[ch. 2] post-trial, w/ monika

[asswipe]

[Everything's a mess and everyone needs some time to decompress, so Veronica doesn't go out looking for Monika immediately after Sandalphon is taken away. When she does, though, she lightly knocks on the wall to get her attention.]

Hey... [uh] Stupid question, but how are you feeling?

No, you're fine. If you want to see an example of causing too much trouble, you should take notes from Fitzgerald.

[And Sandalphon, but she feels bad bringing him up after everything. Dude's going to die tomorrow.]

... But calmer is good. I'm, um, sorry for pressing the issue [stripping] earlier.

[ That wins a faint laugh. ]

He's pretty interesting, isn't he?

[ you know. for whatever value "interesting" is worth.

Monika will shake her head. ]

Anyway, it's fine. You were doing what you needed to. That was actually the first time I've ever done the strip search... [ another laugh. ] But it was for the best. It was time I stopped hiding what I was doing to myself.
