Akiva's one-man loser party gets crashed

AKIVA: "Whatever. Tell dad I'm doing great, since he doesn't wanna hear it from me." She ends the call with a "BOOP" and a close-up on the phone screen. She sighs, eyes closed, then opens them with a grimace. She smooths her hair down and scrolls through her phone, texting her friend REMY. The text conversation reads: REMY: "I wanna hang out but i got hw for dayssss... and work is hell also" Thursday 10:45 PM: AKIVA: "its ok :(" "--ever busy tho..." "--ut it just hmu when u are free" Monday 10:20 PM: REMY: "Hey are u ok?? I heard u got arrested?? What happened? Your dad wont tell me" Today 6:17 PM: AKIVA: "hey uh... can u pick me up at state st CPD station?" Akiva looks up in surprise, suddenly sensing something. She sees the wispy form of a magenta life energy or soul nearby. She glares at it.
