[the video flicks on to show nill outside the church. the comm is facing the street, which anyone who has been there should recognize. there isn't much going on, except a bright red convertible mustang sitting near the curb. the boy in the driver's seat waves in nill's direction before driving off, complete with squealing tires. she kind of waves back, but as soon as he's gone, nill turns the camera to her face, which is both troubled and confused. she can't be bothered with proper punctuation at the moment.]

but i think girlfriend means something different
and he said we went on a date
but we just ate lunch in a restaurant and i do that with a lot of people

what is wrong with my dress?

N-Nothing! It's super cute, as always!

But maybe in his culture a sailor outfit means a date?

[He has no idea what he's talking about here.]

oh thank you
maybe it does i mean i have never worn this dress before

Have you tried the overalls yet? Maybe wear those next time he wants to do something with you and he'll know you want to be more a . . . mechanic to him than a girlfriend.

Okay!

If it doesn't work I can come with you next time. I'm great at sabotagin' dates. [Then deadly serious:] Because I'm 13, awkward and don't get romance.

[culver]
