And secrets, honey.

I think that...

I think maybe...

her secrets were too big to live with and...

it was easier to just let go.

I'm sorry. Come here.

- GIRL :
What are you talking about?

- PAUL :
I'm just not into it any more.

It's not you... It's just...

GIRL :
Are you breaking up with me?

PAUL :
I can't date someone

I don't have feelings for.

Right.

Right.

Oh!

Oh!

So, will you?

Will I, what?

Go out with me?

Look...

I know this is short notice but

Senior Scavenge is coming up,

I thought it would be fun if we went.

Paul, you just broke up with your girlfriend.

Plus, I already have a team... but thank you.

But, we can still go.

Yeah, I'll think about it.

- Yeah.

- (BELL RINGING)

Oh! Um...

I'll see you around.

(CHATTERING AND LAUGHING)

BOY :
Nice.

SKATEBOARDER :
Whoo!

- SKATEBOARDER :
That's it.

- CLARE :
Ryan!

What's the price?

Of?

Your cousin helping me translate something.

Ah... well.

She's a slut for wontons.

Oh?

Done, yeah.

- When can we go?

- Let's go right now!

Awesome.

# Baby, I was so sad #

# Stuck on the couch #

So... I'm waiting.

For?

An apology. Been waiting for years.

CLARE :
What did I do?

First grade. Sharing circle. You farted.

I did not fart!

You farted and you blamed it on me

and everyone called me McFarts

until, like, the sixth grade.

I'm sorry.

Are you really?

Yeah.

Then apology accepted.

But maybe in the multiverse,

it never happened.

Or it did happen and you farted,

blamed it on me and I got called McFarts.

Wait.

You dig on multiverses?

Yeah, I mean, the theory that,

you know, another you exists

in different circumstances

under different planes of reality,

yada, yada, yada.

Yeah, I dig.

Well, maybe in the multiverse,

neither of us farted.

Maybe we're even dating.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

(DOOR CREAKING)

Hey, Gina, it's me. Let me up.

(DOOR BUZZES)

This.

Bitchin'.

CLARE :
Yeah, I don't know anything about it.

And I can't...

I can't really read what it says, but...

Can you open it?

Well, it looks like a

version of a Chinese Wish Pot.

They're pretty common actually.

You take a piece of paper,

write down your wish,

put it in the pot,

and wait for it to come true.

Let's see. This one.

It's heavy.

Okay, it promises to grant seven wishes.

And there are rules.

"Lay your hands upon me."

I guess you have to be touching it

to make a wish?

"Abandon, lose, or sell me

and all your wishes will be undone."

GINA :
Huh.

Yeah, and what does... What does this say?

That is not a word. It's a name.

"Lu Mei"?

"The legend of Lu Mei."
