FADE IN:
EXT. GRAVEYARD - NIGHT
MAYA, 20s, tattoo on her cheek, knife on her thigh, lights a cigarette next to a gravestone. Tania, 20s, longer hair, dressed more subdued, an anklet on, watches and breathes deeply.
TANIA What made you finally accept my invitation? Maya turns away.
MAYA Had to see for myself if he was really gone.
TANIA Maya, he died a year ago. Why now? Maya turns and grins without humor.
MAYA Why not?
Maya guffaws, not sure if she is joking.
MAYA "Cuz"! You must be joking.
TANIA Saying we aren't doesn't make it
so. It's not a matter of will. But we can-
MAYA We can't do anything.
TANIA You came all this way. Something tells me you want to reconnect. Maya looks into the empty field. She speaks abruptly.
