DAVID: It was me who murdered them!

Everyone is shooked.

TAGGI: David that's not true. You had too much to drink.

DAVID: It is true. I murdered them. I murdered them with my own hands!

Then someone knocks on the door.


Akane and Sei are walking around the building.

SEI: Where are you goning?

AKANE: I don't know...

Sei smiles and follows her. They're in the hallway with their labs.

SEI: If we are here I would like to show you something.

Akane follows him to Davids lab.

AKANE: Does David know?

SEI: Yes. He helped me with something. Come here.

They go into the Holodeck. She enters and the place turns into Vulmone. Akane looks around her eyes starting to tear up. She hasn't seen her home for almost a year.

SEI: I've been researching about your planet. I tried to replicate it as similar as possible. I hope it looks like Vulmone.

AKANE: It's almost like I am on Vulmone. Thank you.

Sei smiles.

SEI: You're welcome.

Akane looks around.

AKANE: It's such a shame that such a beautiful planet is full of horrible people.

Sei comes closer.

SEI: But you're not horrible.

Akane looks down at her hands.

AKANE: You don't know me...

Sei gently touches scars on her back.

SEI: Maybe I want to know you more.

Akane looks up and their eyes meet. Sei leans forward and Akane presses her lips to his.


Everyone is looking at the door.

MIRA: I'll get it.

She opens the door. A girl is standing in front of her, wet from rain and shaking.

GIRL: P-please help m-me...

She faints.


Mira, Ai, Shiro, Akane and Sei in the room with the girl who has woken up.

GIRL: Thank you.

MIRA: You're welcome. What's your name?

CELEANA: I'm Celeana.

AI: What happened?

CELEANA: I was in the city and someone was following me. I got scared so I ran. This was the first house that I found.

AI: We can help you find your way home.

CELEANA: No! I don't want to go outside. They may find me.

Ai looks at Mira.

MIRA: You can stay here with us till you feel like you can go back.

CELEANA: Oh thank you, thank you so much!

Mira smiles. Akane stands up and leaves the room. Sei follows her.

AKANE: I don't trust her.

SEI: Why not?

AKANE: I don't know something is off about her.

SEI: Well we didn't trust you either at first.

AKANE: I know... But it's different I tried to kill you... and she... doesn't.
