NEARBY PSYCHE WARD

Jin: Mr. Mishima?

Kazuya: It's good to see you. Please close the door.

Jin: How are you doing?

Kazuya: I want to tell you something Jin. I don't know if I'm going to make it through this.

Jin: What?!?!? Mr. Mishima, you can't be talking like that.

Kazuya: I'm a broken man Jin, I'm broken.

Jin: Sir, what makes you broken?

Kazuya: I don't talk to those stupid doctors.

Jin: Sir, what makes you broken.

Kazuya: I'm dead Jin. I feel dead. I am dead.

Jin: Mr. Mishima, you're not a broken man.

Kazuya: I saw her Jin.

Jin: You saw who?

Kazuya: Jun. She's mocking me.

Jin: Mr. Mishima, it's just your imagination.

Kazuya: Jin, I'm tired.

Jin: I'm going now. Take care. AT CLASS

Christie: Ling, um, can we talk?

Ling: Sure Christie what is it that you want to talk about?

Christie: Are you in Jin, well you know?

Ling: No Christie, why are you asking?

Christie: I was just kind of curious.

Ling: Well okay then.

Christie: He loves you ,doesn't he?

Ling: What?

Christie: Just tell me the truth.

Ling: There is nothing going on between us.

Christie: Well he is very handsome.

Ling: The only reason you want to go out with him is because of your vague, meaningless conquest, of your own ruthless shallowness Christie.

Christie: Excuse, I don't believe you are in the position to judge me.

Ling: You judge people everyday. I won't let Jin become another one of your conquest in which you use, spit him out and find the next testosterone moving organism.

Christie: I'm going home. I don't need to listen to this.

Julia: What was all that about?

Ling: Nothing. I'm going to check up Mr. Mishima.

Julia: Alright, but we are still for lunch tomorrow aren't we?

Ling: Yeah Julia.

AT THE PSYCHE WARD

Ling: Jin, how is he?

Jin: He's getting better. But he's been a little delusional. Hey what is that?

Ling: Oh this book? It's for Social Science class. I have analyze how music and TV has made affects on us as individuals and as a society as a whole.

Jin: Sounds like you will be busy.

Ling: I will.

Jin: So Ling, we haven't talked for few days. What is happening with you?

Ling: :A rampant squirrel attacked four teenagers off Merbury Lane.

Jin: A rampant squirrel?

Ling: Or a raccoon, I didn't get a clear picture.

Jin: There two very different species how could you know which one it is?

Ling I wasn't paying attention at the time

Jin: The place got great lemon squares.

Ling: MMM, I love lemon squares.

Jin: Actually I had a lemon square and thought, I wish Ling was here.

Ling: Jin, shut up and tell me where the lemon squares are?

Jin: You're going to have to do something for me.

Ling: What if I beat the tar out of you.

Jin: It's always violence with you.

Ling: Hey what can I say?

Jin: Well Ling Xiaoyu will never become a social leader .

Ling: Was that my dream in the first place Jin?

Jin: It might have been.

Ling: Thanks Jin. I love your social commentary of me.

Jin: How did my last statement make this a social commentary?

Ling: I don't know Jin. Wait a minute, Jin, why are you laughing?

Jin: It just reminded me of old times.

Ling: Yeah.

Jin: You know before I had to worry about Mr. Mishima.

Ling: He'll get better Jin.

Jin: I don't think he will.

Ling: Don't lose faith Jin.

Jin: I've already lost faith in him Ling.

Ling: Why don't you go get something to eat, and I'll check up on him. Alright?

IN KAZUYA'S ROOM*

Ling: Kazuya?

Kazuya: Oh, hi Ling.

Ling: Is someone here in the room with you ? It sounded like you were talking to someone.

Kazuya: I was just talking to her..

Ling: Mr. Mishima, who were you talking to?

Kazuya: Her.

Ling: Who were you talking to?

Kazuya: Her..

Ling stood in complete awestruck. Mr. Mishima had completely lost it. But what he did next was unexpected. He leapt from his chair and grabbed onto Ling. He sobbed yelling out Jun's name. Ling stood there and held Mr. Mishima in her arms, completely surprised. He then let go and collapsed in tears..
