Unmasked part 2 12:15 am, Nov. 1st (Justin’s room) J: (sitting on his bed hanging his head) God, what have I done? What have I done? M: (walks in) Justin, what’s going on? J: (looks up) What? M: Aisha just burst into my room and said you tried to rape her. J: I... M: She’s lying right? I know you, Justin. You may act like a bit of a creep sometimes, but I know you’d never rape a girl. I don’t think I’ve ever seen you GROPE one. J: I... Makoto... (looks down) M: 0_0 You didn’t. J: ........ M: You... you heartless LETCH! How could you?! J: Makoto, I didn’t do it! M: Then who?! J: .....I don’t know. M: How convenient. J: Makoto, I swear it wasn’t me. I mean it was me but... M: I don’t want to hear anymore. (grabs Aisha’s futon) J: What are you doing? M: Aisha’s sleeping in my room tonight. J: What? No. Makoto, please let me talk to Aisha. I need to explain myself. M: Have you no shame, Justin?! Right now, you’re the LAST person Aisha wants to talk to. (leaves) J: (pounds his fist on the bed) DAMN IT!! (holds his head and starts to cry) O: (peeks his head in) Zoo? J: *sob, sob* O: (flies up to Justin) Zooo. J: *sniff* Did you hear all that? O: (nods) J: Ozz, you know me better than anybody else here. You know I’d never do anything like that, right? O: (vigorously shakes his head) (Makoto’s room) A: *sniff* I can’t believe I fell for it! That whole “nice-guy, knight-in-shining-armor” routine was just some con he put up so he could get into my pants! M: I never thought Justin could sink so low. A: Makoto, *sniff* go get all my stuff out of his room. I’m leaving tonight! (Justin’s room) J: I don’t know what happened. One second I’m kissing her and the next thing I know, she scars my face. I’m not sure what’s going on, Ozz. But I think I know how to stop it. (gets up, walks to the door) O: Zooo?! J: Out. I’m going to do something I should’ve done a long time ago. (walks downstairs and to the front door) O: (flies down and grabs Justin’s arm) Zoo! J: I appreciate you wanting to help, buddy. But I just need to be alone for a while. (leaves) O: (sadly) Zoooo. (slowly floats back up to Justin’s room, lies on the bed) Zooo. M: (walks in) O: Zoo? M: Ozz. Where’s Justin? O: (points out the window) M: Out, huh? Well, good riddens. (starts to gather Aisha’s stuff) You might as well contact him now and tell him that Aisha won’t be here when he gets back. O: ZOO!?! M: (still collecting Aisha’s things) O: (looks around rapidly in a “what do I do? what do I do?” fashion) M: (starts to leave) Still... I can’t help feeling sorry for him. He and Aisha could’ve been really happy, but he just made the wrong choice. ???: (sounding slightly garbled) Makoto. M: (stops) Huh? 0_0 ???: Makoto, listen to me. M: (turns around) Ozz? You can talk? O: Listen to me. Uhn! This is very hard to do. You and I both know Justin would never do anything like this. Something’s wrong. He just needs to find out. Whatever you do, don’t let Aisha leave. It’s not him. He... Eeeeeee! (collapses) M: OZZ! (drops Aisha’s stuff and runs over) Ozz, are you OK?! O: ........ (slowly opens his eyes half-way) Mmm. M: Ozz......... (nods) I will. O: (closes his eyes) M: Ozz is right. I said it myself. Justin would never rape a girl. But how can I convince Aisha? (Makoto’s room) A: (crying) M: (walks in) Aisha? A: (looks up) M: You know, it’s pretty late to be leaving. Maybe you should sleep here for the night. A: *sniff* What about Justin? M: He left. I guess he was just so disgusted with himself... he just needs some time alone. A: ........ M: (kneels down and puts her arm around Aisha) Aisha... does this really sound like something Justin would do? A: Nya? M: Think about it. All the kind words, the unselfish acts, the way he respected you, everything. Do you really think it was all a facade? The Justin you know, the Justin you love,.... he’d never try to rape you, would he? A: ........ M: I guess it’s not a very convincing argument, but my point is.... will you give him another chance? A: ......It is pretty late. I guess I could stay one more night. But I’m leaving first thing in the morning. M: OK. Well, Ozz, that’s the best I can do. Justin-san, you’d better have a damn good explanation when you get back.
