Like hell he’d come crawling back to P.A.N.D.R.A. What had that been, a dream or an actual conversation? (What had that teasing at the end been?) “Andy, I want you.”Īndy awoke alone in the dark in a cheap hotel room, his heart racing. “ I want you back.” Suddenly Hyoubu stood in front of him so close, his hand on Andy’s shoulder and his face close to Andy’s. “You’re probably too pigheaded to return until you figure some things out on your own, but I want you to know that you will always have a place with us, whatever power you do or don’t have. Still, Hyoubu was alive and able-bodied, the important thing.īut Andy had burnt himself and his power out in some ways. Whatever, it worked, and when he came to his left eye had changed color, though it still didn’t match the right, and lost some of its sight. Andy hadn’t wanted him to die, especially not if Yugiri blamed herself for it, and in his desperation he’d done. He’d accepted his death and told Andy to run away with Yugiri, save themselves. Hyoubu’s massive power, recently used in its entirety, had become too much for his weakened body to handle, and it looked like he would go nova with it, killing himself and anyone near him. Hinomiya, if you’re not ‘really’ an esper, how did you save my life on the roof?”Īndy didn’t really know. “‘Neither a normal or an esper.’ ‘Incomplete.’ What stupid people must have been around you most of your life. You’ve learned the error of your ways and proven yourself to P.A.N.D.R.A.
“I know you thought you were doing good but were used and misled by people you trusted. “If I can forgive your betrayal, you should certainly be able to,” Hyoubu said. That violent, murderous act of treachery had turned him against normals. If not for Hyoubu’s immense power, he would’ve remained dead. The U.S.E.I.’s mastermind turned out to be the man who’d betrayed Hyoubu and shot him in the head at the close of World War II, killing him. (And he’d hated them all back for it.) Of course, P.A.N.D.R.A.’s espers had accepted him more after Hyoubu had given him a limiter to turn his ability off and stop the suffering of the espers around him, something he’d never had before. had taken him in and treated him almost like family, something he’d never had before, never belonging anywhere, since normals hated him because he was an esper and espers hated him because his power negated theirs while also inducing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and toothaches. getting hold of her again.)Īndy had helped thwart all of that in the end but couldn’t come to peace with the horrible things he’d helped happen and the worse things that nearly resulted. had created Yugiri to be a powerful weapon against espers and called her an “it,” and his actions had led to the U.S.E.I. Lives lost would just make their anti-esper argument that much stronger. used her to try to create a riot for the same ends. When Andy thwarted that assassination, the U.S.E.I. brainwashed Yugiri and sent her to kill the newly elected mayor of New York City, certain the act would lead to normals rising up against espers to “control” them. When Andy protested, his boss shot him, and only Andy’s limiter stopping the bullet saved his life. Andy’s treachery had led to the destruction of P.A.N.D.R.A.’s home/refuge, some deaths, and the capture of an innocent little girl the U.S.E.I. also saved esper children and other noncombatant espers and turned out to be less murderous and malevolent than the organization, the U.S.E.I., that had recruited Andy. Leader of P.A.N.D.R.A., a terrorist organization of espers Andy had been sent undercover into to stop. Hyoubu Kyousuke, smirking, cocky as hell, one of the most powerful espers alive, who’d been a kid at the beginning of World War II and currently looked like a teenager and wore a school uniform to be snarky, his silver hair the only indicator of his actual age. I need a little more than that,” Hyoubu replied. “A short, vague conversation on a public street, and only after I noticed you sneaking out. Andy turned to face him and said, “I already said goodbye to you and told you my reasons!”
