INT. HOUSE - NIGHT

RENFRI (F16) sits in YEN's (F16) bedroom, along with TRISS,

CIRI and KARA. They're all in their pajamas, enjoying some

hot chocolate. Lit by fair lights that Yen has hung across

her walls.

CIRI

And so as he reached for me, you

won't believe what I did next, I-

TRISS

You screamed

YEN

You screamed

CIRI

Screamed...

Triss, Yen and Kara laugh.

CIRI (CONT’D)

Bitches.

Renfri is silent.

CIRI (CONT’D)

Thank you for not joining in Ren.

Renfri gives a vague smile at the mention of her name, not

registering it. A little bit of sweat trickles down her

forehead.

KARA

She just didn't listen. Ren?

RENFRI

No no, I heard. But go on Ciri,

what happened next?

CIRI

Well then the ground began to

shake...

Ciri's voice fades out as Renfri loses focus.

The ticking of the clock grows louder. Renfri's heart beats

slowly but each thump echoes.

RENFRI

(internally)

I should go. These guys will start

doing their nails soon. They can't

see my nails.

Renfri looks down at her nails. They're mishapen and sharp.

YEN

Ren, come sit closer-

From Yen's POV Renfri's nails look normal.

RENFRI

No this way I can see you all.

Yen shrugs.

CIRI

So shall I get the nail polish?

RENFRI

I think I'll head

CIRI

What? Why? We just getting started.

TRISS

Yeah stay.

RENFRI

No it's fine. I need to get home.

So much to do.

Close on Renfri.

RENFRI (CONT’D)

(internally)

Watch, they won't argue.

YEN

Well if you sure.

RENFRI

(internally)

See. Nothing. Just let me go. Why

do you all pretend to like me?

RENFRI (CONT’D)

Cool.

TRISS

Do you want some chocolate for the

road?

RENFRI

Na Im over it.

Triss is confused by that statement.

TRISS

I got it for you.

RENFRI

Im fine.

Triss seems hurt but shrugs it off.

Renfri moves to get her bags and glances in the mirror. Her

reflection has wrinkled skin, sunken eyes, and a haunted

presence.

CIRI

So shall we start with a white

base?

Renfri looks in her bag, sees a strip of medicine. Reaches

for it. It's empty. She thrusts it back, frustrated.

Renfri gets to leave. Triss is standing behind her.

TRISS

Hugs?

Renfri gives a half-hearted hug and practically runs out

before Yen, Ciri or Kara can get up.
