KILO: And now they’re together. Go figure.
EBE: No way, you’re kidding.
KILO: You wish I was. I’m serious. They’re literally dating each others’ brothers.
EBE: (Laughs) And how do you know all this?
KILO: It’s nothing, really, I just listen. Put on some earphones, pretend I’m listening to music while scrolling through my phone or space out or whatever, but really, I’m paying attention to all the juicy gossip around me. Nobody wants to bother the kid with earphones in.
EBE: That’s amazing. I never thought about doing that.
KILO: I’m sure you still hear things, anyway.
EBE: Honestly, it’s more like they tell me things.
KILO: You wanna fill me in maybe?
EBE: On what? What do you really want to know?
KILO: Actually, I have a question I’ve been dying to ask.
EBE: Go on…
KILO: What is it about this LEO character you have such the heavy hots for?
EBE: (flustered) Excuse me? I—I think he’s cute, that’s all.

EBE: No, I… I never really thought much about it. You know? I just said I liked him because I did. But I’m thinking about it now. (Hesitant at first, progressively more passionate) He’s a sweet guy. When his friends need him he seems to always be there. Even when you don’t need him, he’s there. He’s a bit clumsy, but I don’t mind… it’s adorable. If I could only hear his heartbeat, it would be the kindest one in this city.
KILO: Appreciate the sweet speech there, but you could’ve at least mentioned he’s hot.
EBE: (Giggles in nervous laughter) Yeah yeah, that too.
KILO: You gotta at least say it yourself.
EBE: …Leo is also pretty hot. There. I don’t know why you made me say that.
KILO: (Aside to Leo, listening to conversation): And now you know, man. I told you she thinks you’re hot.
EBE: (In flustered realization) You son of a—
