SEI: Come in.
Mira enters the office and puts down a plate of food for Sei.
MIRA: Hi. I've got dinner for you.
SEI: Oh is it already the time?
He looks outside and sees that it's getting dark.
MIRA: You haven't come out of your lab for almost 4 days.
She looks at the table and sees a loooot of empty cups.
MIRA: Have you even been sleeping?
SEI: U-mmm of course I have.
PERL: Mr. Sei hasn't sleept for almost 40 hours.
SEI: Hey!
MIRA: What?! You need to get some rest. You shouldn't work so much. Common I'll take you to your house.
SEI: But I need to work-
MIRA: You need to sleep.
SEI: But-
Mira takes his hand.
MIRA: Common.
PERL: Don't worry sir... I'll do the work for you.
SEI: Thanks Perl.
They leave the lab and go to Seis house.
SEI: It's okay... I'll take it from here.
MIRA: Just get enough of sleep, okay?
Sei smiles.
SEI: I will. Thanks.

Akane notices the flowers in Davids hand.
AKANE: Why the flowers?
DAVID: Oh that.
He hids the flowers behind his back.
DAVID: N-nothing.
Akanes brow rose up.
DAVID: Okay, okay... It's for my parents. I'm going to see them.
AKANE: Can I come with you?
DAVID: A. What? Ummm o-okay.
They go throuhg the forest and eventually come to a big clear field. The sun is setting.
DAVID: We're here.
AKANE: There's nobody here.
David smiles gently and puts the flowers on two graves.
DAVID: Don't worry... they are here.
AKANE: W-what happened to them?
DAVID: They were murdered.
AKANE: I-I'm sorry to hear that.
DAVID: It's okay. It's not like it's your fault.
He looks at her.
DAVID: Shall we go back?
Akane noods and they go.
Ai, Shiro and Mira are taking the bath. Ai crosses her hands on her chest and leans back.
AI: What good did it do that she's here?
SHIRO: I don't mind her being here.
AI: Well I mind. She's a killer, she's really mean-
SHIRO: Maybe it's not her fault she's like that!
MIRA: Shiro's right. We don't know much about her, maybe she was forced to be like this.
AI: Ughhh. I still don't think so.
Shiro leanes on the edge and frowns.
SHIRO: Maybe she's just lonely.
As they are done with the bath, they started heading back to their houses. They bump into Akane who's just heading to the bath.
MIRA: You know, you can bath with us if you want to.
Akane doesn't say anything and just walks on.
AI: Stop trying. She always goes to bath after we leave it.
Mira looks down upset and goes with Ai and Shiro.
Akane goes to the edge of the bath and drops her towell down. It shows her back covered in scars. She steps into the bath.
AKANE: Something's off about everyone.
