[He nods slowly.]

So they don't really have a test for people with superpowers...

[ he snorts ] Are you kidding? People with superpowers don't exist in my world.

Are you saying you don't have superpowers???

Not technically? It's...because I'm actually half-ghost. So. I can do ghost stuff.

[You known when you've been confronted with entirely too much at once and then you say the first thing that comes to mind, regardless of how much you should say it?]

Ghost are real?!

[ snorts ]

Yeah? I thought we established that like, our first week here.

Oh! You're right. It's just. Having ghosts here and having ghosts at home feel like they're different, y'know?

Oh trust me, I know.

You would definitely know.

[Being a half ghost and all!

Kumon just accepts this like it's just a new fact of life because every adult at Mankai accepts living plushies.]

Just, uh...don't tell anyone about it, okay? I don't like people knowing.

[He nods. There are some things Kumon doesn't like talking about either.

Like right now when a different bubble comes upon him and his instinctively touches it. A memory plays (until 2:00).

You're confronted with Yamaguchi, the person you formally made a battery with and you're accused of making fun of the baseball team. You find yourself unable to defend yourself, listening to what he's saying and curling in on yourself until a different teenager steps in.

Azami, grabs Yamaguchi and starts putting pressure on his arm. You yell not to hurt his arm- Confronted with Azami, Yamaguchi runs away.

Kumon looks awkward after it concludes.]
