*Fabian walks out onto the porch to find Joy sitting on a chair looking off into the distance*

FABIAN: Hey Joy, Jerome is looking for you.

JOY: I know, I heard him calling me. It's just, I can't believe we're graduating. It feels like just yesterday I first walked into the house to find you reading some Stephen Hawking book.

F: *Takes a seat next to Joy* "A Brief History of Time". Yes, I still have that book. I remember that day. You were my first real friend. *Laughs* We've had a lot of history together.

J: Yea. First I disapper, then I come back and everyone moved on without me, then you reject me several times. *Starts developing angry tone* Oh yea, then you say you want to hang out more, reject me again, and then completely abandon me as if I never even existed. And then when I try and ask you for advice, you completely obliterate me with ridiculously cruel words. Yup, plenty of history. *Sighs*

F: *In apologetic tone* Joy, I am so sorr-, Wait, what do you mean I obliterated you? What did I say?

J: Oh, I don't know, something along the lines of everyone despising me. Oh, and that I should be grateful that no one is stupid enough to date me. How can you not remember something like that?

F: *Starts to realize what happened* Oh my goodness. Look Joy, you weren't in Sibuna at the time, so you didn't know what was happening. But, I was a sinner at the time.

J: What are you talking abo-

F: Let me finish. It might sound crazy, but I had my soul taken from me. When I said that to you, I wasn't, well, me.

J: Where the heck was I when you had your soul taken?

F: *Laughs* Yea, a lot was going on at the time.

J: That could explain why Alfie started freaking out when I told him.

F: Anyways, if I was actually myself at the time, I never would have said something like that to you. I'm incredibly sorry it never worked out for us. It's just, you were always such a good friend of mine-

J: Was. And I understand. I guess I should have never thrown myself on you, either. *Laughs*

F: No. Not was. You're still one of my best friends. *Gets up and gently kisses Joy on the cheek* I'm going to miss you so much Joy.

J: *Gets up and tightly hugs Fabian* You too... study buddy. *Laughs and wipes a single tear off her cheek*

F: I love you Joy. Now come on. *Grabs Joy's hand*Lets go.
