Everyone is sitting by the table eating dinner. They see Akane, Sei and Celeana joining them.

MIRA: What happened to you?

Sei sitts down next to her.

SEI: Oh nothing I just died for a minute or two.

MIRA: Exuse me?!

Sei smiles and starts putting food on his plate.

AI: Is he messing with us?

AKANE: No he's not. His heart stopped beating.

MIRA: Oh my gosh are you okay?!

SEI: Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Akane saved me.

Akane blushes.

SEI: If she weren't there I'd be as good as dead.

Mira gives Akane a kind smile.

MIRA: Thank you.

Akane smiles back.

SEI: Anyway I'm hungry.

He starts eating.

SEI: Who knew that dying made you so hungry. So how was everyones day?

David makes a hand move like so so, Taggi just smiles.

MIRA: Nothing special. I tried to make a potion. Didn't go well.

Shiro shows everyone her new plushie.

SHIRO: I made another plushie!

AI: I helped her.

CELEANA: That all sounds fun! Do you guys know about a rock named Uglax?

They all stop and look at her.

MIRA: How do you know about the Uglax?

CELEANA: Oh I just heard a story about it?

MIRA: What kind of story?

CELEANA: It's nothing special. It just said it was a beautiful rock.

MIRA: That rock doesn't exist.

They all look surprised at Mira.

CELEANA: Oh... That's a shame.


Mira, Ai, Shiro and Akane are in bath.

AI: Why did you lie to her?

MIRA: Because... I don't know.

SHIRO: But you never lie.

MIRA: Okay maybe I don't trust her!

AKANE: I thought I was the only one.

MIRE: Something is off about her. I don't know what, but something is.

AI: We need to keep a close eye on her.

MIRA: No... We must keep a close eye on her.

Taggi is going out of his lab, closing the door behind and locking it.

CELEANA: Why do you have scars on your wrist?

Taggi jumps, startled by her.

TAGGI: Oh, it's you...

He covers his scars.

TAGGI:It's nothing...

CELEANA: It doesn't look good. Let me see.

She tries grabbing his wrist, but he moves away.

TAGGI: Please don't.

CELEANA: Oh just show me-

DAVID: Leave him alone.

Celeana turns around and David is staring angrily down at her.

DAVID: Do I need to repeat myself?

CELEANA: No.

She frowns at him and leaves.

DAVID: Is everything okay? Did she do anything to you?

TAGGI: I'm okay.

He looks up and smiles.

TAGGI: Thank you.

DAVID: Common, let's go.


Celeana is walking down the hallway.

CELEANA: I'm gonna find it... I'm gonna find that rock.
