Scarlet is in the balcony when the doorbell rings. A little annoyed, she keeps her coffee mug aside and moves to open the door. It is a pizza delivery boy. Scarlet is confused. She hasn't ordered the thing, then who has ? Not to keep the guy waiting, she pays him off and closes the door behind him as he left.

Pressing down the parcel on the kitchen counter with anger, she pushes aside the door to Vermilion's room. She isn't inside. The laptop is lying half open in the dark room, and the blankets sprawled all over the bed untidily. A soft sound of a whisper from the bathroom announces Vermilion's presence there. Quietly tiptoeing across the room, she listens intently at what she was saying over the phone.

Vermilion is silent for a few seconds again, hoping to get the signal, it seems.
Then she suddenly speaks up, " Hello....Black ?"

Scarlet's heart sinks miles below. In a mixture of anger and frustration and hatred and love and annoyance, she hits the bathroom door with her fists and hits them again with more and more emotion, until she hears Vermilion howl from inside. She comes out, with her phone in her hand. Seeing Scarlet behaving such, she pushes her to the bed and jumps atop her. Before her sister can protest, she begins hitting her, everywhere, screaming at every blow, until bruises have started to form and Scarlet is in the verge of crying. She does not stop even then, she thrashes the phone in her face and aims a series of wild punches on her stomach, abdomen.

Scarlet doesn't stand the torture any longer. With all her strength, she pushes Vermilion off from her body. Vermilion falls down the edge of the bed. Before she can regain her balance, Scarlet gets up again and kicks Vermilion in her stomach. She croaks and wails. Another kick. Another one. Not this time. Vermilion grabs her sister by her leg and pulls her down to the tiles of the floor. Scarlet collapses, hitting her head badly against the wall. Throwing off another punch,she pins her sister down against the cold surface. Her eyes are mad. Her hair all over her face. She looks like a hurt animal.
"Why the fuck, did you call that guy ?", Scarlet's voice is raspy. "Because I'll do whatever I feel like.....whatever I want at any fucking point of time, you understand ?! Do you understand ??!", Vermilion bellows in a shriek. Bloodshot eyes, Scarlet is about to hit her again, but the doorbell rings yet again at that instant.

Scarlet has to get up and answer. Slapping her sister once again, she gets up and sprints out of the room. Vermilion lets out a cough. She attempts to get up, but her legs soon revolt and she ends up moaning loud in pain.

A trickle of liquid trails down from her forehead, which she realizes, to be raw blood.
