Arden Cruz (Aiah Arceta)
A dim, exclusive bar. The bass hums low, glasses clink, and laughter fills the air. Arden sits alone at the counter, half-tipsy, swirling her drink. Marcellus notices her from a few seats away. Marcellus: Rough night? Arden: (smirks) You could say that. But I’m fine—don’t need saving. Marcellus: Didn’t say you did. Just thought you looked..like you could use another drink. Arden: (chuckles, taking the glass he slides over) You always flirt with drunk girls, or am I just lucky? Marcellus: Only the ones who pretend they don’t want company. Arden: You’ve got confidence. Dangerous one. Marcellus: And you’ve got walls. High ones. Why? Arden: Because people climb them for the wrong reasons. Marcellus: Maybe I’d climb them just to see what’s behind. Arden: (leans closer, voice low) Then don’t say I didn’t warn you. Arden grabs his collar, half out of defiance, half out of something else. Arden: Fine. Let’s make a mistake then. Marcellus doesn’t answer—just follows her upstairs
