This conversation was not struck up at random. Shakti had seen first hand how ridicule of one's difficulty with a language could make someone close in on them self; after all, both his parents had been mocked for their Indian accents. Shakti had seen and heard some of that ridicule being thrown Elpoy's way the previous day, so had decided to just be a comforting, nonjudgmental presence. Shakti's halo was glowing brightly and tilted backwards, a sign that he was in a good mood, and ready to be open and friendly. He brushed back a long strand of golden hair behind his ear. The hair and the halo were pretty clear signs from a young age that he would develop a quirk, since many quirks had physical symptoms. Shakti was super excited for their hands-on hero experience, and just as excited to see New York City. Although Shakti was born and raised in the heart of Silicon Valley, the Big Apple, from what he'd heard, was a different beast. He wondered what mentors they would have, as well as what team he'd be put in. He scanned around the bus, wondering what everyone's quirks were.
