Rina, who was heading back upstairs, accidentally brushed her fingers against Melissa, and saw in her mind what she was attempting to do. Turning towards her she said, "W-what? What are you ?" she whispered in a panicked voice.

'Damn... Must've worn off just then...' Says a thought in Melissa's mind, perfectly hearable to Rina. "Self defence," she replies quietly, merely glancing at Rina, "let's just say there are some people outside this orphanage who...don't like me very much. This is just a fail-safe precaution..." She begins to walk away, though turns back around for one last message: "Please try not to read my mind too often whilst it's still vulnerable. I picked up your ability, and I don't want people to learn my secrets..." 

And with that, Melissa leaves the room. Keegan stares at Melissa as she left, before turning to Rina, walking over. "She's telling the truth. There're people out there she'd rather not meet. Don't worry, I'll look after her. Don't worry about it." He gives her a reassuring pat on the back and a smile before adding: "I don't think we've been introduced. Name's Keegan. That there was Melissa. We're from the same place, generally. You?"
