FREASIA

You won't want him to like you,
darling, if he's out of your
league.

LADA

His handsome face would've made it
worth the risk.

FREASIA

And if he's some criminal?

LADA

Do not mother me here, I'm a big
girl, Freasia. Where's your sense
of adventure?

FREAS

A stubborn girl who can still get
into trouble. I was like you once.

LADA

And now you're old enough to
actually be my mother.

Their voices are fading out as Neonila is quietly leaving
them, making her way to the stranger. The stranger, aware or
not, gets farther away from her until he's taking the door
outside of the mansion. Neonila hesitates for a moment,
looking back at Lada and Freasia, still arguing, before
determinedly following the young man outside.

Lada and Freasia stop arguing to look around them, noticing
that Neonila is nowhere to be seen.

LADA

Where's Nila?

FREASIA

You must've awaken her sense of
adventure, it seems.

LADA

She won't get into trouble, will
she?

FREASIA

Not in her father's mansion, no.
The guards are everywhere.

LADA

Weren't those same guards supposed
to makeep away any uninvited guests
tonight?
