Summary: Seifer heard the commotion outside the door to the Disciplinary Room, and recognized the voice right away -- Zell, yelling at Nida to let him in, and under that, Nida calmly trying to tell him no, that wasn't a very good idea.
Why: I found this through Tomomichi.

Emotions and the way that he expresses them are such a huge part of who Zell is, and I really thought this story did a great job with that. I liked his anger and his very physical expression of it. Likewise, Seifer likes to make people think that he's done something terrible even when he hasn't necessarily, and this story does a great job with that as well. This is the way that I would love to see both characters written more often. Even though it's short, I liked the feeling of urgency and the way that it felt like a lot more happened than actually did. The ending also made me quite happy for some reason. ;)
