Mei: ....I thought he died. He was there, I seen it...I could feel it. How is this....

Vince: ...I can't be sure. But maybe he was still alive, and we missed it....or maybe the un ion brought him back...

Mei: ...it's definitively m-24. No doubt about it...His image has not changed, nor the impression he gives. He's the same...yet somehow different.

Vince: do you think it was crombell?

Mei: .....

Vince: ....bet you won't mess with the time line again...

Mei: shut the hell up.

Vince: This is your fault and your problem...I'm not helping on this.

Mei: when have you ever helped me....?

Vince: .......

Mei: exactly.

The next night, Frankenstein and the rest brought M-24 to the house and carried him to the lab to run some tests on him. Although, I kept getting a eerie feeling deep in my stomach.

Along with the next few passing days. This feeling in my stomach got worse.

Raizel: mei, are you okay?

Mei: ...I'm...I'm fine. I'm alright.

Raizel: your hands are shaking.

I didn't notice while sitting and thinking for so long that my hands were in fact shaking.

Mei: ...Oh. I guess I am....Haha......maybe I...just need some air...

Rai then put his hand on my head.

Mei: .....

He rubbed the top of my head gently.
It calmed me a bit....but it made my cat ears pop out.

Mei: ...

Raizel: pfft....

Mei: ...laugh and I'll give you ears again.

I poofed away my ears as soon as Frankenstein walked in.

Frankenstein: after inspecting M-24's body, I found that his cells have all been freshly made. They all seem new. Of course, this could be explaining the fact that his body was at such a limit that he thought he was dead, and his cells could have reproduced to replace the older ones when perceived...but, we have to keep in mind that this could be a fake.

Mei: .....

The, m-21 walked into the room an looked at Rai.

M-21: ...could you...help M-24, like you did with me last time?

What?

Frankenstein: M-21...are you perhaps talking about an awakening? Like how master awakened you?

M-21: yes. I'm sure M-24's physical ability would rise too in the process. If we combined that with your treatment.

Frankenstein: An awakening doesn't work on everyone. Only people with great unawakened powers will be affected.

M-21: How do you know when we haven't even tried yet? If that's possible, then isn't finding treatment impossible as well?

Frankenstein: try? It's not as simple as that. An awakening isn't a normal power. Great strength is pulled from the user. Not to destroy, but to stimulate the other's hidden power and bring them up to the surface. To do such a thing, extremely strong power is needed.

M-21: ...!!

Frankenstein: master's current condition, it isn't something easy.....M-21, are you asking master to spend his life forces for M-24?

M-21: .....

Frankenstein is very angry, the air in the room grew tense.

Frankenstein: M-21, answer me.

M-21: .....

Raizel: M-21 is right. We will not know unless we try. If you desire it, I will awaken him.

Mei: Rai...

Frankenstein: Master, M-24 is not M-21. M-21 had considerable latent ability; M-24 has less. If his power does not awaken to a significant degree, it will make no difference.

Raizel: I am aware. However...M-24 is M-21's comrade. It is worth a try.

He's doing it again. I want to stop him...I have to stop him....

M-21: no.

Mei: ....

M-21: if I'd know it would strain you, I would never have asked. I was only thinking of myself-

Raizel: no. You have the right to request this of me.

M-21: ...Thank you...for saying that. But now that I know it will hurt you to awaken M-24...I cannot ask. Frankenstein. I'm sorry for causing a disturbance. Please take good care of M-24.

Frankenstein: Master, your body is in a dangerous state.

Raizel: I am aware.

Mei: Rai you have changed, and I am glad to see it. But if you keep using your power on occasions like this...

Raizel: mei. Frankenstein. I apologize for always causing you worry. I do not know how much time I have...but while I am here, I wish to protect those that are around me. Please understand my selfish desires.

I can't...I don't like when rai talks like this. I stood from my seat.
I could feel a lump for in my throat. It burned.

Mei: ...I'm...I'm gonna go get some air after all...

Mei: ..........

Stop crying....it's okay...just stop crying......

Mei: DAMMIT!.....why can't...I ever do anything?

Vince: you look pathetic.

Mei: .....go away, Vince. I don't need your commentary....

Vince: you cannot win, mei. Every move you make has consequences....do you now realize, you were not meant to live.

Mei: I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY!! I CAME HERE TO BREATHE NOT BE SUFFOCATED!!.........it's not fair.

Vince: ...life is not fair...life is cruel....that is why you are the beautiful lie, and I am the ugly truth.

Mei: ......

Vince: ....submit and die.

Mei: ....never. No matter how many lives I live...I'LL NEVER SUBMIT TO YOU!

Vince: .....then continue to suffer....
