Meanwhile, at Gray Mansion, Davi's face was blazing red the moment she ended the call.
She did not know what to feel at that moment. Especially when the person at the other side of the phone did not talk at all. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on. Is there something wrong? Is he busy?
Truth was that, since Davi was having a hard time choosing which among the steps she should execute first, she decided executing all of them at once. Besides, she thought that an all-out attack would surely have a stronger impact. In addition, part of it was because she thought that it has been so long since she last did a mission, thus, although she did consider the possibility of failure, she did not chicken out and proceeded anyway.
'Step #07; use his name'
She was aware of the importance of this step and as Hinari said, in the art of seduction, this step belonged to the psychological tricks. However, for unknown reason, Davi realized she was strangely having a hard time using Sei's name whenever she talks to him in person. Thus, she was glad to find out that it was actually easier for her to say his name on the phone. She thought she finally found a good way to practice addressing him his name.
'Step #13; appreciate his efforts,'
Hinari advised her never to underestimate the power of saying thanks for every little thing. Davi has always been doing this step no matter who it is, however, strangely, she found it hard to express it towards Sei. Making this step a bit challenging but ended up quite heartwarming for her. She was glad she finally said thanks, not just for letting her call him, but because of many other things he did for her since the beginning. This step also convinced her that Hinari was right; there are things that really seemed easier to say through phone after all.
'Step #17; Let him know you're thinking about him'
Although Hinari said nothing much about this step, she did tell her it means as it is. Therefore, Davi made it sure, that he will clearly get her message, that she has been thinking about him and she is missing him, although she did not realize that she somehow overdid this step a little.
'Step #06; Keep interaction short and sweet'
As her love guru's advice, this step could be the application of the law of supply and demand. 'You have to keep the supply scarce so that the demand will grow even higher.' Thus, Davi did it in a way as if she's some arresting breeze appearing out of nowhere that left him dazzled and speechless.
Somehow, Davi executed the steps perfectly although the steps were carried out in such an amazingly fast pace.
And even though Davi was puzzled the whole time she called him and his lack of response left her wondering whether he was there listening or not, she somehow felt light hearted. As if her gloomy world instantly brightened the moment she said it all.
Davi couldn't explain why but she somehow felt that something good had happened and even though she received no reply, she still felt as though her all-out attack did work, giving her some sort of power to keep moving forward.
