Mira opens Ais door for Celeana.

MIRA: You'll be staying here with Ai.

CELEANA: Thank you so much. You don't even know how much this means to me.

Mira smiles akwardly.

MIRA: You're welcome.

She closes the door behind her. Akane is watching from Seis lab window. Sei is working on his portal.

SEI: She doesn't look like she could be evil.

AKANE: Maybe... But something about her throws me off.

SEI: What?

AKANE: I don't know... She looks familiar, but I don't know any Ceanuses.

SEI: She doesn't look familiar to me.

Akane doesn't say anything.

SEI: Okay let's see if it will work.

Akane turns to him and comes closer.

SEI: Perl?

PERL: Yes sir?

SEI: Let's start it.

PERL: Okay.

The portal starts activating and than it lits up.

SEI: I did it... It's working!

He looks at Akane and she smiles. He hugs her.

SEI: Let's try it.

He get's closer and puts his hand in, but it doesn't disappear like it should but it just goes through the portal.

SEI: N-no...

PERL: It's seams to me that we made a mistake.

Sei removes his hand from the portal.

SEI: Shut it down.

PERL: Okay sir.

She shuts it down and Sei sits down by the table. He leans his head on the table.

SEI: I thought it would work this time.

Akane sits beside him.

AKANE: Don't give up, maybe next time you could do it.

Sei stands up.

SEI: I've been doing this for almost 6 years and nothing works!

AKANE: Sei calm down-

She notices the shaking of his body.

SEI: I c-can't!

Akane grabs him by his left wrist, Sei freezes. Akane quickly realises.

AKANE: I-I'm sorry I shouldn't have.

Then suddenly he falls to the ground.

AKANE: Sei!

PERL: His heart stopped beathing.

AKANE: What!?

PERL: He has 4-6 min before his cells begin to die.

Akane starts pushing his chest.

AKANE: Sei! SEI!

He doesn't respond.
