SC 5
It wasn’t like a few punches could seriously hurt me anyway, so it all wrapped up without much incident. The suggestion had failed, though. I couldn’t believe how far gone Moon Seungrok must’ve been—he didn’t even use his abilities, just his fists. Since then, Seungrok’s completely ignored me. If we ran into each other, he wouldn’t even acknowledge me unless he absolutely had to. In those rare cases, he’d give a half-hearted wave out of basic courtesy and walk off. So honestly, I…-

Sugar Cage
Because Ki Sihyeon is the only adult I don’t have to tiptoe around. I don’t have to be careful with him. He treats me like a kid—annoying, but he’s not afraid of me. He’s not weak. Seonwoo, a mental-type S-Class Esper raised under strict surveillance and control at the Center, was trained to suppress all emotion. Even when other Espers hurled insults or lashed…- 1.7 K • New

“Because he's an S-rank Esper with mind-control abilities. He can use self-suggestion to prevent a rampage.” “Even so, isn’t Guiding still necessary? Suggestion is just a temporary trick to fool the brain—it doesn't address the root cause.” “He's the kind of Esper we're not even sure can be Guided. He awakened early, so the first attempt at Guiding came much later. Because of that delay, his powers have been repressed for so long that if you try to Guide him now, it could not only kill…-

Where should I even start with Yoo Sejin? Yoo Sejin was a Guide. And while his Guiding ability was fairly exceptional, he wasn’t anything groundbreaking—just a competent, capable Guide. That level of skill wasn’t exactly common, but it wasn’t rare enough to be noteworthy either. He was simply... a good person. Genuinely kind. Treated everyone equally. But that was exactly why he became special to people like us. Because he treated us—people who weren’t used to that kind of fairness—the…-

SC 2
A young man with a haughty yet elegant demeanor, so composed that it was hard to imagine he had grown up in the slums—the lowest of the low in the outskirts of Central. “You're so young, but you can meet my eyes so directly. Hm? So cute.” To me, he had always been out of reach. At the same time, he was a strange man. After every mission, Ki Sihyeon would drop by the center just to pat my head. Even with the acrid stench of exhaust fumes and a metallic tang clinging to him, his face remained…-

I forced a smile, trying to hide how anxious I felt. “Seonwoo, how are you feeling? If you're okay, would you be able to go on this mission with Sihyeon instead of me?” Yoo Sejin met my gaze gently as he asked. My heart skipped a beat like someone caught doing something wrong—but at the same time, a strange thought crossed my mind. If you took everything beautiful and kind in the world and pressed it all together, you’d probably end up with Yoo Sejin. Everyone liked him. Even I…-

“Woo Seonwoo, want a hug?” The softly sobbing Seonwoo froze. Even as he surrendered his entire breath to the other, Ki Sihyeon asked the question casually, unfazed. His exposed neck, the side of his ear, his battered face—Seonwoo was flushed red all over as he stared at Sihyeon with a twisted gaze. He knew now that a “hug” didn’t just mean a simple embrace. Sejin’s Want me to hold you? came from concern, a different warmth entirely. “You’ll have to get used to it. We’ll…-
