After the movie was over, Kai appeared to deafening applause and gave a short speech, congratulating the director and the crew of the movie and then inviting them on the stage for a short Q&A.
Sunny stared at the director of this travesty, seriously considering silently assassinating him for a few moments. Then, he glanced at Effie, who — judging by her face — was thinking the same.
He lingered for a few moments, then asked:
"What do you want to do?"
The young woman inhaled deeply, turned to him, and smiled.
"...I am hungry. Let's go eat."
Together, they snuck out of the screening hall and went to find the theater's restaurant.
There were a lot of people there who, just like them, had decided to skip the PR portion of the event and were now enjoying food and drinks, discussing the movie with lively expressions. Sunny and Effie got themselves something to eat and sat at an empty table, then grew quiet for a while. Each was preoccupied with their own thoughts.
