Before Keiichi left, Mike added, with a downcast look on his face "I...I was born with a horribly weak immune system. It was so bad, that I had to spend all my time at home to avoid getting sick. In fact, the only times I ever left my home were to go to the hospital. I...I've been on death's door so many times that I stopped bothering to count, and I'm not even including the times when I was still just a baby. The doctors didn't expect me to live to see my tenth birthday, so when that day came, I saw every day afterwards as a miracle. However, every night I went to bed I was terrified that I wouldn't wake up next morning. I couldn't have any dreams, since I didn't think I would live long enough to fulfill them...I didn't even have a future. Until a few days ago...when I woke up to see a strange information screen in front of me saying that I was fully healed after sleep. For the first time in my life...I was healthy, I could have dreams, and a future. I was told by someone else that if I just ignored this power, that it would go away, but if that happened, then my immune system would go back to being weak, and I'd start to get sick again. As painfully ironic as it is; I'm safer in the Abyss then I am outside it."

After a quick sigh, he continued "I realize that the Abyss is a dangerous place...but at least I can prepare for [i]those[/i] dangers, unlike random illness finding their way into my body. Hell, A few weeks ago, I got HIV from a dirty needle in the hospital. I...I understand if I came across as some kid way in over his head that had no idea how much danger he's in...but as someone who's lived his entire life just hoping to live to see the next day, I understand my mortality far better then you think. Sure, having this power is fun, but that's mostly because I had to become an optimist just to keep myself from being crushed by the sheer hopelessness of my situation. I know that my life is in danger...but at least I'm finally able to fight back, and it's not just for me, but for my parents too. The day we got back the lab results that said I had a clean bill of health......I...I've never seen them that happy before. So please! If this Senshin no Ken is really magic based like it sounds...then I'll do anything not morally wrong to learn it" he finished with a bow
