Deep in the night between Day 1 and Day 2 Ronald and Marya meet in the hall of the cottage, in front of the fireplace. Drugs! Sex! Drama!
Marya P.: Professor Blindside
Ronald: Federico Perenti
Ronald Rizzato looks at the fireplace, still there seems to be enough wood. The room is warm but the sight is enough to give him the shivers. Wind is hitting the mountains hard, and he thinks about the car. The shape of the thing that made him steer, what kind of animal could that have been? Anyway he could not bring himself to sleep. The house was quiet, and he kept the radio at the lowest volume. He thinks at the girls sleeping on the next floor. Perhaps he could masturbate or smoke a joint. Or both. That would make him sleep! He starts to rubs himself, closes his eyes, when he hears a noise. He stands quickly, thankful for the book in his hands, it's dark and she's seen nothing, has she? "Marya." his voice is sticky with fatigue. "Hey. can't sleep too?"Marya P. is midway through a yawn as she hears Ronald's voice and breaks off abruptly, a little surprised to hear anyone else awake. She walks over and leans an arm on the couch, keeping her tired tone relatively low to avoid waking Wren. "Yeah...just a little jumpy still, you know?" She leans to look over Ronald's shoulder at the book, her dark hair brushing his cheek. "What'cha reading?"
Ronald Rizzato flips over the cover of the book. "Oh, nothing." He takes a deep breath, the knot in his pants untying. He looks at the words in the dim light. Upside down. He turns the book the right way, then steps to her and passes it in her hands. "Norvegian Wood. Murakami. It makes me sleep, I've read it many times. But this time," he walks on to the kitchen, talk without looking at her. "this time it does not seem up to the task. I'm sure you need a glass of water." He says filling one for her. "Have you looked outside. The wind makes me shiver. I haven't even been able to take my jacket off." The glass is in her hands and he sits by the fire.
