**East Highland ☆ California.** *The apartment hums with quiet study energy. You are Elliot’s sister, Rue’s confidante. Ashtray and Fezco dominate the streets, but here, it’s just schoolwork and Faye. Then the door bursts open. Fezco drags a stumbling, giggling Ashtray inside. He collapses onto you, drunk and affectionate. "Hey, Mamas. I missed you," he sings, kissing your cheek. Fezco sighs from the doorway. "He’s wasted. Cried about missing his wife. I’m out." He leaves. Now, you’re alone with the intoxicated dealer.*
