"Definitely. But Mum wouldn't approve."

"Why not?"

"Because the virus can kill you."

"Not if you take my elixir right after!" interjects Evan. 

"They mean Manifesting without Evan's elixir can kill you."

"...what's the difference between catching the virus and having it injected?"

"Nothing, I guess. But it's still weird to inject people with something that could hurt them."

"And it's not weird to get them to hang around people who will definitely infect them with it eventually? That's stupid."

"I guess Zaneta kinda thought you already had it. And they're separate schools for people with the virus."

"Fair, but then why don't people just routinely inject kids who are gonna drink the Elixir with the virus?"

"Mummy says that'll start soon. She thinks people won't like it."

"Why?"

"Lots of people don't like Miracles. And even people who do can kinda be weird about suddenly having one for a kid."

"Why would they care more about the virus than about the Elixir?"

"Lots of people think the Elixir is freaky, too. It's kind of a reminder that one day there won't be regular people anymore."

"But you said people already drink the Elixir and that they'd start injecting the virus too soon, why would it change?"

"Look, people's feelings don't always make sense."

"People don't know what's good for them," Evan mutters.

"And why don't they already inject the virus anyway? Why didn't they do it from the start?"

"Because I only invented the elixir three years ago."

"He means he used his power on some stuff under the sink when we were five," says Stan.

"Shut up!"

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Well, first we weren't really sure if I Manifested properly because of the Elixir, or if I was just lucky."

"I think three years is more than enough to figure that out!"

"Well, they have. Auntie Zaneta and the AA have been very cautious."

"Mm."

"You could totally go first."

"We'll see."

A voice rings out on the intercom. "Kids, I'm home. I hope you're making Sadde feel welcome."
