CHARLOTTE’S MAZE - CONTINUOUS

Phemie coughs violently. Mizuki looks at Phemie with pity.
MIZUKI
Phee--
PHEMIE
I’m fine, alright?!
Phemie starts to walk away.
MIZUKI
No, you’re not!
Mizuki grabs her shoulder. Phemie turns to her, frustrated,
clearly worn out. They gaze at each other.

MIZUKI
Look, Phee. You’re sick, I’m
wounded. Let’s throw in the towel
and go, while we still can --

PHEMIE
I’m not letting Lita DIE!
MIZUKI
We’ll be dead before we even REACH
her!

Silence, for a moment. Then:

PHEMIE
(hushed)
How am I gonna sleep, huh? How am
I gonna get in bed knowing my best
friend might be dead when I wake
up?
