More than a friend

When Minna wakes up after a night with Jonra in the ship, Max and Jonra are still sleeping, Jonra still lying next to her in the bed, and Max lying on the couch.
So Minna decides to go outside for a walk.

She still has some of the money left, which Max gave her the day before.
So she might also just bring some breakfast.
The bakery isn't that far and now she's quite confident to find back home on her own.

It's a nice, and sunny day, but it's still pretty cold outside.

When Minna comes back, something is off.
Jonra and Max are both awake.
They are relaxing in the bed together. And they are unusually close to each other.

Both of them look a little sweaty and messy.
And they seem a little exhausted.
Did they really...?

Max wouldn't have sex with her new friend, would he?
But when thinking about it, of course he would.

But would Jonra really just let Max have sex with her?
Would she really like it?
And would she really risk their newly found friendship for him?
But Minna already fears she knows the answer.

Minna puts the paper bag full of buns on the table.
She's a little sad. She was expecting a nice breakfast with her new close friend and her beloved Max.
But now she won't be able to enjoy it.

Morning. You already bought some breakfast I guess?

Minna nods and sits down at the table.
Jonra gets up and looks for dishes.

Let me help you. They should be here.

Even if this is just a normal behavior in this situation, Max helping Jonra makes Minna a little envious, considering what probably just happened.

So Max and Jonra set the table together.

You could have done that when I was gone.

You know we just got up, right?

Yeah, we really just got up.

Minna doesn't reply. She doesn't want to discuss this.

The two of them sit down, too, and they start eating.

Oh, and you also could just have woken me up to go with you.

Minna also eats a little, but most of the time she just watches them.
She isn't hallucinating, is she? They are very close.

Max asks Jonra very friendly to give her a bun, and Jonra gently gives it to him.
And to her it's obvious that once their hands are below the table, they secretly touch each other.

Minna is eating very slowly.
It seems to her like Max and Jonra look at each other all the time.
And soon everything gets pretty silent.

After a while, Jonra looks at Minna and has to giggle.

What? Never seen people eat breakfast before?

Minna stares at her almost untouched bun.
She doesn't really have appetite right now.

But Jonra is still enjoying the breakfast.

Sooo..., what's the plan today?

Not sure. Max, isn't it time to set off to another place?

Yeah, I've been here for long enough for now.

Oh, already?
It was so much fun.
Then... thanks for everything.

Yeah...
It was nice with you...

I'll miss you!

Minna wonders why he dares to say that in front of herself.

Hey, but maybe I could join you?
I think I can persuade my parents when I introduce the two of you to them.
An adult, who can take care of me, and a girl at my age, so it won't be weird.
Besides that, I'll have a mobile phone with me, so they won't have to worry.

That sounds great!

Uhm..., not really.

Let's try it. I'm sure it can work.

I just don't want it.

What's your problem? She's your friend, right?

Minna grips her bun so hard the jam drops onto her plate.

A long silence. Jonra looks at her own phone for distraction.

Finally, Minna stands up.

I'll get the ship ready right now.

Jonra stops smiling.

So that's it? You're really just... leaving?

Max leans back, watching them both.

I guess we are. That's just how it is when traveling around.

Jonra opens her mouth like she wants to argue, then sighs.

Well..., let me know if you ever come back.

She holds up her phone. Minna nods.

Then Jonra gets close to Max and whispers, loud enough for Minna to understand.

You'll call, right?

Max smiles back at her, but doesn't reply.

Soon Jonra leaves and they get ready to set off.
After a while they leave this place.
Jonra is still standing there, watching them as they go.
Minna starts to feel bad. Despite what happened, she had fun with Jonra. She still doesn't wave back.
