COT
Forever!?
LEE
Well, not forever. Just a little… spirited off.
Until the pixies decided what to do.
COT
M-my friend! He stepped there, and there was a flash!
Then he was… then he was gone ...
LEE
You saw the event? Incredible! Can you describe the flash?
[LEE kneels next to COT, excited]
COT
I didn’t … I don’t … I guess it was… circular?
LEE
“Circular?” That’s the best descriptive term you can conjur?
I assumed it would be circular because it takes place inside a circle!
Do you remember any colors? Any sounds?
Come on, kid, I’m asking for science!
[LEE suddenly furrows her brow and addresses the empty air to her left]
LEE
-Hmm? Oh, relax, Maddy.
This is a completely normal conversation!
Science!
