-Some Truth-

"Seikatsu is an early experiment conducted by Dr. Crombell. However, from the rumors...she was taken in at a young age. Appearance-wise she looks normal, but her abilities affect her attitude. Those dark and light powers are violent whenever one of us transforms. She even attacked a number of doctors out of fear." M-21 explains as he, Rai, and Frankenstein stood in the living room, "I am not sure about the other details, but Dr. Crombell knows everything." Frankenstein stands next to Rai. This so-called "student" was not human anymore and M-21 confirmed it. "Among the corpses in the hospital were her parents. Were they involved as well?" Frankenstein asks. "They had no choice." M-21 answers.

Seikatsu wakes up to find herself in her bedroom. She sits up from her bed and looks around. Seikatsu then pushes herself off of the bed. She shakes her head remembering what had happened earlier. "Why am I back here? Does that mean...?" Seikatsu ran into the living room to find Rai or Frankenstein, but she ends up running into M-21. She stumbles over and M-21 catches her in his arms. "For someone who cuts Mary in the face, you are a klutz. How are you feeling?" M-21 said as Seikatsu looks up at him.

Seikatsu stares at M-21 to see him alive. "M...M-21! You are alive! You are safe! What the hell are you doing here and you do not look like crap either." Seikatsu said. M-21 frowns as he places his hand on her head. "M-24 is..." He was going to tell her that M-24 was killed. "I...understand. I remember everything. Your wounds are healed." Seikatsu said. She was released and she turns around to see Frankenstein. Frankenstein looks at the woman with a smile on his face. Seikatsu was back to normal. She walks up to Frankenstein and smiles, "Thank you, Frankenstein."

"It was my pleasure. You should dress warmer next time. You might have caught a cold." Frankenstein said. Seikatsu blinks and looks down at the pajamas she was wearing. "Damn it! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" Seikatsu realizes that she was not wearing a bra. "You...ran off," Rai said. "Oh...I guess I had been too focused on finding Shinwoo and the others." Seikatsu said as everything came together. "They are safe," Rai said.

Seikatsu smiles in relief, "Can we visit them?" "Yes, then we are going to see this Crombell person," Frankenstein said. Seikatsu's smile faded. Her eyes dulled and the happiness disappears. "That man...He is the one who made me this way. Mary would always be around when he did my checkups. He intimidates me..." Seikatsu spoke the truth. "He won't lay a finger on you, I promise," Frankenstein assures her. "Tch. What are you? Her father?" M-21 scoffs at the friendliness Seikatsu was receiving from the stranger. M-21 did not completely trust them. Especially with his friend living in their house.

Frankenstein had a crooked smile appear on his face as he looks at M-21. "I saved her and I am her lover." He spoke sarcastically. Seikatsu shoots a glare at the blond. Rai slowly turns his attention to Frankenstein. M-21 had a look of disbelief. "That's not funny. I'm going to put some clothes on," Seikatsu walks out of the room. She needed to avoid the upcoming tension. "Jake commented that HE was her boyfriend. I doubt that either of you are in that sort of relationship with her. Heh, this is funny..." M-21 said. "Aren't you overprotective of her? Seikatsu is an adult." Frankenstein teases.

"She's...! Well shit. She's one of the few I trust." M-21 finished talking. Rai stares at M-21. "She's...a good person." He says. M-21 nods in agreement. Seikatsu walks back into the room after she had changed into her school uniform. The group of people then leave the house.

At the hospital, everyone was in the patient room. Seikatsu sat down on the bed next to Yuna. Shinwoo and Ikhan sat on the separate beds. M-21 stood by the wall furthest away from the children. Rai and Frankenstein stood next to the boys. The children were fine. They could not remember a thing. Shinwoo was eating a bunch of fruit. He was happy.

"How are you feeling?" Frankenstein asks. Shinwoo continues to eat an apple while he talks, "I am doing great! It was just a car accident. Nothing too crazy." Shinwoo was back to normal. "We are grateful that you all brought us here. I remember seeing you smile telling us it would be alright." Yuna said to Seikatsu. Seikatsu smiles nervously. "Without me, you two would be in trouble," Shinwoo stated. "Whatever! Don't talk with your mouth full of food." Ikhan said. Shinwoo huffs and hands Rai a banana. "You can have it. You take one as well, Seikatsu. I can't eat anymore." Shinwoo said as he tosses a couple of bananas over to them.

Seikatsu and Rai catch the bananas using their hands. "Oh, who is this Principal Lee? Is he Seikatsu's boyfriend?" Ikhan asks as he points to M-21. Frankenstein, Seikatsu, and M-21 looked comical as they were irritated with a bead of sweat rolling down their faces. "Why the hell am I subjected to having a boyfriend? An older man at that...Jake, M-21, and now Ikhan. Jesus, the atmosphere is going to kill me." Seikatsu thought. "He's a coworker." Frankenstein answers. M-21 does not speak. Seikatsu sighs. The idea of being in a romance relationship did not fancy her.

"I see...Can Rai and Seikatsu stay to play games with us? They can leave in the morning." Ikhan said. Rai stares at everyone before he walks toward the door. "Please get some rest. We will see you soon." Seikatsu excuses herself and follows Rai in exiting the room. M-21 and Frankenstein do the same and leave.

"Hey, Shinwoo. Once we get out of the hospital, we should take Rai and Seikatsu to a park. It'll be fun for all of us." Yuna said before she took a bite out of an apple. Ikhan fixes his glasses. He takes out his laptop. "That sounds good. Also, we should head to an Internet cafe as well." Ikhan said. "You know. It's funny how Seikatsu would get nervous so easily, but that night...she was genuinely relieved." Shinwoo says as he remembers the smile Seikatsu gave him. Yuna nods in agreement. Seikatsu was not familiar with the culture of the country. She was always polite and she never wanted to offend anyone. She was a bright girl and a good friend.

In the elevator, the four stood in silence. Rai and Seikatsu still held the bananas in their hands. "So...I still have to teach him, huh? Shit...I can't show him how to eat a damn banana...This is just weird." Seikatsu says in order to break the awkward silence. M-21 sighs and crosses his arms, "What job do you have now?" "I'm his teacher...and the butt of the "boyfriend" jokes." Seikatsu murmurs.

"Hey~ Look who we have here~? You came back and brought the bitch who wounded me from before...You know, I have been looking for my sweet prey. Thank you M-21~ I can play with you too." The Infected spoke as he sat on the floor in the middle of corpses. The room was dark and reeked of the stench of blood.

M-21 stood in front of Rai and Seikatsu. "You...what happened to you?" M-21 asks. The Infected grins flashing his shark-like teeth. "Hm? What do you mean? Oh, I'm not trash anymore. It's okay. Hey, where is your friend? Did Jake kill him?" The Infected continues to speak as he puts the pieces together. "Bastard..." M-21 became furious. "Ding ding! I was right. Too bad. I wanted to kill him first." The Infected laughs and M-21 immediately charges at him. Claws and all.

Seikatsu and Rai watch the fight ensue, but now Seikatsu was shaking. This monster was the one who killed her parents and attempted to kill her. She witnessed her parents' murders. Her father has slashed apart and her mother was impaled. The incident continues to replay in her mind. Rai notices Seikatsu's distress and he places a hand on her cheek. "Keep calm..." He said. Seikatsu looks at him. She slowly nods before she witnesses M-21 being impaled.

The woman wanted to scream but looking into Rai's eyes made Seikatsu keep her composure. The woman needed to fight the monster or else she would lose her friend. "Stay here. I'll handle it Seikatsu..." Rai said as he disappears. Before the Infected could kill M-21, Rai stops the monster with one hand. "That woman...She has a good heart and she cares for you. However, do not misunderstand me. I only...can not stand for disrespect and mockery against me." Rai explains, "Seikatsu believes in you. Do you want to see your strength?"

M-21 looks confused. Rai reaches out to M-21 and wipes off the man's blood using his thumb. Seikatsu watches Rai and M-21 before glancing at the Infected. She was scared, but not reckless. The woman did not want to use her abilities now. Before she knew it, all Seikatsu heard was screaming and the impact of M-21 transforming before her eyes. Seikatsu places her hand against her chest feeling her powers being attracted to the transformation's pressure.

"Not now..." She tries to suppress it, but her white aura emits from her body. Rai sees Seikatsu's reaction to M-21's transformation. "Show your enemy...what you can do," Rai said to M-21 before M-21 quickly vanished. "He's different. A...what is he?" Seikatsu spoke now in a normal manner. Rai walks over to her. "That beast...no. He's...He is the one, isn't he?" Rai questions. Seikatsu did not answer. "You told M-21 that I believe in him...thank you. I believe in you and the others too." She said softly.

"You shouldn't cry anymore. I prefer that smile you would display." Rai said as he watches M-21 fight the Infected. "So...he's done now. Change him back, please. And he needs a damn shirt." Seikatsu said as she places a hand on her face. M-21 approaches them slowly. His behavior was normal and he was himself. Seikatsu looks away and tries to not feel flustered. "Did we enter a contract? That power?" M-21 asks. Rai does not say a word. "Then it is a contract. I have to serve you as my master from now on." M-21 said. "What are you talking about? I did not create a contract with you." Rai said.

"Then how...?" M-21 asks. "It is the strength hidden inside of you." Rai simply stated. Seikatsu weakly smiles, "You aren't weak." M-21 looks at the woman. "You... You're normal. Did I trigger you?" He asks. Seikatsu nods. Frankenstein appears, "Master. Seikatsu. Are you two alright?" "Yes. He just demonstrated his abilities for a moment." Rai answers, "I should be asking you..." Seikatsu sees the wound on Frankenstein's arm. "Before we continue chatting let's go home. M-21, you are coming too. No buts. Or else we will fight." Seikatsu said. Everyone looks at M-21.

"Ah...right."

"Oh, put a shirt on after you clean yourself up. I-I get distracted..."

"What the hell is wrong now?"

At the house, Seikatsu was bandaging Frankenstein's hand then checking M-21 for any injuries. The problem came when she had to look at his chest. She hesitates to touch his skin as she washes the dry blood off of M-21's body. "Tch. Why are you so nervous?" M-21 asks her. M-21 and Seikatsu were in the bathroom. He sat on the toilet seat (lid down of course). He stares at Seikatsu who was drenching the washcloth under the cold water running from the sink's faucet. Seikatsu rings the water out of the washcloth and she presses the cloth against his cheek.

"Look. I am not used to seeingYOU shirtless or even transforming to that extent. I was even triggered because of it." Seikatsu answers as she moves the cloth to his back. "You shouldn't be like that at all. Those symptoms can get you killed." M-21 said. Now that M-24 was gone, he was alone. Seikatsu was the only friend he had. Even though she was not the same as him. "Even if one of the experiments transformed...she would change as well." M-21 thought as he did not know that Seikatsu gently pressed against the now-closed wound on his back.

She noticed the wound almost being completely healed. "What's wrong?" M-21 glances at her. "...It's nothing." Seikatsu replies as she continues to wipe him clean. "You...shouldn't be worried. I'm fine." M-21 said. Seikatsu fell silent. The woman moves herself to stand in front of him and places the cloth against his chest. "Stop looking depressed. I'm alive." M-21 sighs. He places his hand on hers. Seikatsu smiles weakly.

She sighs in relief and looks at M-21. "Yes. I am glad. Now...put a shirt on." She said. "What? You never saw a man shirtless before? Heh, you are a strange one Seikatsu." M-21 smiles as he teases his friend. "You are an ass." Seikatsu scoffs. She knew that there would be some awkward tension within the house. "Just so you know...I know what you look like in what you call your sleepwear." M-21 says sarcastically.

"Shut up."
