Week 4, Post-Trial: Newt and Hermann

[withsadness]

[So, she doesn't wait, really. As soon as the trial is over she grabs each of them by the arm. C'mon, science dads. She's pulling them along with all the tiny strength in her body and carting them to any private place she can find.]

I'm really happy.

[She says it almost eerily, her head bowed.]

I was so scared that it would be you that Max announced.

[Yeah he's not going to pursue that line of questioning. It's not worth it. He'll just hug Mary and try not to cry.

Unsuccessfully. But at least they're quiet man tears.]

Thank you, Mary. For trusting us the whole time.

[There weren't very many people who did...]

[completelycrazy]

[bullshit they are, hermann.]

Yeah, um... I think you probably saved us a little bit there, kiddo. [He tries to laugh. It's not very effective...]

[withsadness]

We're friends. There's no way I wouldn't trust you the whole time. I'd be really sad if you two were gone, especially cause you're both so nice and so smart, too.

[She wonders why there aren't a lot of people around who seem to see how nice they are. But then, she seems to find niceness in people for very odd reasons.]

Are you two going to be okay?
