Fan boy #1
“Assenders”…

CLOSE ON (FV) Fan boy #1’s face while be blinks.

…But the final volume of Duo ex Mania only came out like a month ago…that was fast.

WIDEN ON (SV) a group of four friends stand in line for autographs.

Oh come on! It’s been like that ever since they started publishing these books four years ago, it’s awesome!

POV – standing outside the line – looking at the people at the table ahead signing autographs, seeing the one at the end being a much older Jem.

(OS)
And can you BELIEVE he’s here right now signing autographs!?

CLOSE ON Jem smiling at one of his fans while he signs the inside cover of her manga.

CLOSE ON Fan boy #2 while he holds his chin and looks down a little.

Fan boy #2
Yeah…but I been thinking

Fan girl #1
Yeah? About what?

Fan boy #2
About Jeremy Bay…there’s been that endless rumors that he’s the one who has that “power” to do anything, and was the one who turned into an angel that saved the world six or so years go.

Yeaaaah we all heard that rumor, your point?

Well if he has that kind of power…who’s to say whether or not he’s using his power right now to make everything that’s happening in his life right now possible?

Fan boy #1
Ha-ha! You dwell WAY to far into your crazy theories sometimes.

Fan boy #2
Huh?

CLOSE ON Fan boy #1 while he looks at the manga in his hands.

Fan boy #1
If you ask me, I think that “power” is just an exaggeration of the idea that everyone has ability to do anything they want with their lives if they set their minds to it. And besides,

POV – Fan boy #1 – looking down at the Duo ex Mania manga in his hands.

(OS)
Even if he is using his power, should we really complain? After all he looks happier then ever, especially when he sees how much we appreciate his work, and he’s giving us something enjoyable to read.

CLOSE ON (FV) Fan boy #1 while he stares down at the book.

So if you ask me, I don’t have a problem with it either way.

Jem
Hey there!

Fan boy #1
Oh god Jeremy Bay! You have no idea how much of an inspiration you are to me!

Jem
Hehe, thanks, it’s always nice knowing I can help someone, even if it’s through my writing. So what would you like me to sign?

Fan boy #1
