Pretend there's like, a million asterisks here!

( Laurent loathes the couch. )

( Khalil leaves his bedroom with enormous trepidation the next morning. )

Current Music: Art vs. Science - Parlez-Vous Francais?

( The rest of the day passes peacefully at least; Miriam stays to herself, and she seems to be making a visible effort not to even look at Khalil. )

( Diego sits with them in the living room, everyone balancing their plates on the laps or knees while watching TV again. )
