[Zelos video feed will show him at first in selfie mode. He's got that look so someone that's trying to look like he's just in his casual PJs but has definitely doled himself up for the camera]

Soooo I know it's been a crazy month thanks to someone making a portal, but I looked out my window this morning and-

[he'll turn the camera to point out the window and show an landmass floating above the state park in the distance]

What the hell is that?

[Sure enough, there is now a floating island floating above Kami State park thanks to a world regain! It is full of moogle and puffy trees]

Or at the very least, we could get someone who does have wings to go up there. I'm curious to see if I could use it when school comes around.

[And you know. Hopefully away from all the craziness that might distract him from school work?]

[wilder]

Well, my roommate's got wings. Sounds like she's willing to go up! Not sure she'd be willing to taxi folks though.....or if it'd be safe to let her.

[whatsamada]

Oh, she doesn't have to do that. It was just a suggestion for a quiet place to go.

If it's that much work, I'm not going to impose on her.

[Especially when it's the last thing he wants!]

[wilder]

Oh, please. It'll be good exercise for her!

The more energy she burns on this, the less energy she'll have to fight people! So this is a public good really.

[whatsamada]

...Should I be asking why she keeps fighting people?

[Why are you adults all so strange and violent??]

[wilder]

It's her way?

[Helpful!]

[whatsamada]

Of dealing with stress?

[????]

[wilder]

....Sure! I guess that's a reason!

[whatsamada]

How worried should I be now?

[wilder]

🤷‍♂️

[it's a mystery!!]

[whatsamada]

That really doesn't explain anything! Now I'm imagining someone running around asking for a fight wherever she goes.

[wilder]

Well then I say you got the gist and my work here is done!

[NOT GOING TO DISPUTE THAT MENTAL IMAGE]

[whatsamada]

[.......................]

Why are most of the adults here so weird?

[wilder]

Everyone's weird.

The difference is that teenagers still care about being weird.

[whatsamada]

You make it sound so easy to not care about being weird.

[wilder]

Ha, well it helps that I know there's gonna be people that hate me no matter what I do, so why bother caring about what they think?

[He's been hated since the day he was born, he's long accepted there's no winning over people]

But also, you're on an app for people who have supernatural powers. If anything, you're the weird one for caring so much about people being normal.

[whatsamada]

You got a point there. There are always going to be strange people here so everything would seem normal. It's just strange to think about when the adults are so odd.

[But then again, one of the people he does look up to does fight bears often....]

Although, I wouldn't say people hate you. More like how they're not sure how to approach you?

[wilder]

[It can't be seen, but Zelos rolls his eyes]

Kid, I've been dealing with attempts on my life since I was younger than you.

I think I know what I'm talking about when I say some people hate me.

[whatsamada]

Wait, you have? What did you do that made you people hate you that much?

[Pause]

Only if you feel like sharing it.

[wilder]

To put it simply, I was born. That's what I did.

I think you're running on the idea that hate always has some logical explanation behind it. That if you just act "normal" enough, no one will hate you. And if you are hated, it's only because you did something to deserve it.

Well, the world doesn't quite work that way. Sometimes hate has no good explanation. Sometimes a person doesn't deserve it. And sometimes? There's nothing you can do to make them not hate you. That's the sad truth to it all.

[whatsamada]

[Ken didn't say anything at first. Instead, all he could do was think about his own experience and how he overcame that pure hatred over a certain someone. While his had a logical reason, this on the other hand?]

No, I know that hate can be illogical sometimes. There can be no real reason why somebody would hate you. It could be something as simple as one giving you a look you don't like or how they could have accidentally pushed you.

It doesn't make any sense sometimes but I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that. It must have been a really difficult life if you've had to endure a lot of hate.

[wilder]

[Ah, sympathy. Something Zelos never knows how to deal with]

Hey, I'm fine! I didn't tell you to make you feel bad for me. Who cares if people hate me? I'm still gorgeous, intelligent and way cooler than any of them!

[That's just a tad defensive Zelos]

Just don't worry about that stuff so much, is all I'm saying. Of course I know at your age, that's a near impossible ask.

[whatsamada]

[...]

If you say so but it's still not something to just brush off. Even if people hate you, it still sounds tough.

[Because he can't imagine how much Shinjiro had to endure. To know that Ken hated him so deeply back then, the weight on his shoulders must have been difficult.]

But I know. My teammates have told me to not worry too much about what others say. Just focus on school and to not listen to the gossip.

Even if it might be interesting.

[wilder]

[Sorry what's that Ken? He can't hear you. He's too busy BRUSHING. IT. OFF.

In other words, he isn't responding to that first part]

Haha, sounds like your teammates might be onto something with that advice there.

[whatsamada]

[WELL AT LEAST HE TRIED! But now that he is aware that this seems to be a strange habit of his, he'll make a mental note of it.

For now, he'll just narrow his eyes before responding.]

Is that so? Something tells me you're someone who knows a thing or two about gossip.
