Aali Kali lies in her bed. She's browsing online on her laptop when she happens upon something interesting. Dovefucking? What the hell is DOVEFUCKING? she wonders aloud as she stares at the screen, clearly intrigued. Thinking for a moment, she types on her laptop. 'What is dovefucking?' she says slowly to herself as she types. Her eyes widen as she reads the results. She looks a little freaked out for a moment, but then her features soften as if to say 'this is weird, but I'm VERY interested.' She types something else on her laptop. 'Dovefucking porn,' she says to herself as she types another search. 'No results found,' she reads aloud from the screen. Zero results?? she says incredulously to herself, visibly frustrated. She sighs with disappointment, closes her laptop and turns out the light. The next morning, Aali is frustrated and unable to focus on anything but dovefucking. She invites her friend April ONeil over as a distraction.
