INT. PRESENT DAY – WELLNESS CENTER – CONTINUOUS

VAN Did you sleep?

MISTY (CONT'D) (whisper) Hello, old friend.

Her phone buzzes. A text from an unknown number:

LOTTIE Shh. It’s almost time.

Lottie sits beside her. Takes her hand.

LOTTIE (CONT'D) The thing with no eyes. It’s not alone anymore.

ACROSS THE ROOM, MARI (19) sharpens a knife against a whetstone. Rhythmically. Too fast.
