When Niikura began to trail off, Kotetsu put a stop to their little jaunt around the recreational yard. It was hard to collect your thoughts when you were in movement, so it was probably best that he brought them both to a halt for the moment. Even better, none of the patients had ventured much farther from the door than they needed to. They were alone and he was there to be all supportive-like!
"Of course!" Kotetsu told him earnestly. The boy's explanation seemed a bit melodramatic even for a young NEXT, though. He couldn't really imagine what couldn't be taken seriously when Niikura used his powers unless it was something subtle. Or, dare he even think it, much too lethal. If his power was mental, it could be more difficult to believe or want to believe the young man could, for example, injure or read people's thoughts with his mind. Maybe it was something the older man had never seen before.
Still, he needed to remain supportive and encourage the kid not to be afraid! It was nothing to be ashamed of, even if some of the world wanted to believe that.
"I won't laugh or anything, promise! There's no such thing as a bad power! Maybe it seems silly now, but there'll be a day when someone will need help and you will be the only one to fit the bill!" Man, this was going to be a shining moment in this kid's life forever! he would look back fondly on this day, except, well, the kid didn't even know who he was! Ah, well... Next time, he supposed.
