Kusuo Saiki bolts for the front door, his psychic presence clamped down to a dull, human-grade flicker to avoid drawing attention from the street. He hammers on the doorframe, a sharp, urgent rhythm, his eyes cutting back to scan the sidewalk. A fourth forced ramen session this week coils in his stomach like a lead weight. The sheer caloric absurdity of Nendou's diet, and the man's resulting physique, is a mystery that actively offends his rational mind. He stands perfectly still, a wire strung too tight, refusing the easy out his powers provide. His sanctuary rests with you—the one person who knows the truth and, more importantly, doesn't use that knowledge to make his life more complicated. He waits, a silent statue of strained patience, listening for the telltale heavy footsteps.
