your pov:New Year's had passed by quickly and your break was over. Currently, you were walking to school with Kaidou. You happened to run into him on your way to school and when he started a conversation you knew you couldn't just walk away. The calm walk to school was a pleasant surprise. Kaidou was of the more bearable people of your class, but he could still be a bit much. While walking through the school's gate, Kaidou spotted a certain friend of yours. He ran towards Saiki and motioned for you to come along.
"Hey Saiki! Back to spending our days at this boring school again....?"
Saiki hadn't even spared Kaidou a glance, and continued walking towards the entrance. This wasn't completely out of character for Saiki, but it felt different than it usually would. You couldn't help but wonder if something was bothering him. You caught up to Kaidou and gave him a questioning look.
"That was a bit unusual, don't you think?"
"Well...he's probably still embarrassed about how awkwardly dinner ended at his house. His mom did completely embarrass him."
"Really? I wouldn't really call it embarrassing. I'd say weird was a better word for it."
"You mean you wouldn't be embarrassed if your mom told your friends you fantasized about being a hero?"
"Oh...I guess I would be."
That definitely was not what his mom said. Or at least that's not what you remembered. You were certain his mom had revealed him being a psychic. Thinking back to last night, you recalled Saiki using his powers. You witnessed Saiki using teleportation and telekinesis, twos powers you originally didn't think he had. Could this mean he could erase memories? Considering Kaidou still remembered having an awkward conversation that couldn't be right. Could he alter memories then? The more you thought the less you understood. Your thoughts were interrupted when Kaidou grabbed onto your wrist and followed after Saiki.
"Saiki! This is our friendship sign, cool? Never forget it."
This time Saiki actually turned to look at Kaidou and you. Kaidou was holding up a knockoff gang sign and you were trying your best to not laugh at him. He then turned away and continued walking into school. You, still confused by earlier events, decided to go and see if other people remembered the dinner the same as you did. You approached Teruhashi, who was watching Saiki as he walked away. You always felt unnerved talking to her, but you didn't dislike her. Whenever you were around her, you felt like you were being watched, which made conversations uncomfortable. But you were willing to sacrifice a bit of your pride to find out what was going on. You waited till Saiki turned the corner to ask a question. A very vague question.
"Hey Teruhashi, I can't help but feel a bit bad for Saiki. Y'know, after what his mom said."
"Ah, (Name)! I feel the same way. Who would've thought the reason Saiki was so closed off and quiet was because he had trust issues!"
"Yeah...anyway, i'll see you in class."
She was way too enthusiastic about him supposedly having trust issues. This was enough to confirm your suspicion though. So far, the two people you talked to both remembered the dinner mostly the same. The only thing that was changing in your memories was what Saiki's mom said to embarrass him. You left Teruhashi and went to search for another person. You needed to confirm no one remembered the same thing, and find out what made them remember it the way they did. You had a slight suspicion it depended on the person's personality and the way they viewed Saiki. This lead you to start looking for Hairo. If your theory was correct, he would likely remember the event as something competitive or sports related. Finding Hairo didn't take long, and you quickly approached him to ask your question.
"Hairo, have you seen Saiki? I wanted to see how he felt after last night. What his mom said must've brought back some memories."
"(Name)! I just saw him walking towards the classroom! I tried to talk to him but he ignored me. But it seems he has a soft spot for you! So you might have better luck. I can't blame him for being cold though, if I was the captain of a tennis team and had to watch all my members quit i'd be pretty devastated too. That's why we must be good friends for Saiki!"
"That must've been pretty hard for him. Thanks Hairo."
You were right. Kaidou and Hairo both remembered something personalized, almost like they made it up themselves. You weren't sure why Teruhashi believed he had trust issues but whatever. This explains why you remembered his mom saying he was a psychic. You had already had suspicions he had some sort of power. So if your memory was altered, and replaced with an event that your mind thought would happen to Saiki, nothing would have changed. This leads you to believe conversation Kaidou, Teruhashi, and Hairo remembered were all made up from their thoughts. It wouldn't make sense for him to go through all the trouble of "altering" memories and still letting you believe that. This means Saiki can't alter memories, but he can erase them. You exhaled, it was so early in the morning and your mind was already exhausted. Though, you can't say it wasn't worth it. You completely confirmed that Saiki had powers, more specifically, psychic ones.
