Lani, Ísja, and Num continue walking through the desert.

LANI: And this nené person is...?

Ísja smiles over at her.

ÍSJA: Oh! Well, Nené just means dad.

Num's arms are crossed. He glowers.

NUM: Nen is dad. Not nené.

NUM: Only kids say "nené". You know that.

Ísja looks sad. He clutches the journal to his chest.

ÍSJA: ...Right.

Ísja looks down at the journal.

ÍSJA: This journal's, um. His. So I trust it.

Lani looks over at Ísja, concerned.

ÍSJA: He used to travel a lot and Firan was one of his favorite places.

LANI: Are you... close with him?

Ísja manages a smile up at Lani.

ÍSJA: ...Sorta, I guess.

Num narrows his eyes at Ísja.

ÍSJA: It's complicated.
