↓ Transcript

[Salime leans in the doorway with her arms crossed.]
Salime: We're almost packed up... My mom REALLY wants you to change your mind.
Lauren: (off-panel) There's stuff I gotta do. PEOPLE I need to find.
[The camera swings around, showing Lauren packing her rucksack with her back to Salime.]
Salime: People?
Lauren: I've got some... friends to get back to.
[Salime raises an eyebrow appraisingly.]
[Measuring her words very carefully, she casually glances down at her fingernails.]
Salime: You know, it wasn't thundering and lightning the other night. I've been wondering HOW, exactly, lightning could strike without thunder following it.
[Lauren pauses, her expression hardening at Salime's observation.]
