INT. – ORPHANAGE, BASEMENT ROOM – MEANWHILE

Gabriel and Ty watch as Pearl walks over.

GABRIEL

There have been adoption events.

PEARL

Of course.

GABRIEL

Why are we never at them?

PEARL

The two of you work here.

GABRIEL

So we can’t be adopted?

PEARL

Do not ask me questions. Just do what I tell you.

Pearl walks off. Ty sits on the bed by the left corner. Gabriel turns to face him.

GABRIEL

You rarely talk.

TY

No one cares what I think.

GABRIEL

I do.

Ty looks at Gabriel.

GABRIEL

You can always talk to me.

TY

You can talk to me too.
