The last few days Shawn has been getting intense headaches, although he hides them from everyone else. One evening, as
he's working on an experiment in his room, the spirit in him takes over his body, which causes Shawn to black out. The spirit
makes his way down to the kitchen and finds Casey, and they make a promise to meet later that evening after Casey speaks with
Adriana. When Casey comes back, she finds a confused Shawn sitting on the floor, pale with pain from another blinding headache.
He is bedridden for a few days, too weak to move.
Meanwhile, Kazuo is making plans with Cirrus to make a potion to break Aden and Adriana up. Cirrus reveals that he once
used a potion on Cecilia so she would turn on Sito. Kazuo demands that he bring him some, and so Cirrus does. The next night,
Adriana celebrates her birthday with a game of strip poker. Kazuo brings her a beautiful necklace for a present, which causes
Aden to pale and leave the room. Kazuo follows after him, and they talk for a bit before Kazuo goes back and joins the game
again. During the middle of the game, Adriana leaves abruptly, which causes Kazuo to slip into a irritable mood. The
next night, Kazuo meets Adriana down in the bar, and slips the potion into a drink for her. She takes it and goes up into
her room.
The next evening, Casey goes up to Shawn's room, and finds him missing. She then goes in search for Eris, and has no
luck finding her either. She rushes to Adriana's office, where everyone seems to be gathering and finds Kazuo, Adriana,
Amorette, with a strange white haired girl who claims to be Chiisai, Sito's cat. Casey's frantic reaction soon turns to anger,
and she demands a search party be sent out, knowing that the Ebene most likely has Shawn. Adriana reacts calmly, and gathers
Amorette, Jesse, and Pfalz, and sends them out. She tells them to report back in two hours.
Kazuo is left in the office to deal with a homicidal Casey. No matter what he does, she doesn't calm down and eventually
storms from the office when Adriana comes back. To Kazuo's surprise, and relief, Adriana begins making advances on him. They
make a promise to meet in her room. When he gets there, he finds Adriana dressed to please, and they quickly start making
out. Kazuo becomes infuriated when she says Aden's name, and storms from the room.
