Alex's best friend appears at the door accompanied by his daughter. He is in a hurry, but tries to stay calm while he explains the situation.

—I owe you a huge one. It will only be a few hours. I know it's a lot to ask, but you are the only person I can leave her with in peace.

She stays close to him, watching Alex in silence while holding one of her favorite objects.

Her father says goodbye to her and assures her that he will return soon.

—Behave yourself, okay?

She nods.

The door closes.

For a few seconds, there is a strange silence in the house.

She looks at Alex.

—So… what are we doing?
