Elesis is spacing out in the girls' room while the others are busy picking the next potion. Eve lies down beside Elesis and pokes her.

Elesis startles. "W-What is it?"

"He'll be fine," Eve smiles.

Rose picks up violet potion. "Let's use this!"

"Wait! We need to tell the others!" Rena shouts in panic.

"Poof," Rose opens the potion.


Disability potion: Oh well... This would be a stressful day.

"I can't see!"

"Lu, calm down!"

"What do you mean 'calm down'?! I can't calm down!"

Everyone is having breakfast while sharing their problems.

"I'll take this to Add," Rose says as she takes the breakfast and walks to the lab.

Add, like usual, is doing something like time travel. Pieces of magenta glass are scattered on the floor.

"Looks like you didn't sleep," Rose smiles as she puts the breakfast on the table.

"I do what I want," Add replies.

Rose giggles. "Sorry. I can't hear you."

Add sighs as he takes a device from the drawer. He puts it on Rose's ears and looks at her. "I made this too because I don't know what kind of disability you got," he puts another device on Rose's hand. "You can give it to someone."

Rose smiles as she kisses Add's cheek, making him blushes. "You didn't sleep because of this? That's sweet."

"Tch."

"So? What happened to you?" Rose asks.

"I can't walk," Add answers, "but I have my Dynamos."

"I'll go out for a moment," Rose walks away.


She gives the device to Ciel.

"Cool," he comments as he looks around.

"You look good with that visor," Rose smiles.

Ciel smiles back. "I think I'll give it to Lu."

"Go on," Rose nods as she walks away. She approaches Eve. "How's it going?"

"Elsword and Ara got speech disorder. Aisha, Lu, and Ciel got blindness. Rena, Chung, and you got hearing loss. Elesis and I got physical disabilities. We can't walk, but I can fly so it doesn't matter."

"Add has the same problem," Rose giggles, "What about Ain?"

Eve tilts her head. "Obviously he's not affected. He got one already."

Rose's eyes widen. "Memory loss counts? I didn't know."

"Anyway, I'm going to help Add," Eve says as she waves her hand at Rose and flies away.


Rose goes to the backyard and sits beside Ain. "Ain! What are you doing here?"

Ain faces Rose. "Spacing out. There's nothing much we can do with condition like this."

Rose nods. "Yeah, you're right. Any ideas on what to do?"

Ain sighs. "No idea. I don't think I need to watch over Elsword today. He'll be fine."

Someone hits Ain's head from the back with a rubber. Ain turns around. "Elsword?"

Elsword is smiling and waving his hand.

Ara approaches Elsword and hits his arm. It seems that she wants to yell, but she can't. Elsword notices it from Ara's expression and he just smiles.

"Well?" Rose grins, "Looks like you have something to do."

Ain sighs. "You guys want to go somewhere?"

Ara tilts her head and thinks of somewhere to go while Elsword nods with a smile.

"We should go to the beach sometimes!" Rose shouts, "Sounds fun!"

"Not with those potions," Ain replies as he stands up, "You're coming, Ms. Gunner?"

Rose stands up. "Sure!"

Elsword and Ara are going upstairs.

Rose tilts her head. "They're not coming?"

Ain facepalms. "Oh well..."

Rose looks at Ain confusedly.


They're walking around the town. People are looking at them. Rose hates this, but she accepts it.

"I'm speechless," Rose comments. Elsword and Ara are crossdressing, and they call themselves "Gothic Duo". Obviously they draw a lot of attention.

"I thought you're not going to do some weird sh-t because you like him," Rose says to Ara.

Ara is just smiling.

"You're just going to accept this and move on," Ain says to Rose, "It's Ms. Queen's quote."

"Okay," Rose nods.

Suddenly, Elsword is distracted by something. He stops walking and looks at it. The others also stop walking. "What's wrong?" Ain asks as he looks at what distracted Elsword.

Arena.

"They have this thing in town?" Rose asks in disbelief, "That's kinda brutal!"

Elsword runs toward it.

"Elsword!"


And now they're on a tournament.

"The rule is simple: Beat your opponent. Accidentally killing your opponent is allowed."

"How is that allowed?!" Ain protests.

Rose giggles. "You're just going to..."

"...accept this and move on," Ain says along with Rose.

"Alright Zero! Come out!" Rose shouts. A yellow ball robot comes out.

"What the hell are we doing?!" The robot protests.

Elsword gets the first turn.

"Good luck, mate!" Rose pats Elsword's back—and she notices something before he goes.

Ara pokes Rose. Looks like she notices Rose's changed expression.

Rose smiles wryly. "Well, he's smiling creepily."


On the arena, the opponent is laughing at Elsword. "And why would I need to fight a little girl like you?!"

Elsword is just showing his innocent smile.

"Round 1, fight!"

The opponent takes out his axe. "Alright, kid! I'll let you take the first turn!"

Elsword dashes forward and stabs his opponent's abdomen with 3 Conwells. He doesn't stop there, he grabs Conwell and slashes him from the back.

With a smile on his face.

"You know, he looks psychopathic all of a sudden," Ain comments.

Ara is looking at the scene with widened eyes. She's shocked by this.

Rose doesn't say anything. She keeps looking at the one-sided fight. Elsword keeps attacking the opponent with no mercy. Or maybe he loves killing?

"We need to talk later," Ain says as he stares at Elsword.


The arena is finished. Ara gets the reward from winning the match. She's carrying a trophy—and no one expected that clumsy girl to win.

They come home for dinner. Even though Ciel is blind, he's still making the dinner.

"What were you guys doing?" Elesis asks.

"Arena," Rose answers. Ara puts the trophy and money on the table in living room.

"O...kay..." Elesis nods slightly.


Midnight, everyone turns back to normal. They're sharing how it was like to get their abilities to each other.

Ain grabs Elsword's hand. "Elsword, we need to talk," he says as he drags him to the backyard.

"We can just talk here," Elsword replies.

Rose sighs as she looks at Ara. "Let's go."

Ara nods and follows them.


"What's wrong with you? You killed them!" Ain yells.

Elsword avoids eye contact. Ain is a bit scary when he's angry.

Ara nods. "You don't have to kill them, you know?"

Ain and Ara are scolding Elsword while Rose is looking at them. Scold won't solve the problem. I need to guess why he wants to kill.

Is it because he needs Dark El? Wait, that's not possible. Normal humans don't have Dark El.

Did he know them? Maybe no. He's with us all the time.

Does he love killing? If so, why he loves it? Is it because—

Rose looks at Elsword. Unexpectedly, from his expression, it's clear that he's feeling guilty.

Come on, Add Junior! Think! He was enjoying it. Why?

"Look!" he shows his doodle to them with sparkling eyes. "I've always wanted to draw this! What do you think?"

"You're bad at drawing," Lu comments.

Rose tilts her head. "I don't get it. What did you draw here?"

"Death!"

The two girls startle. "What?"

"I've always wanted to torture demons. Do they have the same thing inside their bodies like humans?" Elsword asks with innocent smile.

Rose's eyes widen. She walks toward them and stops Ain and Ara. She grabs Elsword's shoulder. "It's fine. Just kill some demons next time, okay?"

Elsword stares at Rose's eyes for a moment, but then he smiles. "Okay!"

Rose lets Elsword go.

Ain glares. "You can't—"

Rose sighs. "He's corrupted by Dark El. What can you do?"

They turn to silence.

"I get it. I think I need to apologize," Ain nods as he walks away.

"M-Me too!" Ara follows Ain.

"So you noticed it too?"

Rose turns around to see Eve. She's giggling. "He'll be fine."

"Well, I think we should tell the others," Rose suggests, "You know, just in case."

Eve shakes her head. "It's fine. Don't worry."

Rose sighs. "If you say so."

She turns around, "I'm going to the lab. See you."

"Go Ain! We'll conquer the space!"

"Get off me, Elsword!"

Eve sighs. She walks toward Elsword to see Ain holding Ara's spear with wings on his back.

And Elsword on his back.

Ara startles. "E-Eve!"

Eve smiles. "What were you guys doing?"

"We just wanted to apologize—and this happened," Ara explains.

Eve pokes Elsword's shoulder. "Come on. They need some rest."

"That means you don't?" Elsword asks with a smile. "Come with me!" he shouts as he grabs Eve's hand and goes somewhere else.


Elsword stops and turns around to face Eve. "What is it?" Eve asks.

He takes out a necklace from his pocket and puts it on Eve's neck. He stares at Eve while she looks at the necklace. "Where did you get this?"

"It doesn't suit you."

Eve narrows her eyes. "Then why did you buy it?!"

"I thought it would good on you, but you look great already without an accessory," Elsword says with a straight face.

Eve giggles and blushes at the same time. "I know fashion. I'll do something about it," she smiles before she kisses Elsword's cheek. "Thanks!"
