Vinola: So?
Nygaard: So what?
Vinola: Won’t you start connex...
Isabel shuts up, having stared into Nygaard's eyes. Hesitates, then removes her hand off his. Gets up, running hands over hair.
Vinola: Better ask her.
Nygaard: Your call. She is going to cry, you know. Should you wish to comfort her, don’t be shy. Promise not to go near her place the next 15 minutes.
