Emma enters in the room and sees that her journalist friend, is not fine.

E : Hey Claudie-Anne/friend! How are you (doing) ? *Putting her stuff on a chair.

Claudie-Anne is sitting on a chair and thinking with a sad face* (Worried) Are you okay? C-A : What?! Oh yes, I am okay...

I was thinking about something.

E : It doesn't seem...

(Tidying the table) What are you thinking about? C-A: Do you remember the tsunami in Asia in 2004.

About ten years ago I lost my cousin in this catastrophe.

.....

But why are you moving so much? E : Because it was a bit messy and I have ordered pizzas, it will relax you to eat something, I think.

C-A : Thanks but can you, please, stop moving for few minutes? E : Yes, i'm sitting right now.

(sitting) C-A : I have some family who survived.

I contacted them a few days ago.

They explained me it was difficult with unemployement and tourism became vulnerable because tourists were afraid .

Now, the landscape almost looks as before the catastrophe except they are missing a lot of important people for them.

People who were loved by them..

E : I am so sorry...

And you know what?! C-A : No?!!....

L : Hello! I have pizzas for Emma! C-A: Yes she is right there.

L : Oh gosh! Each time, I talk about that I am so sad....

C-A : Why? L: Can I come?! And I will explain you.

E: Hum...

Yes if you want! (watching C-A in her back) She doen't seem nasty! C-A : Okay...

(Sitting around the table) L : I am always sad when we talk about a catastrophe because it reminds me the tsunami in 2004 where I lost a friend.

He/She was on holidays.... »
