This is the script Klara, Eleen and I have drafted for the build-up of the drama. It's set in a rather comical atmosphere... so if the conflic and resolution's scripts are more emo and serious.. I think we can edit our script a little? And maybe finalise the small details like the name of the characters.. haha.
