Marco walks into the corridor outside apartment 2B to try out the system. He knocks multiple times against the wood. Maya realizes what Marco is doing right away and tells him to quit banging on the entrance.

Marco steps back inside the apartment with a handful of gummy bears. He chews on his candy and claims that leaping from a second-story window counts as an urgent crisis while talking with Maya and Nick.

Maya boils water on the kitchen stove for pasta. Nick enters the kitchen wearing a clean white shirt. He wraps his arms around Maya from behind as an outside cat sits and stares from the metal fire escape.
