent...
