MAEVE

ALEX Why aren ' t they wearing a mask ? They have to . This is what we do at this school . We hide and hide and hide because that ' s the only thing we can do to make our life better ! I can ' t do it anymore . Maybe they ' re happy . No , no , I ' m fine . I ' ll be fine . As long as I stay happy . As long as I stay in the green zone .

MAEVE I know how it feels , wearing it . You feel protected and safe from everything . It covers up your scars , and it ' s amazing .
