(MAX): …Hi.
(SANDRA): Max, come in.
*
(MAX): Thank you for letting my friend come with me, I’m a bit nervous and-
(SANDRA): Don’t worry about it. Dais mentioned you might not come alone.
(MAX): Cool. Um-
(SANDRA): D’ya want a cuppa? Me mum’s got all sorts in her cupboard.
(MAX): Oh! English breakfast would be great if you’ve got it.
(SANDRA): Alright, [to Lena] Same for you?
(LENA): I’m okay thanks, is it cool if I sit out in the living room? Just to give you two some privacy.
(SANDRA): Go for it. Let me know if you need anything.

(SANDRA): So how do you want to do this? Do you have questions or do you want me to just start talking?
(MAX): Um, I guess I have questions? Like, Daisy said you were cellmates so was that for a long time or?
(SANDRA): I met your mum around seven years ago. Typically, when new inmates are inducted, we’re paired up with someone to show us the ropes. Your mum was that for me. I think when I got there she was a few years into her time.
(MAX): Right…and how was she? Was it…hard for her? I mean I know it’s hard for everyone but she asked me to stop visiting quite early on. She told my stepmum it was too much for her and I never got to- Sorry I’m rambling.
(SANDRA): Don’t apologise. Look, your mum and I rarely got into the deeper stuff. We looked out for each other and we tried to keep each other in good spirits. I do know that she loved you very much. She kept a picture of you by her bed, and I know that when she spoke to your stepmum, she asked after you. I don’t have kids myself, but having family visit you inside can be as painful as it is necessary. Not everyone can hack it.
