Wednesday afternoon in Cammeo’s room …
















MEZ:
Cammeo,  this just arrived for you.


CAMMEO:
Lovely. I’ve been waiting for this. It’s a bed for Charlotte.
















MEZ:
You bought a bed, for your doll?


CAMMEO:

Don’t you think she deserves her own bed?


MEZ:
When you put it that way, I guess so.
















CAMMEO:
Have I told you how much I love my Charlotte? It’s so nice to
have her here to keep me company, even if she is just a doll. 





















CAMMEO:
… Do you know what’s odd?  When Herita was here, we
barely spoke. It wasn't as if she was good company. And  
when we did speak, well, she was always so …
















MEZ:
Snarky.


CAMMEO:
I was about to say disagreeable, but I suppose snarky’s a bit more
spot on. Anyway, soon I’ll have Lu’s niece as my room mate. 





















MEZ:
You’re really OK with that, aren’t you? I’d love to
have my own room. Jesse’s such a pain in the  … 
















CAMMEO:
Now now, Jesse isn’t really that bad a chap,
besides, you also have Io.


MEZ:
Yeah,  it’d be great if it were just him and me …
















CAMMEO:
Oh! Oh dear …





















MEZ
What the hell is that?
















CAMMEO:
Herita’s doll. I sent it to her with her things. Hmm, I didn’t even
think to look at the return address. Why do you suppose
she sent it back here?


MEZ:

Because she’s a psychopath. You should send it right back to her.


CAMMEO:
Why?
















MEZ:
Because she’s messing with you, like she’s trying to have the last
word or something. Really Cammeo, send it back.   





















CAMMEO:
Hmm, I see what you mean. Quite right, I will.
