Summary:

Seito notices something weird about Arthesia.
———
"Hey! Did you know that one co-worker in here? He's so dreamy~"

"For real! I'd kill to be his wife!"

"Oh my god, aren't you talking about Imai-san?! He's so cool! He helped me with carrying a stack of paper to the boss' office the other day."

"Really?! Haa.....!!!! Now I'm even more in love with him!!!"

"Such a good looking man, but he also is kind-hearted. I'm kind of jealous."

That's what Seito heard his co-workers say as he walked home from work a few days ago. He listened in on the whole conversation until he couldn't hear it anymore.

He never knew that someone would find him good-looking. Nor he knew that someone's jealous of how much of a nice person he is.

It makes him sick.

Now here he is, in Hayato Matsuzaka's home, with him, Setsuna, and the other Seiten members. He didn't even speak up once during the meeting. He was more...quieter than usual.

However, he took note of someone who has been acting...very different as of late.

Arthesia Vignetta.

Usually, she'd be the listener in conversations. Usually, she'd stay quiet and only talk when it's necessary for her to talk. Usually, she's just...there.

But now, she's giggling happily. Now, she's being more lively. Now, she's...

More sociable.

That left Seito confused. Just how the hell did she turned from an introverted and quiet girl to a literal social butterfly?

It's so odd, and here he thought that Thesia wouldn't exactly change much no matter how hard she tries. It's just....weird to him. He feels weirded out by how much Arthesia changed in the span of a day.

'So weird...'

"Hey."

Seito jolted up and turned his head to see Selene, who only looked at him with a neutral expression on her face. "O-oh, um, yeah?" He asked, a bit confused.

Selene sighed. "Speak up, will you? You haven't talked ever since we got here." She said, crossing her arms as she leaned onto the back of her seat. Seito stayed silent, nodding as he continued to observe Arthesia from a far.

'There is absolutely no way she could just randomly change in the span of one day. I gotta get to the bottom of this.'
