I was born in New Jersey. [ He quickly adds: ] That's on the other side of the country.
[ Hey, he isn't going to expect kids from other countries to know about where everything is on the other side of the world.. It's not like he would have known where the city the kid is speaking of is if Midoriya hadn't specified the prefecture or the distance from Tokyo in the first place. ]
When I was a teenager, my mother's job got transferred to California, so that's when we move out there with the two of us. Been living there ever since, yeah.
[ Even as he's talking rather casually about all this stuff, he's definitely keeping an eye on everyone in the back. Considering the way Midoriya is looking, Daniel thinks it's for the better to just keep talking about this. At least it can give the kid a feeling like he's having a normal conversation, even if he's physically looking everything but normal right now.
And then there's Paul, who seems to be watching him and yet not watching him at the same time. Daniel is half-tempted to ask him where he's from, but considering his brief answer about the slushies, maybe it's better to give that kid some space. Daniel can always try talking to him later, if he would rather stick to himself instead of engage in this moment. ]
I met Johnny when I moved out there too, we were in the same school. [ And Johnny immediately started bullying him...
.. but he'll at least leave that out, because the last thing the kids need is him and Johnny starting to bicker in the front of the car. ]
Some stuff happened, and a few months later we were already fighting each other at the local karate tournament. That was such a long time ago though. I was you guys' age back then. [ Which is saying a lot about how long ago it is. Daniel may not look as old as he is, but he's definitely an old man. ]
