			Nathan's sister, ALEXIS, is at a large corner table, along with another pair of siblings: PERCY and MAYA. Some appetisers are on the table. Alexis and Percy are chatting. Maya is on her phone, and nibbling at some dumplings.

			Nathan plonks Fern down next to Maya and scoots in himself.

			PERCY
			Hey.

			Maya pokes Fern with a dumpling.

			MAYA
			She... okay?

			DARREN
			Ooo, food.

			Darren sits down and digs in.

	ALEXIS		ALEXIS
	(looking at Darren very disappointedly)		(looking at Darren very disappointedly)
	Really?		Really?

			DARREN
			They didn't seem to mind.

			ALEXIS
			They have class and abide by all their customers.

			DARREN
			Whatever that is.

			NATHAN
			Sounds expensive.

			YASA
			The opposite of you two, probably.

			Yasa also scoots in.

			Fern tentatively reaches out to poke an appetiser.

			Everyone watches her intently.

			She pokes it, and withdraws the arm.

			Maya skewers it on a fork and jabs it at Fern's face.

			MAYA
			You eat it.

			Fern stares at it blankly.

			MAYA
			Shove it in your face. Like this.

			Maya demonstrates shoving the food in her own face, then skewers another one and hands the fork to Fern.

			Fern stares at the skewered food for a bit, and then starts nibbling on it.

			NATHAN
			So what exactly do we think is wrong with her?

			ALEXIS
			(shaking her head)
			She can still speak, and seems to remember who you are?

			NATHAN
			Sort of?

			YASA
			It's like she's forgotten how to live. To be alive. She knows, but she's... forgotten.

			ALEXIS
			Stroke? But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

			DARREN
			Why not? Can't aliens have strokes?

			ALEXIS
			I don't know. I'm a psychologist, not a doctor, and even if I were I don't think that'd really be my...
			My only other guess might be some sort of PTSD, but if that's really the case, without some idea of what caused it, we'll never be able to properly address it or avoid potentially making it worse.

			PERCY
			So what do we do?

			FERN
			Play.

			Everyone just stops and stares at her, aside from Darren, who mumbles something about squirrels. Nathan smacks him.

			FERN
			We play the game. That's why you were looking for me, right? So that's what we'll do.

			NATHAN
			Er, are you sure? Are you up for that? There's a lot that goes into running a game, let alone a good one...

			FERN
			To bring a broken soul back from the abyss, you remind it what it is to live. You immerse it in the day to day, and slowly, it relearns how to function. That's the theory, anyway. I think... I think I just need to remember. May I borrow your sofa?

			ALEXIS
			Of course. Whatever you need.

			FERN
			I think we all have a very long way to go.
