Meanwhile over at the black dorm in Seb's room, Seb has just put on his new black uniform, looking at himself in the mirror.
    "I guess that's good as it's gonna get." Seb thought, feeling a little uneasy with the change of color. "Still used to white, though."
    Suddenly a knock came at the door.
    "Um...Seb-kun...?" Etsuko's voice came from the other side.
    Seb turned to look towards the door. "The door's open." He answered, not sure what was the proper way of telling someone to come in.
    The door slowly opened. "Um...I-I want to apologise for...earlier..." Etsuko stutered as she walked in, wearing the standard black girl's uniform, she no longer had her fur coat or fur boots, her clothing now looked similar to Kary's.
    "It's okay. You...well..." Seb, before taking a quick look at Etsuko. "I guess you weren't yourself."
    Etsuko slowly shook her head. "N-no I...at first...that k-kiss was...meant to be a 'thank you' but...after thinking in my room for a while I..."
    Seb shook his head. "Calm down for a second. Just relax a little."
    "O-okay..." Etsuko replied before sitting on Seb's bed.
    Walking over to the door, Seb closed it before turning around. "Now, what was it you wanted to tell me?"
    Etsuko began fidgeting with her hands. "W-well...like I said, after thinking in my room for a while...you...did save me...a-and Naruki-kun...I mean if you didn't stop me then...I'd never forgive myself..."
    Seb wiped his hand down his face. "I wish it was that easy. There are still agents of the Darkness in the Academia, and there may also be agents of the Radiance. I may have helped you two, but this may be just the beginning..."
    Etsuko went red in the face before she could speak again. "Y-you remind me so much of Kou-kun...even just then, you put the needs of everyone else before your own..."
    Seb let out a sigh. "I... I guess it's a bit of a problem of mine." he said before walking over to her. Rather than sit down next to her, he pulled his worktable's chair, turned it around and sat down. "Most people are selfish. They don't really think about others unless it benefits them. If I had known that before, maybe I wouldn't've ended up making all the wrong choices."
    "Wrong choices...?" Etsuko asked herself. "...I've sometimes thought...that maybe Kou-kun isn't the right choice...he...never seems that interested in me...guess he isn't that fond of shy girls..." Etsuko showed a wry smile. "Seb-kun...?" Etsuko asked.
    Seb took a moment to think. "Yeah. I don't really like talking about myself. I mean, sure, I can act all hero-like, but...I don't know."
    Etsuko gently held Seb's hands between her own, Seb had never felt such smooth warm skin before. "Seb-kun...what...I'm really trying to say is...you're self-less, kind...caring...h-handsome..." Etsuko, without noticing herself, let the tension go in her arms, leaving Seb's hands trapped on her soft thighs.
    Seb's hands shook nervously. "Etsuko..." He nervously said, feeling his own arms tense. "What are you..."
    Etsuko looked deeply into Seb's eyes, affection reflecting in them as she smiled. "...S-Seb-kun...I...w-want...to be with you..."
    Seb tried to keep a steady eye contact, but he just couldn't. As if the tension forced the movement, he turned away from Etsuko, his hands tearing themselves away. "Stop, please. Just..." He tried to say, his eyes shut tight. "Just...don't say it."
    Etsuko's smile melted, her arms drooping along with her head. "O...okay...i-it's alright...I..."
    Seb let out a sigh. "No...wait. Just...hear me out."
    Etsuko brought her head back up, only to show Seb that she was holding back tears behind quivering lips.
    Seb looked for a moment at Etsuko. "The people I liked...they all ended up using me, and once they were done...they just dropped me out. I just...I'm just tired of being hurt...and if I turn others away, I just end up hurting them."
    Etsuko gently held Seb's head by the cheeks. "Seb-kun...I promise, I'll never hurt you, or drop you or use you!...B-but you can hurt, drop and use me...I don't care anymore...I just want to hold you close right now..."
    Etsuko got up and wrapped her arms around Seb, before sitting on his lap, her head resting on his shoulder. "Oh Seb...I promise...I'll love you forever..."
    Seb stayed motionless on his chair, keeping silent. Several questions jogged in his head as he closed his eyes. 'Does she love me because Kou doesn't love her? Is it because I saved them both She said she'll love me forever...but why does it mean make feel so awful?'
Seb, the guy who hates cute girls hugging him, hooray!
