Shadows on the Wall: Repent! The end is at hand!
[A-ko and B-ko sit at a little table with a ruffled tablecloth. On the table are a tea service and two cups.]

B-ko: So then, of course, we were all just terribly shocked, as you can imagine.

A-ko: Mm-hmm.

B-ko: And then she said-- Oh, would you like another cup of tea?

A-ko: Oh, yes, of course.

B-ko: Yes, yes. [Pours another cup of tea.] Sugar?

A-ko: Three lumps, please.

B-ko: Where was I? Oh, yes. So she said--

C-ko: [bursts in, disheveled] The sky is falling!

[A-ko and B-ko turn to stare at her.]

C-ko: It is, it really is! First it turned white, and then it started coming down!

Ak-o: [goes to the window] It's snowing.

C-ko: Repent! The world is ending!

B-ko: It does this every winter. Well, almost every winter.

C-ko: I repent of not eating more chocolate!

A-ko: Seriously. It's perfectly safe. Later we can go sledding in it.

C-ko: I repent of not wasting my money on frivolous things!

B-ko: You'll be fine as long as you bundle up.

C-ko: I repent of not having three-girl orgies in my room while I am supposed to be convalescing!

A-ko: Really, it's just cold and a little damp, is all... what did you just say?

[B-ko just stares at C-ko.]

C-ko: [looks at the two of them] What are you staring at me like that for?

A-ko: [hastily] Oh, no reason, no reason. Look, it's not the end of the world. See? [Goes outside and stands under the snowfall.]

C-ko: [follows her out] Oh. No, I don't see the End of the World anywhere.

B-ko: [also goes out] It's so pretty. Like little stars.

A-ko: Falling stars, though.

C-ko: [staring upwards at the falling snow] Only rose petals fall so slowly.

B-ko: What is she talking about?

A-ko: A scandalous video..
