<b><i>ra’s POV</i></b><b>: </b>
ra studied the man’s movement as he continued to ramble and write. Every time he
would write an equation; he would pause in frustration and erase it. It was <b>as </b>if he were trying to figure out the right bnce. As she grew closer to the board, ra realized she’d recognized what type of medicinal equations these were.
Cancer treatments.
The man was trying to create the perfect equations for cancer treatments. Some of the patterns she actually recognized; it was the early stages of her mother’s work. Suddenly, ra recognized who the frustrated man was at the board.
Ethan Taylor.
Without thinking, ra blurted out what was wrong with the equation.
<i>“</i><i>Artasium</i><i>.</i><b><i>” </i></b>
Startled, Ethan swiftly spun his head around to see ra standing before him. His eyes darkened and his brows furrowed as he stared at her.
<i>‘</i><i>What </i>is she <i>doing </i><i>here</i><i>?</i><i>‘ </i>
Before he could ask why she was there, Ethan realized she may have figured out what was wrong with his form.
<i>“</i><i>What </i><i>did </i><i>you </i><i>say?</i><i>” </i>
ra instantly blushed! She hadn’t meant to interfere. Holding up her hands in defense, she began to exin.
<i>“</i><b><i>I’m </i></b><b>so </b>sorry<i>! </i><i>I </i><i>wasn’t </i><i>trying </i>to <i>be </i>rude or interfere-”
Ethan immediately cut her off.

<i>“</i><i>ra </i><i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>care </i><i>about </i><i>that</i><i>! </i><i>What </i><i>did </i>you <i>just </i>say?”
Startled, ra walked up to the board standing directly next to Ethan.
“<i>What </i><i>you’re </i><i>missing </i><i>in </i><i>your </i><i>form </i><i>and </i><i>why </i><i>it </i><i>seems </i>as <i>though </i><i>no </i><i>matter </i><i>what </i><i>you’ll </i><i>need </i><i>radiation</i><i>. </i><i>It’s </i><i>artasium</i>. It’s a <i>mineral </i><i>that </i><i>was </i><i>invented </i><ist </i><i>year </i><i>by </i><i>the </i>bio <ipany </i>
<i>Min</i><i>–</i><i>Bright</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Ethan was very familiar with Min–Bright. It was an advanced mineral and herbal bio-pany. Thepany worked directly with the world’s global space program collecting minerals and herbs from uninhabiteds and asteroids. Many medicinal
breakthroughs happened due to their research and collections.
Ethan looked at ra in slight shock. Clearing his throat, he began to speak.
<i>“</i><i>So</i><i>, </i><i>you’re </i><i>saying </i><i>this </i><i>artasium </i><i>mineral </i><i>is </i><i>what </i><i>you </i><i>added </i><i>for your </i><i>form </i><i>to </i><iplete </i><i>the </i><i>treatment</i><i>?</i>”
Still staring at the board, ra didn’t immediately answer. Her face scrunched up. The equation forms Ethan was using was some of her mother’s early work. The forms were a little outdated, her mother had perfected many of these forms in herter
years.
<i>“</i><i>Where </i><i>did </i><i>you </i><i>get </i><i>these </i><i>equations </i><i>from</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
“<i>Your </i><i>mother</i>.<i>” </i>
ra looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression. Letting out a light chuckle.
<i>“</i><i>No</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>know </i><i>‘</i><i>where</i>‘ <i>you </i><i>got </i><i>it </i><i>from</i><i>‘</i><i>. </i><i>It’s </i><i>just</i>…these <i>are </i><i>pretty </i><i>old</i>. She perfected many of <i>these </i><i>equations </i><iter </i><i>on</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
<i>“</i><i>Is </i><i>that </i><i>right</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
Ethan looked at ra with a passive smile.
<i>“</i><i>Is </i><i>that </i><i>why </i><i>you </i><i>were </i><i>able </i><i>to </i><i>create </i><i>a </i><i>cure</i>?”
<b>9:41 </b>Fri<b>, </b><b>Sep </b><b>5 </b>
ra’s smile was that of someone proud.
<i>“</i><i>Yup</i><i>. </i><i>I </i><i>was </i><i>able </i><i>to </i><i>expand </i><i>and </i><i>advance </i><i>my </i><i>mother’s </i><i>work</i><i>. </i><i>Filling </i><i>in </i><i>the </i><i>codes </i><i>where </i>she <i>either </i><i>left </i><i>off </i><i>or </i><i>left </i><i>open</i>. <i>Even in </i><i>death </i><i>I </i><i>still </i><i>have </i><i>her </i><i>with </i><i>me</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Ethan looked at ra with apassionate look. He could see the love and sullen sadness in her eyes as she thought of her mother. Without realizing it, Ethan gently grabbed ra’s hand. Startled, her eyes shot up at him.
<i>“</i>I’m <i>sorry</i>! <i>I </i><i>didn’t </i><i>mean-</i><i>” </i>
ra blushed.
“<i>That’s </i><i>okay</i><i>. </i><i>I’m </i><i>sure </i><i>my </i><i>face </i><i>gave </i><i>away </i><i>more </i><i>than </i><i>I </i><i>intended</i><i>. </i><i>Thank </i><i>you</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
Ethan let out a light chuckle. Turning to ra, his face became serious. It was time he told her everything.
<i>“ra</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>think </i><i>now </i><i>is </i><i>the </i><i>time </i><i>I </i><i>exin </i><i>why </i><i>I’m </i><i>so </i><i>interested </i><i>in </i><i>you</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
ra gave Ethan an impassive expression. She’d been wondering about this since the say she learned about the g and even before from her previous life. The question constantly burned.
<i>‘</i><i>What </i><i>exactly </i><i>did </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor </i><i>need </i>for <i>her</i><i>?</i><i>‘ </i>
