Altair: Wild classmates, huh? Any of them manage to catch your eye.

Clover: With my class load? Who has time for dating? [laughs]

Altair: Sure, but don’t forget to have fun while you’re there too.

Clover: Okay, okay mom. Enough about me though. Where is this mystery man that stole my other half away from me?

Altair: He’s around here somewhere. Provence dragged him off.

Clover: That’s good that they get along well.

Altair: Yeah… they’re like two peas in a pod. Especially when they can gang up on me. They’re quite the unstoppable duo.

Clover: Oh no!

Altair: It’s really helped with the transition for her a lot.

Clover: Altair! I feel like it’s been months. I was starting to forget what you look like.

Altair: [chuckles] Oh come on. It’s hasn’t been that long.

Clover: I’ve been dying here, girl. You up and ran off on me. I need my gossip time.

Altair: We literally would just giggle over your wrestling stars.

Clover: Um, yes. Now who am I supposed to talk to about them? Everyone else thinks I’m weird.

Altair: Speaking of everyone else. How are things at The Bay?

Clover: I guess it’s fine. I like my classes. Some of the berries I go to school with are wild.

Sirius: Where are you?

Altair: What are you talking about, I’m right here?

Sirius: Are you? You’ve seemed somewhere else a lot lately.

Altair: I’m sorry… I’m right here. I promise.

Altair: [quiet] We can’t be more than friends.

Ume: Why not?

Altair: I have a boyfriend.

Ume: Then why are you here looking at me like you’re waiting for me to kiss you?

Altair: I…

Ume: You can’t tell me you don’t want this too.

Ume: We shouldn’t have done this…

Altair: Why? I’m having a really good time.

Ume: I did too. That’s exactly the problem. Being out with you like this, it’s too much. I don’t think I can just be friends.

A Few Weeks Later…

Ume: Are you sure it’s okay for us to be out together?

Altair: We were friends before…everything.

Ume: …is your boyfriend really okay with this?

Altair: It’s just coffee. It’s not like we’re on a date. You’re overthinking things.

Sirius: You don’t have to apologize Altair, I’m here for you. Do you want to talk about it?

Altair: Can you… just hold me for a while? I don’t feel like talking right now.

[soft crying]

Sirius: Altair…

Altair: [sniffles] I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to keep you up.

Sirius: I’m sorry we had to cut your visit short.

Provence: It’s okay… I understand. We have to be here for mom.

Sirius: How are you doing?

Provence: I don’t know…? I’ve never got to meet grandma. It feels kind of weird. Like I know I’m supposed to be sad… but how do you cry over some you’ve never met? I just feel guilty.

Sirius: That’s a valid way to feel too.

Provence: I am a little sad I never got to meet her… How many more people are going to die before I get to meet them? I think… that’s what hurts the most. I never even get a chance to know them.

Sirius: …[quiet] I’m sorry Provence.

Provence: What are you sorry for?

Sirius: You shouldn’t have to feel the way you do.

Provence: At least I have you and mom. You should go check on her. She’s very emotional.

Sirius: [soft chuckle] Goodnight.

Provence: Goodnight!
