(24 September 2022: This chapter has been out for a long time but I keep editing it because I see plotholes or better ways to phrase things in this chapter- So if you keep seeing a notification that I updated this chapter, feel free to re-read it!

"That's slightly passive-aggressive." Kyousuke intervened. "Not everything is centered around quirks." I said, my voice lowering near the end to make a more 'irritated tone'.
