SCENE 069 - INTERIOR CORRIDOR, AIMEE'S DORMITORY - NIGHT
WILLIAM and AIMEE walk alone in corridor of the apartments. Light from the lamps on the wall flicker around, creating shadows in the area. They come upon the door to the apartment. With a press of a button, she enters; she looks to WILLIAM.
AIMEE
Would you like to come in for a moment?
WILLIAM
Alright.
He follows her.
SCENE 070 - INTERIOR AIMEE'S DORMITORY - NIGHT
The door closes as WILLIAM enters the room: a beautifully lit living area of earthy colors. As AIMEE sits down on her sofa, WILLIAM walks around, investigating.
AIMEE
(jokingly) What are you doing?
WILLIAM
If you don't mind, I'd like to have a go around to see what your dormitory looks like.
AIMEE
Will, you've been here before. What could possibly change in so little a time?
WILLIAM
A lot of things can.
AIMEE
Fine, go ahead. Be kind to tell me when you've found something of interest.
WILLIAM
You know, you can laugh now, but sometimes those androids can be rather mistaken as to where our luggage may go.
AIMEE
Yes, of course. I'd hate to imagine where about they'd put my undergarments.
They both laugh silently.
AIMEE
That's not really what you're looking for, is it?
WILLIAM
What makes you say that?
AIMEE
I've noticed you go by my things on the way in, even looking down to acknowledge their presence. Also you've never taken the time in the past to observe the surroundings. There is something else on your mind, William, what is it?
WILLIAM
I'm just a little worried about your security.
AIMEE
My security?
WILLIAM
That's right, and I have good reason to be worried.
AIMEE
And why is that?
WILLIAM
Because, I'm your boyfriend; I care for you day and night, restlessly aware of your feelings as if they were my very own. I'm afraid of the possibility of the assassin returning to take care of Erikan, and then, coming for you.
AIMEE
But you said you took care of them.
WILLIAM
I believe I did, but she could have survived. Or others like her may be out there, waiting to strike next. I spent too long watching you grieve for the loss of your mother. I will not allow the grief of this matter to overtake the person who I care deeply for.
AIMEE walks over and throws her arms around WILLIAM.
AIMEE
Why are so you kind to me?
WILLIAM
(whispering) Because I love you.
AIMEE and WILLIAM look at one another and passionately embrace in a momentary kiss.
WILLIAM
Its late, I cannot linger.
AIMEE
Please, stay.
WILLIAM smiles.
WILLIAM
I shouldn't. It wouldn't be wise to test the Headmaster when she already has much to contest against. But I will meet you tomorrow.
AIMEE
William, my greatest weakness is loving you. Goodnight.
WILLIAM
Sleep well, Aimee.
WILLIAM exits through the doorway.
SCENE 071 - INTERIOR CORRIDOR, AIMEE'S DORMITORY - NIGHT
WILLIAM stops outside the doorway and reaches deep into his inner shirt pocket. He pulls out a long handle, the weapon from the crash scene, and moves forward and down the corridor.
