Louie: [still dazed and confused, slowly steps inside. He looks around the unfamiliar room, his eyes wide with a mixture of fear and curiosity.]
Nani: Here, have some water. You must be thirsty.
[Louie takes the glass of water, his hands trembling slightly. He takes a small sip, the cool liquid soothing his parched throat.]
Nani: [sits down beside him.] "I know this is a lot to take in," [he says gently.] "But you're safe now. I won't let anything happen to you."
[Louie looks at Nani, his eyes searching for reassurance. He sees a kindness in Nani's eyes, a genuine concern that makes him feel a little less alone.]
"Thank you," Louie whispers, his voice barely audible.
Nani [smiles] "You're welcome. Now, try to get some rest. You've been through a lot."

Podd: I can't believe you're so chill about this. Your dad is going to flip his lid!
Nani: Dad will never know, unless someone breaks their silence, Besides, I've got a plan.
Podd: A plan? What plan?
Nani: I already think about it earlier. I will keep the kid until someone takes him.
Podd: What?! Are you crazy?
Nani: I know what I'm doing. Just don't tell Dad
Podd: Don't Tell uncle? That you're taking care of a kid you found at a car crash? That you're lying to the police?
Nani: I'm not lying. I told them I was a family friend.
Podd: That's still a lie! And what about the kid? What are you going to tell him about his family?, that his family died?, what if he had trauma and forgot all of this
Nani: I don't know yet. But I'll figure something out.
Podd: This is a mess, Nani. You're getting yourself into serious trouble.
Nani: I know it's a risk, but I can't just leave him there. He needs help.
Podd: What if your dad take the kid and torture him or what
Nani: Then I'll deal with it. But I'm not going to let this kid suffer because I'm scared.
Podd: Okay, but if you need me, I'm here for you.
Nani: I know, Podd. Thanks.
Podd: No problem. Now, let's go check on Louie. He must be hungry.
