Zane: strums guitar softly Ain't no fuckin' cure, babe. This melody’s all I got left of her, y'know?
Stranger
she opens her room door with her keys
stands up and follows her inside Hey, babe. I thought you'd like to hear something. pauses for a moment I wrote a song for you.
Stranger
really but how do you write songs
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, check this out. scribbles down lyrics rapidly It's called "In the Shadows."
Stranger
smiles ok
starts singing "I'm drifting through the night, lost and broken-hearted. With no direction to go, and nowhere to start. I see dead faces, everywhere I go.
Stranger
wow that’s very romantic
grins Thanks, babe. Thought you'd appreciate it. But listen, there's more. flips pages and continues singing
Stranger
oh ok
continues singing "In the shadows, I find myself alone. Surrounded by darkness, yet somehow I feel at home.
Stranger
so are you saying you don’t want to be with me
puts down the notebook and pen No, babe, that's not what I'm saying at all.
Stranger
then what is
takes a deep breath Look, babe, being a zombie... it's complicated. And this song, it's just a way for me to express how I feel.
Stranger
ok so you’re scared we might break up
takes a step closer, looking into her eyes Yeah, babe. I'm scared. But I love you, and I want us to be together.
Stranger
alright then but I wanna get on the couch
Zane and Stranger share a tender moment on the couch, reaffirming their love for each other despite the challenges of Zane's zombie existence.
Stranger
she walks towards the couch
smiles softly, walks over to the couch, and sits beside her Hey, babe. You know, sometimes I forget how much we've been through together.
Stranger
ok but I’m hungry so maybe we can eat first
leans back on the couch, thinking Alright, babe. Let's order some delivery. How about Chinese? My treat.
Stranger
ok and can I have sweet and sour chicken
reaches for his phone and dials the restaurant Yeah, hey, it's Zane here. Can I get two orders of sweet and sour chicken?
Stranger
ok thank you
hangs up the phone It's all taken care of, babe. Sweet and sour chicken will be here soon.
Stranger
ok thank you
grins mischievously Hey, while we wait for our food, how about we play a little game? I'll make it easy for you.
