It's Alice. She's in her 20's, and has grown up beautifully.<br> | |||
She's arm in arm with... that teacher.<br> | |||
The two are in love. They'll probably be married before long. *<br><br></i> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
(Laughing) Fine, but I get to do whatever I want with the bedroom curtains.<br><br> | |||
<i>Alice suddenly grows thoughtful, looking ahead.<br></i><br> | |||

What's the matter?<br> | |||

MAN<br> | |||
Someone you know?<br> | |||
Alice<br> | |||
I'm not sure...<br><br> | |||
<i>Alice lets go of the man's arm and goes to Lain.<br> | |||
Alice has gotten taller. She bends over to look Lain in the eye.<br><br></i> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
Hello.<br> | |||

H, hello<br> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
Have we met before? We have, haven't we?<br> | |||
LAIN<br> | |||
... <br> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
Hmm. Did you go to the school where I was a student teacher? No, that's not it. Let me think...<br> | |||
LAIN<br> | |||
It's nice to meet you.<br> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
Huh?<br> | |||
LAIN<br> | |||
''(smiling)'' * This is the first time we've met.<br> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
''(puzzled)'' Really? ''(smiling)'' It's nice to meet you. I'm Alice. Great name isn't it? ''(sarcastic smile)'' Kinda embarrassing though. What's your name?<br> | |||
LAIN<br> | |||
... Lain.<br> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
Lain...<br><br> | |||

MAN<br> | |||
So it's someone you know?<br> | |||
ALICE<br> | |||
Nope, seems like I was imagining things. Well, goodbye Lain. Who knows, maybe we'll meet again somewhere, some day.<br><br> | |||
''The couple walk away from Lain, waving their hands.''<br><br> | |||
LAIN<br> | |||
That's right... We could meet at any time, Alice...*<br><br> | |||
