MATI
I'm here for the night shift. Anything special?
HELENA
No, but tomorrow the prophet is being released.
MATI
It's hard to avoid the news.
He approaches the painting, contemplating the "stranger" with a thoughtful expression. Helena looks up at Mati, their long-standing professional relationship filled with mutual respect. A brief silence ensues as Helena remains absorbed in a document she's typing on her computer.
MATI
So it's our alien?
Helena appears slightly surprised that Mati is still in her room.
HELENA
Yes, indeed, it's the alien himself.
MATI
Interesting… I understand you want to search for him.
