I used to really hate it when I was little, yaknow. [He explains, just...talking to her now as if she can understand him (which she very much can!)] It manifested one morning right as I was rubbing at one of my eyes, and I ended up cutting myself. Right here.

[He points with his unhardened hand to a small scar above his right eye.]

Didn't want anything to do with it...until I decided I wanted to be a hero. Obviously I had to eventually come around.
