[the answer is a little surprising, even if mob's already registered peter seems to really be understanding him here in a way he's not used to. peter's asked questions a lot of people never thought to ask, and didn't say anything about the upsides of this power, unable to see past the use to the struggle of being scared of yourself.
it's just no one's ever related to him before in a way that wasn't kind of bad. maybe serizawa, that's true, serizawa who reminded him so much of peter sometimes. the man who hid in his room and cut himself off from living his life that he missed so much of it, always anxious and jittery but so kind, friendly. not like mogami, who mob doesn't really want to think a lot about right now. no, like serizawa... that made a lot of sense.
he can't help but extend his aura a little to try and sense what peter's talking about. he's never done that before because he's never really thought about it, and sleepers were kind of strange with their energy in general.
what he finds probably isn't as important as reflecting on the words though. peter looks sad (70%, 71%) and mob understands that. he understands all of this so well.]
That... that's it, yes. [they should be scared, they should know, but who would want to isolate themselves that way? it was difficult to know how easy it would be for people to realize they should keep a distance.] People... they can get strange about it too, if they know. Power makes people do weird things. They want it, or they want to test it, and-
And it's scary. [he glances down again. (74%) ] Maybe that's selfish, to be more afraid of that and being alone.
[he does glance up again to say,] I understand why you were. I guess I've been scared to tell you too, since the supernatural seemed like it made you really nervous. I guess I understand why now.
[and a beat, before he really does need to give in and ask peter,] What's inside you?
