ALANA: Hey, stop typing for a minute. Just notice this moment. Alana sitting on the bike trail. Maria, writing all of this stuff on the back of a sheet that you took from an installation designed by a person who made art when she was manic about a boy she imagined who left his room twenty years ago and never came back.
