Imperfect Reborn

Tesori-male
Daphne-female
Small nondescript stage with entrances back left and right. There is a small hole, 4” x 4”, on the stage right side, not on the back, in the side.
Daphne enters with backpacking backpack looking around enthusiastically.
Daphne: I’m here!
I’m here!
I’m here!
More exploration. Enthusiasm begins to wane.
Daphne: (imploring an answer) I’m here.
I’m here.
I’m here?
No response. Removes backpack and sits down still searching for an answer.
Daphne: I’m here?
No response, sits protectively.
Daphne: (sadly) I’m here.
Pause
Noise from the hole.

Tesori appears.
Tesori: I’m here.
Daphne: (running to hole) I’m here, I’m here.
Tesori: I know.
Daphne: You should be here.
Tesori: I should.
Daphne: I miss you.
Tesori: You’ll live.
Pause
You’ll love it.
Daphne: I know.
Pause
I’ll try.
Goodbye
Tesori: Goodbye
