Sei and Mira are still in the lab. Sei is looking at the chemical structure of the Elixir.

SEI: I don't get it. I know I'm not the best at chemestry but still why is it-

He turns to Mira. She feel asleep on the table. Sei smiles.

SEI: Common enough working for today.

He picks her up and takes her to her room. He puts her in bed and goes outside and quietly closes the door. He sees Akane walking towords him.

AKANE: Sei I need to show you something.

Before Sei could say anything she grabs his arm and takes him to the training room. Sei looks at the hole in the wall.

SEI: You did this?

Akane looks at her hands.

AKANE: I think?

SEI: You don't remember?

AKANE: Bearly. It's like the more I use it the more I can't remember using it. I wanted to figure out if it's connected to me falling in Lake of Elixir.

SEI: Well is it?

AKANE: That's the weird thing

She takes the bottle out of the pocket.

AKANE: I didn't even used it.

Sei says nothing. He's just looking at her.

SEI: Do you want to try it?

AKANE: What?! N-no you I don't know what may happen?

She points at the hole

AKANE: Maybe it'll be worse than this. I could hurt you.

Sei blushes and then Akane blushes to.

AKANE: I-I mean I-

SEI: It's okay. But I agree I think it's not the best idea to do this. Right now me and Mira were analyzing the water.

AKANE: Did you found anything?

SEI: Nothing that we know of. It's too complicated for us.

AKANE: Yeah, I figured so.

SEI: You look tired.

AKANE: I'm okay.

SEI: Are you?

She snaps him an angry look.

AKANE: Yes.

He just looks at her for a second.

SEI: Nah you're lying.

AKANE: I am not!

Sei laughs.

AKANE: Ughh you're annoying.

SEI: I know.

Akane looks at him again. And then smiles. She bursts out a little laugh.

SEI: Yes I got you to laugh!

AKANE: I did not laugh

She giggles again.

AKANE: Forget it.

She turns around.

AKANE: Goodnight.

Sei is still smiling.

SEI: Goodnight.

Akane is walking towords her house. She's still smiling a little and she doesn't seem to know how to stop smiling.

AKANE: What the fuck is this feeling?
