Enter TROY from outside SR, caked from finger to elbow in flour. He’s disheveled and paranoid about being in public. In one arm, he cradles a bag of flour and a jumbo tub of hand sanitizer. With the other, he opens the door to the shop like he fears the knob might bite him.

TROY

NINA

He mimes something in his head
