__________PART 24__________
*A few nights have passed. Trillion/Salem/Jun and Noriko are all moved into their new apartment. Everyone is out, except Jun, who is seated in his bed playing with Salem’s guitar*
*Trillion comes home from work, and sighs.*
Trillion: Goodness, I need a night off! Oh, hello Jun.
Trillion: I didn’t think anyone would be home.
Jun: Hi Trillion. They’re all at the Sushi bar. Nori wanted me to come, but… I know Rain wouldn’t like it.
Trillion: *getting some warmer clothes* I suppose Rain is going to have to get used to you…
Jun: Eventually.
Trillion: Um. I have to change.
Jun: I’ll close my eyes.
Trillion: *Changes her shirt, reaches for her coat*
Jun: You know, you’re a great dancer.
*Trillion stops, wide eyed, and stares at Jun.*
Trillion: What did you just say?
Jun: An old buddy and I went out for drinks last night. *he pauses* …To a place called, “The Pink Lady”…
Trillion: *pulls on her coat, and turns to leave* I have to go.
Jun: Wait! I didn’t mean -
*Trillion leaves, and Jun is left alone.*
Jun: I didn’t mean to offend you…
