BEASTARS MINI-STORY #3: “The Pitfalls of Thin Walls pt. 2” by JCL

TEXT: ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE SEBUN COMES HOME We see Legosi and Haru walking together through the corridor towards Legosi's apartment in the hidden condo. HARU: "I am glad to hear that you finally got your teeth fixed." Legosi puts a finger in his mouth and adjusts his dentures. LEGOSI: "Well my boss was quite sympathetic, so he agreed to giving me an advance so that I could pay for them." HARU: "You know, you never told me, how did you break them in the first place?" Legosi looks emberassed. LEGOSI: "I bit down too hard on a lolipop..." Haru looks both amused and a little disturbed as she imagines Legosi, a big and scary-looking wolf, eating a lolipop. HARU: "A... Lolipop?" (I would've liked to see that...!) It is then that Legosi notices something offscreen. LEGOSI: "Oh, Mugi-san." It is Mugi, one of Legosi's neighbors. MUGI: "Good morning you two. Hanging out today?" LEGOSI: "Yes... And speaking of which, thank you again." MUGI: "You're welcome! Just remember to wash the stuff thoroughly before returning it. And make sure to use your hands, no machinewash!" LEGOSI: "Of course!" Mugi laughs a little to himself as he walks past them. Haru gives Legosi a questoning look. HARU: "What was that about?" LEGOSI: "Oh he just leant me some stuff..." Mugi suddenly stops as he notices that Sebun's door is open. MUGI: "Hm?" --- We are now in Legosi's apartment, which is much better-looking than it has been before. The walls are repainted, there's some new furniture (including a kotatsu and a tiny tv), a potted plant next to the stove and a small table with a terrarium on it. HARU: "Hooo... I see that you've really cleaned this place up, huh?" LEGOSI: "Yeah I had some help with that. Jack and the guys from the drama club also helped me hustle up some old furniture for a fair price." Haru takes a closer look at terrarium in the window, spotting a rhinoceros beetle in it. HARU: "They even got you this little guy to keep you company?" LEGOSI: "Uh no, my grandpa gave him to me as a house-warming present." HARU: "Your grandpa huh?" She then notices the potted plant next to the stove. It's a little violet flower with six petals and green leaves. She instantly becomes intrigued by it. HARU: "A midnicampum holicithias! And a very healthy-looking specimen at that! To think that such a pretty little baby can be so poisonous...!" Legosi scratches his head. LEGOSI: "Well, I figured it could help to get rid of the smell." Haru turns to Legosi and looks confused. HARU: "Smell?" LEGOSI: "Well, you did say it smelt kind of funny last time you were here, right?" HARU: "Oh right... I did say that, didn't I?" She proceeds to close her eyes takes a deep whiff of the air in the apartment; her nose moving up and down in a typical lagomorphic fashion. HARU: "It does smell different, that's true. But it's not just the flower, it also smells kind of like..." She suddenly looks confounded. HARU: "... Fried noodles?" Legosi sneaks over to the other side of the stove, which is covered by a large towel. He removes the towel and reveals a wok full of food. LEGOSI: "Surprise." Haru looks surprised and walks over, looking over the big meal. HARU: "You've made yakisoba?" -- We see a flashback, as Legosi thinks back to when his grandfather Gosha helped him renovate the apartment. As they are repainting the wall, he gives him a bit of advice: GOSHA: "Cook her something. Your grandmother used to love when I surprised her with a meal." -- LEGOSI: "M-hm." Legosi blushes and stands up straight, almost like he is a private standing in front of a military commander during an inspection. LEGOSI: "I uh... Figured it would be nice, you know, to make you something sometime!" (Thank God that Mugi had some cookware that I could borrow) Haru looks at Legosi, cocks an eyebrow and gives off a little smile. HARU: "You weirdo, you didn't have to do that." LEGOSI: "But I wanted to." Haru giggles. HARU: "Well... It would be rude to say no, and it does smell good. So why don't we dig in?" Legosi looks excited and proceeds to turn on the stove. LEGOSI: "Okay, I'll just reheat it then!" -- TEXT: ABOUT 55 MINUTES BEFORE SEBUN COMES HOME We are now out in the hall. Fina and Raika has arrived outside by the door to Sebun's apartment and are met by Mugi, who is standing next to it. MUGI: "It looks like Sebun left the door open when she left an hour ago. I am just watching it for her till she's back. I tried to call her on her cell, but I heard it ringing from inside too." RAIKA: "She must've been really stressed about something to forget both her phone as well as leave the door open." FINA: "Do you think it'd be okay if we went in and returned this though? We've had it for a while." Raika holds up a DVD-copy of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle (2004). Mugi pushes the open apartment-door in. MUGI: "I think that should be fine." The three proceed to walk in. Raika places the DVD on a nearby deskcounter. Fina seems to detect something in the air though. FINA: "Did she leave something cooking? I smell fried noodles." MUGI: "That's probably from Legosi's place. He's cooked a sweet little meal for his girlfriend." Fina smiles at this. FINA: "Aww isn't that nice? Girls like little gestures like that." Raika gives Fina a skeptical look. RAIKA: "But you hate when I cook for you..." A vein of annoyance appears on Fina's head. FINA: "Because you always make the portions too big, so I have to throw most of it away. Besides, I am not a little girl, I am a grownass woman, so I can make my own meals." RAIKA: "I never said you couldn't, I just wanted to-" An argument is about to erupt between the two, but both stop to stare at Mugi, who is pressing his ear against the left wall of the apartment. FINA: "What are you doing?" Mugi meet their odd looks with an awkward expression. MUGI: "I was just a little curious... I mean, aren't you?" Raika and Fina stare at Mugi, and then they share a look that seems to imply a reluctant 'yes'. -- TEXT: ABOUT 50 MINUTES BEFORE SEBUN COMES HOME Legosi and Haru are sitting down by the kotatsu; a bowl of yakisoba each in front of them. Both hold a pair of chopsticks and clap their hands together. LEGOSI & HARU: "Itadakimasu!" The two proceed to eat... Or rather, Haru proceeds to eat, while Legosi stares at her in nervous anticipation. Haru chews her first bite carefully. She soon notices Legosi's stare though. Sensing that he is awaiting her response, she swallows. HARU: "It's good." Legosi wags his tail. LEGOSI: "Really?" HARU: "Yes. The freshness of the carrot shavings really add alot, and it's not too spicy either. You've made yakisoba before?" LEGOSI: "Well, yes. I used to make it a lot with my grandpa. Though this is the first time I¨ve made it completely vegan." HARU: "Yum!" -- Meanwhile, we see that Mugi, Fina and Raika are listening in on them next door. Mugi and Raika is using a glass each while Fina is pressing her ear against the side of Raika's while she is leaning over from the back of his hand. MUGI: "Sounds like it's going well so far." Raika looks a little bored though. RAIKA: "Yeah. not a lot of action yet though. Come on, throw us something saucy!" Raika places a finger across her lips and shushes him. -- Legosi and Haru is continues with their meal, as Haru suddenly states: HARU: "You know, you've never mentioned your family up until now. What are they like?" Legosi swallows heavily at this and looks a bit uncomfortable. LEGOSI: "Welll... I uh... I haven't really talked about them, cause I didn't find an opportune moment." Haru blinks. She finds the word ´opportune´ an odd choice of words in regards to ones family; like a it was a bad subject or something. HARU: "Why? Don't you get along?" Legosi looks like he's struggling to find the right words. LEGOSI: "We've had issues. I was kind of angry at my grandpa for a long time, so I didn't talk to him much after I started at Cherryton. We just recently re-connected..." Haru looks a little regretful for bringing this up. HARU: "Oh." (Damn, I must have touched a sensitive subject... I better change it) "What about your parents?" Legosi looks even more uncomfortable; bordering on depressed. Haru detects the negative vibe and bites down on her lip. HARU: (Oh no, wrong move...!) -- In Sebun's apartment, the trio keep on listening. RAIKA: "Poor guy, sounds like he's got some baggage there." MUGI: "Maybe they don't approve of their relationship?" RAIKA: "That would make sense. I mean mine and Fina's doesn't approve of ours." Fina gives Raika an unamused look. FINA: "I think theirs is a vastly different situation from our own. I mean they're a couple, and we ain't!" Raika replies with a sassy tone. RAIKA: "Well who's fault is that?" Fina looks annoyed as hell in response. FINA: "Who's fau- Scale and proportion ought to be the main culprits!" EBISU: "Um..." The three look at the door, which has now been opened. In the doorway stands Bogue, Ebisu, Eugen and Zaguan. They stare at the trio while each holding a DVD-copy of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. ZAGUAN: "..." The trio stares back. RAIKA: "... Sup?" TEXT: ABOUT 45 MINUTES BEFORE SEBUN COMES HOME -- HARU: "I am sorry, I didn't mean to open old wounds or anything..." Legosi looks sad. LEGOSI: "No, no, it's just... Well, the reason I haven't really talked about my family a lot is because, well, there's a lot to unfold. And a lot of it is not pleasant." HARU: *HIC!* Legosi looks surprised, as do Haru, who covers her mouth with one hand. HARU: (What the...?) "Sorry, I have no idea where that came from." She gives Legosi a reassuring look. HARU: "Look, if you want to talk about it, I am all ears. But if you don't want to right now, you don't *HIC!*" She covers her mouth with both hands this time, seriously surprised now. Legosi gets up. LEGOSI: "I'll get you something to drink." As Legosi takes a glass, goes over to the sink and begins to fill it with tapwater. Haru begins to lean over the table, her hands covering her face, like she is feeling sick or something. HARU: "I feel kind of funny...!" When Legosi sees this, he hurries over, places the glass of water on the kotatsu and puts a hand on her back. He looks concerned. LEGOSI: "Haru? Are you alright?" Haru begins to mumble something without looking up. HARU: "Flower..." LEGOSI: "Flower?" Legosi suddenly recalls a recent memory: Haru examining the potted plant. FLASHBACK-HARU: "A very healthy-looking specimen at that! To think that such a pretty little baby can be so poisonous...!" As this flashes through his memory, he also recalls chopping vegetables for the yakisoba, next to the potted plant. LEGOSI: (No, it couldn't have...) His thoughts begins to manifest into the worst possible scenario; like seeds or petals falling off the poisonous flower and getting mixed up with the hacked vegetables. He then proceeds to imagine Haru taking her first bite of the yakisoba. TEXT: POISONOUS We see a zoom-in of this bite, with Legosi's imagination envisioning a dark aura and skulls and bones dancing across it. LEGOSI: (NO!) Legosi grabs a hold of Haru with a scared to death-looking face, while Haru groggily mumbles. HARU: "Flower... A flower..." LEGOSI: "Don't worry Haru! You'll be alright, I'll call an ambulance! I'll-" Haru looks up. Her face is deep-red and sporting a silly grin. HARU: "If we have a daughter *HIC!* We should name her after a flower! Tee-hee...!" Legosi looks surprised. LEGOSI: "Huh?"
