[ The video flashes on to show Reilly in his apartment, sitting at the couch, staring at the camera. Alone. ]

Has anyone heard from Ben Reilly recently? 'Cause I haven't. And he hasn't come home in a while. I'm starting to think...

[  He puts his head in his hands. ]

No, I'm-- I'm sure of it. He's gone.

[ Disconnects. ]

Is there anything I can do for you? Would you--like some tea? Or coffee?

Sure, Gemma. Tea would be great.

Alright. Would you like to come over, or shall I...?

To be honest with you, I'd really like an excuse to not be in my apartment right now.

Thanks for understanding. Sorry to impose.

You aren't imposing at all. Actually... I'm dreadfully starved for company at the moment. My roommate--Wanda--is in Croatia.

[any of the above is awesome!]

Oh. I'm-- sorry to hear that.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm on my way.

It is alright. She... needed time away.

[And she goes about starting to make tea!]

[Awkward Reilly getting an awkward Gemma rushing to the door, smoothing the front of her skirt. Awkward smile.]

Come in, Reilly.

[ Awkwardly entering! And awkwardly smiling back. ]

Thanks, uh-- again.

I know this was kind of sudden, and we haven't really hung out since...

[Let's just assume that every action and word is laden with awkwardness. Like the way she's waving her hand at him and ushering him inside.]

It is alright. I--think it's silly for us not to see each other outside the office just because of that.

[ Indeed, the room is practically thick with it as Reilly stands there, looking for a place to sit down. ]

It is kind of silly, isn't it.

Still, I-- owe you an apology. For making that stupid post, and... everything.
