WOMAN But there’s…
WATCHER Exactly.
WOMAN But why?
FLAT OWNER You know.
WOMAN I don’t!
FLAT OWNER And who are you to know everything?
WOMAN Who am I? I was telling you that I have no clue…
WATCHER Once upon a time there was a girl, and then she vanished. Or did she exist at all?
Distant sound of an explosion
WOMAN Is it the neighbors? The fuse?

A sound of footsteps on the staircase. A thump, then more thumps gradually turning into the sound of applause.
