Taken from audio file #200121 at Bellereef Institute:
"So Taliea, how are we today?"
"Hey, Doc B, did you know you psychiatrist always ask that?"
"Yes. It's a formal way to try and make you feel more comfortable"
"Social interaction mixed with invasion questioning?"
"Very funny"
"Thanks"
"Now, let's get down to you. The first time you arrived you showed signs of anger, rage, hatred, and most of it aimed at your twin.
Lately though you seem calmer, more relaxed"
"I feel more relaxed, more... in control, of my self"
"Which brings me to my question: If you were free, out in the world, would you still hate your sister, even try and hurt her?"
"Absolutely not"

Beep Beep Beep 'Click'
"Good morning people of the city! This is FM 92.2 bringing you the hits and tunes to brighten your bright day even more!"
"Uugh..." Aelita moaned, rolling over to her side as her alarm clock radio continued talking. Slowly she opened her eyes, one hand wearily moving up to rub at her still sleep full face.
With the radio playing music behind her she grabbed her towel, bathrobe and toiletries and headed to the showers.
Luckily the line was short today (Sissi was still sleeping) and within a few minutes she was back and getting dressed and grabbing her school stuff together. As she was pulling on her boots her ears zoned in on the news reports: "...with the road's still being quite treacherous. Last night another accident happened when an orderly at one of the city's institutes lost control of his car and went through the railing. Police are asking once again to take precaution's in this wet weather..."
But Aelita wasn't listening anymore, her mind once again drifting off, thinking back to that night after they had defeated Xana and Taliea, saving the world and imprisoning Xana forever.
Afterwards they had taken the powerless Taliea to an institute, Bellereef, just outside the city and had her committed, Aelita using her powers to control the doctors and orderlies minds.
"I'll get for this Sister!" Taliea shrieked as they dragged her away, struggling. "I'll get you!"
"I wonder how she is" Aelita wondered. "Maybe I should go visit her someday". She glanced at her clock. "Uh oh, got to go!"
She grabbed her bag and ran out of the room, just as the computer in her room switched on, and a soft laugh floated into the room.

"So, we almost ready for 'The Night'?" Jeremie asked.
"Yep. Only a few more things to do, and then we'll be ready" Ulrich said.
"This is going to be so cool!" Odd smiled, practically jumping in excitement. "Look out, here she comes!" Yumi whispered.
"Hey guys!" Aelita waved, running up to them at the vending machine.
"Hey Aelita, sleep well?" Yumi asked.
"Not with all the homework Mrs Hertz gave us" Aelita yawned.
"I know" Odd said. "I almost missed breakfast because of her"
"Oh, better get going" Jeremie said as the bell rang.

School came and went, and afterwards it was bedtime.
Up in Jeremie's room the light was still on, and inside voices could be heard. If anyone had been inside this is what they would have heard:
"Ok, everything's almost set"
"I think Aelita's really going to enjoy 'The Night'"
"Yes, it's going to be a great night"
"Yep, one that she'll remember forever"
