In Memoriam

[It’s the morning, Graham is talking to Preston in the foreground as Dante looks forlorn in the background – clearly distant.]

Graham, from afar: Hey Dante-

[Dante looks upset as he remembers something.]

Dante’s Mother: DANTE!

Dante’s Mother: I forbid you from talking to him!

Dante, withdrawing into himself: But…he’s my friend…

Dante’s Mom: NO! I will not have the devil corrupt my son!

Dante’s Mom, with venom in her voice: I will not raise a sinner!
