Later that day, around midday, everybody was at the Dekabase's docks, awaiting Flora's arrival. Particularly Sen was exited about this. Moments after her shuttle docked, Flora stepped out, only to run to Sen as soon as she saw him, and wrap her arms around him. Particularly Umeko was jealous when she saw this.
"I was afraid I would never see you again, Sen-chan." Flora said.
"It's okay. I'll protect you, no matter what." Sen assured her.
Sen didn't seem to pay much attention to the look Umeko had on her face, as he showed Flora the rest of the group.
"I suppose you remember everyone here." Sen told her, "Except for of course..."
"Yes." Flora replied: "Ban. Jasmine. Umeko. Tetsu. Hoji. And Wells."
This seemed weird to Wells: "Hang on! How did you know my name?"
Flora explained: "They gave me a file about you."
"And that's the same way you know me?" Tetsu asked for confirmation.
"Yes." she answered flatly.
"Then I suppose you wouldn't mind if Jasmine examined you!" Wells said, just as flatly.
"What?" Jasmine didn't remember to have heard anything about checking her.
Flora , immediately after Wells spoke, had hidden herself behind Sen, after which she said: "Sen-chan! That guy's scaring me!"
"I just need to be sure whether she can be trusted." Wells explained.
"Just like we still need to about you!" Ban remarked.
Wells sighed deeply, as Flora asked Sen: "He doesn't trust me?"
"Apparently not." Sen answered, "Have Jasmine examine you anyway!"
"Sen-chan?" this surprised her greatly, "You don't trust me either?"
"I do." he assured her, "But I want Wells to trust you too!"
Sen nodded to Jasmine, who then took off her glove and touched Flora. What she saw then seemed frightening.
Sen noticed Jasmine's look on her face: "What's wrong? What do you see?"
"Nothing!" she answered.
Sen didn't understand: "Then what's the problem?"
"That's exactly the problem!" she replied, "I don't see anything at all!"
"Then there's nothing to be worried about." Wells stated.
Everybody made their usual look of surprise, when they drop their jaws and opened their eyes widely.
"You are all scary when you do that!" Wells remarked.
"What makes you think that there's nothing wrong with this?" Tetsu asked.
"She's an android!" Wells said matter-of-factly, "I'd find it hard to imagine she'd be able to read her mind at all."
Sen sighed of relief. As Flora seemed more relaxed as well, he started to her: "So... I suppose you wanna get your batteries recharged first?!"
Flora nodded, after which Sen lead the way and she followed. As a way of saying goodbye, she smiled at everyone.
Once both of them were out of the Dekas' sight, Umeko dares to speak freely: "What is it exactly between those two? I just can't understand it!"
Tetsu thought he had it figured out: "I suppose those two just like each other that much."
"Looks more like a father-daughter relation to me." Jasmine figured, "What do you think, Wells?"
Since she didn't hear any reply from him, she called for him: "Wells?!"
Wells did not answer. He seemed to have something else on his mind: "Just remembered I had other things to do."
He left immediately after he said this.
"What was that just now?" Hoji wondered.
"Why does he always act that mysterious?" Umeko added.
Ban tried to keep it simple: "Try not to understand westerners!"
Jasmine smiled: "Oh, he's not that mysterious."
