INT. JANE'S KITCHEN - NIGHT Jane, a cheerful and well-meaning teenager, has prepared a delicious spread of non-vegan dishes. Enter Lux, a new girl in town, who is a bit reserved but open-minded. JANE (with a cheerful smile) Lux, welcome to my humble abode! I've prepared an amazing dinner for us! LUX (nervously) Thank you, Jane. That's really sweet of you. I should mention, though, that I'm actually vegan. JANE (slightly taken aback) Oh, really? I had no idea! I'm sorry, I just assumed... I hope this isn't a problem. I'll make it up to you, I promise! LUX (gently) No worries, Jane. I appreciate your effort, really. Don't worry about me too much, I'm not like those crazy vegans you might have heard of. Jane relaxes, realizing that Lux isn't offended and remains open-minded. JANE (relieved) I'm glad to hear that! Honestly, I've met a few of those, and well... they can be a lot. But I'm relieved you're not like that. Lux chuckles softly, appreciating Jane's honesty. LUX No, definitely not like that. I believe in making choices that feel right for myself, but I don't judge others for their decisions. Let's just say I do my best to be compassionate in my own way. Jane beams, instantly feeling a connection with Lux. JANE That's really cool, Lux. I have so much respect for that. And hey, I can whip up a vegan-friendly dish for you real quick! How about some delectable roasted veggies? Lux's eyes light up, appreciating Jane's sincerity. LUX That sounds perfect, Jane! I'd love to try your roasted veggies. Thank you for being understanding. Jane quickly starts preparing a vegan dish, happy to accommodate Lux's dietary choices. JANE Thank you for being understanding too, Lux. I'm really grateful I've got such an awesome new friend like you! They share a warm smile, ready to enjoy their meal together, appreciating their differences and finding common ground. FADE OUT.
