He couldn't sleep. It was weird being in a dorm with so many people. He wasn't really sure about how he felt about it. Maybe he just needed some time to adjust to everything. It just felt much bigger than anything he had ever really known. Chicago was massive. He couldn't believe how so many people could live in one place!

And Paradigm itself, well it was smaller than his old town obviously. But everyone was like him, even the assholes. He was worried about people like Clyde, he was going to cause trouble. And unlike before there were people here that apparently wanted to stop him from handling it.

His right fist slammed into the punching bag as he let out a small grunt. Another. And then
another. Well, he would be ready next time Clyde started shit with him.

Another hard hook.

And he'd be ready when they sent him out to deal with other people like him in the world. Bullies using their abilities to hurt people. To steal. To kill. To torment.

"You look waaaay too angry kid."

Kanon comments from the door frame of the gym before sauntering in and taking a seat on the bench.

"Why so angry?"

The plan was to glance at the voice and shrug it off. But seeing who was talking to him Mike stopped everything he was doing and just kind of gawked. He'd never seen anyone dressed or presenting themselves like that.

She smiles and waves.

"Hi."

Carefully, Kanon rises again and strolls over to the angry kid. She reaches out to pinch his cheeks.

"Why so angry?"

"Hi."

He doesn't move until she pinches his cheeks which seems to snap him out of his haze enough for him to step back and clear his throat.

"Uh, I'm not! Just uh.. working out."

Yeah...

"Liiiiiaaaaar."

She reaches out to tap the tip of his nose with a brief laugh. With a graceful stumble, she hugs the punching bag and leans against it with most of her weight.

"I used to be angry too."

And she still is, usually.

He goes crosseyed for a minute as he looks at his nose before touching it, almost in disbelief that someone just acts like this. WHO WAS THIS PERSON!?

"I'm not angry!"

He didn't sound super convincing, but he also didn't sound angry. At the moment at least.

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Kanon shakes her head briefly in response. A moment passes as she sways back and forth with the bag. She just locks eyes on him in a very judgmental fashion.

"Try again?"

"Try what again?"

He matches her gaze.

"And who are you anyways?"

"I am me, Angry guy."

She noticeably nuzzles the punching bag.

"Relax. Life ain't so bad."

"What?"

What did any of that mean? Why was she cuddling the punching bag? Why did she look like that?

"Okay, I'm lost."

"Good. Be lost and find your happy. No more anger."

She leans against the bag to the point where it spins, causing her to lose her balance and fall.

"Weee!"

"Are you drunk or something?"

He asked squatting down. Or just completely out of it.

"I'm happy."

She reaches up to touch the sides of his face again while laying on the floor, limbs and hair splayed out about her.

"Are you? Or are you angry?"

"I'm... confused."

He was way over his head.

"That's a bit... better!"

She releases his head to blast the ceiling with a twirling vision of the night sky while Pink Floyd seems to play from nowhere.

He takes a step back and glows blue for a moment out of instinct when the blast went off. Though when he saw what was happening the color around him rapidly faded. He didn't have any words.

"Beeee... happy..."

She sends another blast while twirling her hands a Bobby McFerrin's hit plays as his face forms in the clouds.

He opens his mouth to say something, but then quickly closes it. Was this really happening?

She continues to blast the ceiling, the song continuing amidst the additions synth sounds and added bass. Meanwhile the stars twist and spiral into a kalidoscope of neon that change with the beat. Kanon's pupils started to dilate as she watches her work.

Kanon instinctively pulls a pacifier out to suck as she continues for the next 3 minutes of the song.

He goes from confused, to weirded out, to back to confused. Why would they be sucking on a pacifier?

"Huh?"

He managed to get out.

She's totally in a zone as everything away, just staring.

"Mmmmm."

"Are you okay?"

He really wasn't sure.
