EXT. TREE - DAY #29#

The two walk up to the tree. Below, still the circular formation of small stones and the pendant. Hannah picks it up again.

HANNAH

So what's your hunch?

JULIA

(motioning with her head)

Come.

The two walk further down the path behind a tree, where a similar formation of stones can be seen on the ground.

HANNAH

What is this?

JULIA

That... is for my sister.

HANNAH

Nathalie? Here? Why?

JULIA

I don't remember. I must've told a friend, because she told me later what I'd done. I figured I was grieving, that I was out of it, and when I went back a few weeks later, sure enough, I had made her a monument right here in this field.

HANNAH

Right next to my grandmother's? What are the odds of that?

JULIA

Here? In the middle of nowhere? Pretty much impossible. So maybe I just haven't put it there yet.

HANNAH

Wait, you didn't know about this until I just brought you here.

JULIA

I think this whole time thing is probably even more complicated than we thought.

HANNAH

(steeling herself)

So what's next?

JULIA

Next, previous...

HANNAH

Don't start.

They stand closer together.

HANNAH

He'll be waiting for us. We don't know what he'll do.

JULIA

Let him. Fuck him. You know what this right here means?

She takes a final look at the stones with affection.

JULIA

It means we get to find out.

The two of them stand over the stones. Grass bends in the wind around them. From high above, they’re small figures in the open field, the horizon stretching out in every direction.
