Week 4, Sunday

[reshoot]

[she's a day early, but after yesterday's festivities, she's in Han's office with a lot on her mind.]

...






...Here we are again.

[foo_bar]

[he adjusts his glasses just... slightly.]

... Hi Max. I actually have something for you.

[reshoot]

...You have something for me?

Like, me, specifically? Max?

Don't try to tell me you got me a present.

[foo_bar]

Um... sort of. But yes, it's specifically for you. I think you'll appreciate it.

[he reaches into his desk and pulls out not one, but two sheets of paper.]

[reshoot]

Either show me or tell me what it is. The suspense is killing me.

[she motions for Han to hand over the papers!!!]

[foo_bar]

[they are two letters from TWO mockrounders. which do you want first.]

[reshoot]

[lets start with reading the non-jake one]

[foo_bar]

hi guys!!!!!!!!!! : D i hope this actually gets through, so if it does, AWESOME! i hope everyone’s having a good time!? and doing some actual studying hahaha! although yoosung probably wouldn’t want that...he’d much rather play LOLOL. but studying’s important!!!!! that’s what my professor would say!i

are there new teachers??? they better be taking care of viv’s robots!!!!!! and is todd still telling you to kill? we really need to convince him to stop wasting so many necessary. it’s so inefficient! but that’s just what humans do, right?

but anyways, i hope you guys have fun! i know we are!!!

[flat gave you doodles, too. they're... they're nice?!]

[reshoot]

[Max's expression changes a number of times, beginning in confusion, but once she sees Yoosung's name, her eyes begin to shimmer and water. Is this for real? She has a guess but she can't know for sure...]

Oh my god.



Han, oh my god. I thought they were dead! I thought--Maybe, I thought--you didn't know what happened to them...

[she slinks down in her seat, touching the letter to her forehead.]

Flat...It's Flat...

[foo_bar]

[he's quiet, he doesn't want to ruin the moment, not with the other letter that she's got in her hands. This one is a touch more personal, with:

Max! Maximillion! Sweet child of mine!

That’s not too much, right? Right. It’s not. It’s totally cool. (You know Sweet Child of Mine, right? It’s not My Usual, but I tihnk it’s good for serious karaoke tiems.) Anyway, someone let me write a thing, and while I don’t know what to sya, I thought I’d give this THE BEST IVE GOT!!! So the best Ive got si taht I believe in you. And I know that you would make me prudo. Your a good kid, too good for this place.

Dnot let them taek that from yuou, okay? - Jake]

[reshoot]

[The small amount of composure she had breaks as soon as she gets halfway into the letter, spelling errors be damned. She reads it over several times, tears starting to slowly drip down her face, one by one.]

"Don't let them take that from you."

[the letter is clutched to her chest.]

Oh Jake...

God, I miss you...

[she wipes her eyes with a sleeve, give her a few moments, Han.]

This...This is real...?

It has to be...

[foo_bar]

They are. I looked into it after-- well. Our talk.

I can't do this regularly, but I hope it helps.

[reshoot]

Wait...

You were the one who got these...?

[foo_bar]

Yeah.

[he rubs the back of his neck, a little nervous.]

You wanted proof they were fine, right?
