It was unusually cold the next morning. Jade told them that the heater had broken. Horizon didn't think that it was just the heater that broke. Perhaps the stares from Thorn across the kitchen table might have had something to do with it. She hadn't said or done anything recently. In fact, no one really had.

Horizon thought it was interesting that she was very in love with Evangel and she had only known him for two days. He seemed to know all about her. He was very unusual, indeed. Had he known she would be coming? The possibility hung in her mind. She would ask him.

That afternoon, it was a familiar setting. She was sitting cross-legged on Evangel's bed as he sat on his computer chair. Techno music was blasting on the stereo. Horizon tilted her head and looked at him, studying him, trying to absorb him into her memory. She was afraid to ask him whether he had known she had been coming. But he spoke first. "Would you like to try working on your powers?"

"I guess so."

"Okay." He picked up a book, manga, in fact - Trigun manga, which she loved. He set it on the bed across from his. "Now, you can either reach out your hand to try pulling it towards you, or you can use your eyes. Either way, you use mind power." Horizon narrowed her eyes and tried getting the manga to come to her, but it didn't move. "It didn't work," she said.

"It's okay. You're learning, you're trying. Just focus and keep trying."

She tried again and again. After an hour or so, she got aggravated and flopped back on the bed. "Dammit! It isn't going to work!" Evangel lied down beside her. "I believe in you. If you try hard enough, you'll get it."

"I have been trying hard."

"I know, but maybe what you need is inspiration or a jolt to stimulate your mind."

"Sounds feasible. What do you suggest?"

"Not sure."

"I've been wondering. Did you know I was coming, were you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I knew you were coming. I've known it for a while. I knew someone was coming, and when I saw you, I knew that's who I was searching for."

There was a knock on the door. It was Jade. "Horizon! The Oracle wants to see you now."

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment." She stood up and looked at Evangel. "What does this mean?" She asked him.

"I don't know. I just hope she gives you some good news."
