Three bands have played.
Drew watches
each for a few minutes before leaving the basement and following
Theresa down the street to sit in front of the town library. Repeat
times three. A friend, who would later gossip about one of your
biggest secrets to an Internet message board, observes your
continuing disappearance and reappearance. Theresa herself
disappears during the second library stop but reappears to catch up
when Drew is returning to the house the show is taking place at. While
she is gone, Drew tries to make small talk with someone selling
a fanzine but says something awkward and ridiculous, prompting said
person to exit the conversation and head back to the safety of the
basement.
Being a good diplomat gets
you a spot
in the hierarchy. An X on your hand, writing “slut” on your arm,
talk about the environment while sucking down another cigarette.
That'll show them! All of these roles need actors. They began
walking back to the show for band #5. Someone Drew would later find
out was behind some Online mockery of him walked by and smirked. Years
later, it is happening
again. Theresa took his hand and led
him back to the
van. She still had a lot to teach him.
