"I sell it behind the bikeshed for five dollars!"

"Does Zaneta know?"

"She pretends not to know. The government also gives it to kids in hospital who might die, or who can't walk and stuff."

"Why hasn't everyone taken it then?"

"Not everyone has the virus in their bodies."

"It only works on people with the virus?"

"Yeah. Mum says we might inject the virus into people someday. Until then, just sick kids...and kids with five dollars."

"Well I don't have the virus, I come from a world without it."

"It can be contagious..."

"Well, I still want adult supervision."

"Why? In case you become too immortal?"

"In case it does something other than what you're saying."

"It's been given to hundreds of kids with no problems."

"Says you."

"What happens if you catch a really bad illness in the meantime? Or if you catch the virus and Manifest without the elixir?"

"I dunno, that sounds like the kind of question an adult could answer."

"You'd die!"

"Your mom Manifested without the elixir, didn't she?"

"Back then, almost all kids who did died!"

"Well, it can wait until she's around."

"You so have powers already."

"No, I'm just too sensible to trust drinking a strange elixir on an eight-year-old's say-so!"

"You haven't heard about Swim Kid have you? He was a one time thing!"

"Who's Swim Kid?"

"Kid who buyed Evan's Elixir. He's like Michael now."
