The guy remembers what happened yesterday at the girls' place, his face engulfing an expression of shock.
Calista sits the man down on the couch, noticing that he's not fully awake yet as he tries to gather himself.
The man shakes his head no in denial, dismissing what occurred yesterday and anticipating to speak with his friend Todd playfully, though he's actually talking to Calista.
Guy
Line 19) Hey Todd! Guess what?
Calista looks at the man in confusion.
He lets out a nervous chuckle.
She tries to interject to clarify his misunderstanding, but he interrupts her.
A tone of mockery accompanies the man as he explains himself, thinking his elaboration is stupid.
Guy
Line 20) I had a dream that I traveled to the future and met some witches.
The guy rubs his head and eyes in exhaustion, laughing at his remark in a slightly maniacal manner.
Calista rubs her head in distress, feeling concerned about the man's behavior.
Line 21) Calista's inner thoughts: It's official. We've driven him over the edge.
The guy speaks in a tone of relief, smiling happily.
Guy
Line 22) It seemed so real. You have no idea how relieved I am to be at your place.
After finishing rubbing his eyes and gaining back his clear vision, that man looks around his surroundings, getting hit with the realization that he doesn't recognize where he is.
His heart drops to his stomach in panic.
Line 23) Guy's inner thoughts: Th-this isn't Todd's place!
The man glances at who he thinks is his friend Todd but gazes into Calista's eyes instead, his eyebrows slanting in denial.
He questions her in shock, an expression of immense disbelief apparent on his face.
Guy
Line 24) N-no... You're that girl from yesterday. It w-wasn't a dream?
Calista shakes her head no hesitantly, feeling upset about breaking the bad news to the man.
The guy stands up frantically, moving away from Calista precautiously.
He speaks at her in fear.
Guy
Line 25) Why didn't you say anything to me before?! You got my hopes up!
Calista answers sympathetically, feeling bad for the man.
Calista
Line 26) I tried to, but you cut me off. So, I just let you finish speaking. I'm sorry.
The man observes Calista's attire (bathrobe), speaking at her offendedly.
