[Yuta looks... shaken. And judging by that ominously red-stained cloth he's holding up to the side of his forehead, he has a fairly good reason to be.]

...So I slipped. I think... I hit my head on the edge of the sidewalk. It happened so fast, and I was dizzy, and there was a lot of blood-

[There is a pause. He's still trying to sort all of this out.]

Anyway, some people saw it happen and came to help. They got me to the hospital somehow-- I don't remember too well - but something was weird.

[He slowly lowers the cloth. The wound is highly visible, but not what you would expect from one having been inflicted not too long ago. In fact, it looks reasonably well on the way to recovery. There are no signs of stitches, and yet it has not only stopped bleeding but also begun to heal somewhat.]

...Do people... usually heal faster here?

No faster than they did back home, I think. Maybe you got some sorta healing factor.

[youngestboxer]

Healing factor...? What do you mean by that? Like, some kind of power?

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Yeah! You know, super powers! NEXT abil -- er, never mind that, you probably wouldn't know what I'm talking about. But hey, why complain?

[youngestboxer]

...It's just weird. I've been thinking I was a normal kid all this time, so I'm not sure what to think now that it turns out I might not be.

Hey, nothing wrong with having an extra ability or something! Doesn't mean you can't live a normal life!

[youngestboxer]

What do you mean? The minute you stand out, it's kind of hard to convince others to treat you the same.

[the_ko_stands_for_tiger]

Hey, it's all in how you handle it! Get the right people around you, and you'll grow up fine! Besides, this place isn't really a place to worry about being weird.

[There is a pause before Yuta responds, and it's clear that even now he isn't fully convinced.]

...I guess...
