[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'?

You sound like a man who's been through a lot.

[She shakes her head.]

Maybe life really is simple for some people. But that doesn't make them worth any less. And I think there's more to most people than you give them credit for.

I think I was worth less. No, I was. Does the imago not look down on the caterpillar as it takes to the sky, and think 'Thank god I'm a butterfly'?

Perhaps it remembers where it came from and understands the caterpillar better for doing so.

From experience. No, it doesn't. But you're welcome to keep thinking that.
