As soon as she lost her face a new receptor was created inside her right ear. That's how they send signals, that's how they work. Oh my god what's happening to me!
Roger sits down on a chair.
SIERRA

ROGER
Two nights ago, I was at a party, you were probably there I'd imagine.
SIERRA
I don't go to parties.
ROGER
Really? you seem like the kind of person that...anyway. I drank too much that night. Alcohol poisoning. I should have died. But I didn't.
SIERRA
Maybe you were lucky, a miracle you know?
