[Nina looks somewhat concerned when she turns on the video feed, and she doesn't waste any time getting right down to it.]

I have a question for the other newcomers who came here normal. No, I'm sorry, I don't mean that many of you are abnormal—I'm talking about powers.

[She stretches a hand out before here for a moment.]

There's never been anything that special about me. Not in that way. But they say that after being here for a while, some newcomers can do things they couldn't do before. Like heroes in comic books. But I always thought special powers were like Superman's, you know? Really obvious stuff.

But...things have been happening lately. When I'm studying for class and want to find something in a textbook, I can always find it right away, whether I've read it before or not. And when I'm tidying up the apartment, I just know where things are. And that's harder than you think when Tenma's been a little messy. It's happened often enough that I know it's not my imagination.

Do you think it's possible for something like that to be a 'power'?

What made you different?

The fact that I was never human, mostly. And strength of character. But here things are different, there's a network of ways to cope, and nobody has to learn about their powers alone. Talking to other people about it makes all the difference.

Oh! You look human.

I think being able to talk to each other makes a difference in many ways here. The newcomers might not hold together so much otherwise.

Oh, absolutely. If there's one thing to be proud of its the way that we all pull together for each other, no matter the worlds we come from.

There's exceptions, of course, but there always are.

Yes. There always are.
