Sara arrives soaked and worried because she came for Mr. Cooke and an injured Kyle. Noe, already in the room, watches as Sara fusses over Kyle; Kyle refuses water and steps outside for air. Noe teases that leaving is an excuse and pressures Sara to declare who she loves. Under pressure, Sara confesses, "I love you" to Kyle and the two exchange vows of fidelity. The mood flips when Noe snaps that Sara is a liar and someone offstage calls out, leaving the lovers' promise hanging.
