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

[gogoghostpowers]

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

[9mon]

[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?!

[gogoghostpowers]

[ snorts ]

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

[9mon]

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

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh trust me, I know.

[9mon]

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.]

[gogoghostpowers]

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

[9mon]

[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.]

[gogoghostpowers]

...whoa, what was that about?

[9mon]

I quit baseball and joined the theater... so he thought I was trying to make fun of the baseball team...

It all worked out in the end, at least?

[gogoghostpowers]

Dude. What a jerk. How is you joining the theater supposed to be making fun of the baseball team?

[9mon]

We were doing a skit about baseball, so... It probably looked like that to him.

He's really not a bad guy, he just had a lot of feelings about it.

[gogoghostpowers]

Hmm. Maybe. [ Danny is maybe a little bit biased against jerk jocks with a lot of bravado. ]

Did he at least stop being a jerk to you after that?

[9mon]

Yeah... There was a lot of stuff I couldn't say back then.

But we've both accepted it.

[gogoghostpowers]

Well...that's good, right? Right?

[9mon]

Right! He's still in baseball and I'm in theater and it's all good.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh good. And that other guy, he didn't actually break anyone's bones or anything?

[9mon]

Azami hasn't broken anybody's bones. I mean, not as long as I've known him.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh. That's...good!

[9mon]

The first time I met him he beat up some guys who were trying to beat him up. So he probably could break bones if he wanted to?

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh. That's, uh...that's good security, at least, right?

[9mon]

Yeah. Azami's so strong.

He's actually two years younger than me. Kinda hard to believe, right?

[gogoghostpowers]

Wait.

That guy is fourteen?

[9mon]

[what are they feeding these kids.]

Yup!
