Summary
Sei was on a date with Albert. She had been waiting for him nearby. Once she saw she had noticed that he was wearing very casual looking clothes. He had been wearing a white hempen shirt and gray jeans. They went to a very popular pancake shop. On the way Albert was escorting Sei to her apartment. Sei had thanked him and in response he wanted her to call him Al. She agreed and began to hold her face and smiled. Sei opened her eyes and it turned out to be a dream. She started to roll back and forth on her bed (while internally shrieking).
