Friends doing Friend things like Talkin' bout Death

Akiva removes her jacket and flops onto the couch. AKIVA: "You're dating Dakota now? You can tell him I have no intention to beat him up again. I'm a lot less threatening these days." Remy emerges from the kitchen and tosses Akiva a Capri-Sun. REMY: "Well, your anger was pretty justified at the time. He knows that, now." Akiva holds up her strawed Capri-Sun. AKIVA: "Thanks for siding with your Evil Ex over Dreamboat Dakota." She starts drinking it. Remy sits in the pink chair. REMY: "I don't consider you my ex, I hate that word. You're just my best friend. Nonetheless, he's changed a lot. I don't think any of us are really the same people we were in high school." AKIVA: "I miss high school. Life was less complicated. Shit just flat out sucks now." REMY: "...Do you want to tell me what landed you in the police station? You don't have to if you don't want to." AKIVA: "I found a letter from my brother a few months ago." REMY: "Eli? Can't he just text you?" AKIVA: "Not that brother." Remy's face drops. REMY: "But Seth is-" AKIVA: "Yeah, I know he's dead. I think it was from before he died, but I'm not sure. The letter was... weird. It messed me up."
