O’s face

Lights up when she sees them

Big smile. “Hi, guys!”

Hi.

Hi.

“How are you?” Ben asks, feeling stupid.

“You know, I’m okay,” O says. “It’s a slacker girl’s fantasy—I’m actually forced at gunpoint to lie around my room and do nothing but watch bad TV.”

“It won’t be for much longer.”

“No?”

“No.”

“How are you guys?”

“Yeah, good,” Chon says.

“Ben, you good?”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” Ben says.

The session is cut off.
