the left one on the desk. His eyes are lost inside the
screen and he repeatedly reads the mail.
A beep coming from the computer reactivates him. He then
realizes that it is Luna who is speaking to him using
messenger. She starts an unremarkable conversation: ‘How
are you?’ ‘What are you doing?’ ‘Where have you been?’
Victor reads all these questions before he can move his
hand to the keyboard and ask her: ‘How is that possible?’
‘How can you be online?’ ‘Where are you?’ ‘Where are you?’
‘Where are you?’ But she is not responding to any of these
questions. Victor waits impatiently for a few seconds but
when it is obvious that she is not typing anything else
Victor jumps from his chair and makes his way out of the
room, starting to speak before he reaches Ania´s room.
VICTOR:
Ania! Ania! You won’t believe what
is happening!
Ania does not reply. But Victor enters her room very
excitedly and he continues talking.
VICTOR:
Luna^ Luna is there! Well, she is
not there but she is, was,
speaking to me in messenger.
Ania looks to Victor with a half smile and a compassionate
face, but she does not say a word.
VICTOR:
This time... This time it is true.
It is not happening in my mind.
She e-mailed me and she was just
speaking to me in messenger. I
told you! I told you! I.
Victor looks to the screen of her computer. We can see it
as well.
VICTOR:
.am an idiot.
On the screen we can see a window of messenger open and
flashing. It is a conversation with Victor. Victor’s face
looks sad and disappointed.
