People Start Coming Together

Linda was busy rubbing John's back while Zoe scrolled through John's phone. Zoe text Karyn, "John bonded with Aiko! Come over please? He's-" backspaaaace "-she's freaking out and I'm trying to get in touch with Aiko. -Zoe" Karyn's reply came almost immediately. "brt!". Karyn barged into the Gibson kitchen through the side garden door. If it had been locked it would not have significantly slowed her down... she has her own key for that door. "Oh God, John? You- you're Asian! And, Aiko is going back home soon! I might lose my best friend forever!" Karyn collapsed to her knees and sobbed into John's lap. Linda gave the ceiling a 'This is just what I needed right now' look. Meanwhile, in another room Zoe is on the phone with Aiko. "Aiko? This is Zoe, John's younger sister. He came down with SSTRS and we thought he'd bond with me or his friend Karyn or mom but, uh, well, you can guess why I am calling you. We found a few strands of your hair in his room and he bonded with them. A very attractive copy of you is sobbing in the kitchen right now. Can you come over?"
