Jenn and her best friend, El,  are viewing each other through mirrors.

El: "No matter." What did you do?

Jenn: Kicked him out! I don't know how I'll be able to stay at that place but at least one problem is over.

El: Whatever you do. No matter "which way you go" I'll support you. 

Jenn: You need a roommate downtown? 

El: What am I going to do downtown? I like it desolate. 

Jenn: "No matter."

El:  Are you going to try to find a new place? 

Jenn: No, I'm going to try to find another job. Use some of these skills.

El: Well no matter what you do and "which way you stay" you're going to have to start. Are you going back to Max?

Jenn: Ew no. What are you thinking?

El: No. Not like that. "You're out of my mind!"

Jenn: Wait what?

El: I'm not trying to ask you out.

Jenn: I thought that was obvious but maybe it isn't?

El: "Out of my mind." No I mean out of your mind. I don't think about you.

Jenn: We're best friends. Only?

El: "Out of my mind." I haven't thought about you like that in years.

Jenn: Why didn't you ever say anything?

El: You're "out of my mind." Don't worry about it. Worry about Max and how he calls you to him all the time. 

Jenn: He likes the ghost effect.

El: "I was walking with [your] ghost."

Jenn: El, what is going on? 

El: "I said…" Actually forget it.

Jenn: "Please" tell me.

El: "Please don't insist." I didn't mean anything. Bye.

El disappears while Jenn is left confused.
