Outside in the clearing, Raina isn't meditating, but she is trying to forget. Her senses are on high alert. She suddenly hears a slight roll of thunder, and her head snaps up. A single drop of rain dots the ground in front of her, followed by a few more. She's completely exposed to the rain, but she doesn't move. Soon, drops of water run down her cheeks like tears. Then she hears the voice again.
Voice: Now you know. I am a blessing and a curse to you. You can not rid yourself of me. The only thing you can do is accept me.
Raina: I will never accept you! I will keep working until I can overcome you.
Voice: (still calm, ignoring Raina's tone of voice) You must! If you don't, it could tear you apart.
Raina: I would rather that than what you propose. If I accept you, I will never even have a chance to have a partner that I've worked so hard for.
Voice: But that's the beauty of it! You can't become attached and be weakened if they are destroyed. You will be a single being. I will be your weapon. None of getting used to the soul wavelengths.
Raina: No! I refuse!
Voice: (sighing, seeming to feel pity) Then I have no choice. I'm sorry, Raina, truly I am.
Raina feels a burning sensation in her stomach. She gasps and goes to grasp it. Her hands slip right off. First she looks and sees it's because of the rain, but suddenly the clear water turns red.
Red with her blood. Then her vision goes black.
An Hour Later, in the Dispensary
Tsubaki: Where is Raina? I thought she would come back for you by now.
Anna shrugs. Her arm is loosely hooked up to an IV, just to make sure she was getting some nutrients. Anna had collapsed as soon as she got in, laying on the nearest bed. Stein had gone to analyze a blood sample he had taken. Then the door opens.
Anna: Raina?
Stein: (smiling) Nope. Sorry everyone, I just finished analyzing Anna's blood sample.
Anna: Wait...
Stein: (cutting her off) I didn't find anything, which is a relief. I think you just pushed yourself too hard. Try training some more when you get better and it shouldn't happen again.
Then the door opens, revealing Raina, dripping wet.
Maka: Raina! You're back.
Raina: Yeah, sorry I ran off. (She walks over to Anna) Sorry.
Anna: (suddenly perky again) It's ok, Raina! I'm fine now!
Raina: Of course. You're the best, Anna.
Anna: Thanks Rains!
Raina: Rains?
Anna: Yep! It's my new nickname for you!
Suddenly a thunder wave rolls, and people laugh at the irony that it's raining and Anna thought up that nickname. Raina just smiles. A close up of her eyes reveals that they are a combination of the two colors, slowly turning darker.
When the camera zooms in on her smile, you can see that her teeth have grown slight points, kind of like Soul's. Except they look more like dragon teeth than shark teeth.
Short, I know, but it was the end of the 'Episode,' so deal.
