But you were going to leave me. I saw you. Layla called and you were going to go with her.

VIOLETTA
But I didn’t!

HAL
Why not?

VIOLETTA
Because Ruby didn’t leave me.

HAL
Ruby sounds like she’d be a better captain than Layla.

VIOLETTA
Layla never wanted to be captain! She didn’t want to be but…when…Ruby was going to be captain but she was sick she was so sick and she uhh and she…

Violetta tries to bottle her feelings but they’re leaking out

HAL
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to…Do you umm do you want to talk about Ruby?

Violetta nods her head

HAL
Ok, tell me about her.
