	Kira ENTERS. She has a big, warm smile for Keiko;
	she's here to lift Keiko's spirits and reassure her
	that everything will be all right.

					KIRA
			Hi.

	Keiko musters a smile in return. Kira approaches and
	sits on a corner of the bed.

					KIRA
			How you feeling?

					KEIKO
			Like I was hit by a ten ton rock.
				(rallying herself)
			Julian says I'll be on my feet
			tomorrow. How are you?

					KIRA
			Fine.
				(twinkle in her eye)
			Though I think I've put on a
			little weight.

	Keiko smiles.

					KEIKO
			You carry it well.

	And though Keiko is smiling, her eyes go down to stare
	at Kira's abdomen and there is an undeniable sadness in
	those eyes.

					KEIKO
			You know... what you're doing for
			me... for us... I don't know how
			to thank you.

	Kira takes Keiko's hand in hers.
