Where the Heart Is

Num puts a hand on his hip defiantly.

NUM: Maybe people haven't been trying to get out hard enough.

LANI: Excuse me?

LANI: HA! Please. If people could get through it on foot, they'd have done it by now. Maybe this place would be less of a hellhole, then.

Num glares up at Lani while Ísja looks a bit worried.

NUM: Well–

ÍSJA: You're right. We're not from Noarata.

Num looks at Ísja as he continues to speak.

ÍSJA: We used a Pocket to get here.

He pauses to think, then continues. Lani's irritation has faded.

ÍSJA: Do you know what a Pocket is?

ÍSJA: It's this big, glowy portal thing that connects the planes together.

He spreads his arms out for emphasis with a big smile on his face. There's a small diagram featuring a piece of land with Lani's face on it and a piece of land with Ísja and Num's faces on it. Arrows are connecting both of them to a blank place that looks grassy.

Lani pinches the bridge of her nose.

LANI: The planes?

ÍSJA: You know! Kinda like countries.

He puts his hand to his chin pensively and looks away.

ÍSJA: Or continents?

He clasps his hands together, still not making eye contact.

ÍSJA: But not really. It's hard to explain.

Lani stares at the boys. The boys stare back.

NARRATION, ECHOING: A portal... and planes...

Lani scoffs.

LANI: Do you think I'm stupid?

(Num voice): Skill issue.
