Most of them sat back in their chairs, jaws on the floor, and unmoving. Kasumi was blinking repeatedly, pinching her arm to convince herself that she was dreaming. A sharp flash of pain broke her out of her trance, but sent her further into the depths of her thoughts. Her brother was actually a superhero. A real life, super-villain fighting, cat-out-of-tree saving, superhero. Kasumi has adored Spider-Man for a long time, and even looked up to him as a great role model.

Fumiya was always the best, and sometimes only, one to know a lot about the vigilante. It all made sense now, because he was the hero the whole time!

"Holy shit," Shikatori breathed.

"It all makes sense," Mimimi spoke, her voice breathy from shock, her brain running a mile a minute. "Every time there's ever any danger, or some super-villain around, he always disappeared mysteriously, and then a few seconds later, guess who shows up?"

Senta was just as surprised. Peter was a responsible kid, who he thought was simply a little flaky, and a bit of a scaredy cat, from what Minami had told him. To think that he, a boy Minami's age, one of Minami's friends, who was also her savior was going around trying to clean up the city and save people, that put a whole new spin on things.

Mekuto blinked rapidly, rubbing his eyes fiercely as if to dispel the illusion. The screen had been paused at the moment where Fumiya took his mask fully, but he was still unable to accept the fact that a boy had been the cause of endless headaches for their department. He had slowly started liking Fumiya over the time of knowing him. He was just a very intelligent, helpful kid who wanted to make the world a better place. That hadn't changed. What had changed was realizing the extent that he would go to help people.

His assistant, next to him, wasn't better. He still hadn't picked his jaw up from where it had fallen open.

"Oh my," a shuddering voice caught their attention. They looked over to see Mari with a hand over her mouth, terrified shock clearly visible in her tearful eyes.

"MOM" Kasumi, despite her overwhelming shock about her big brother, quickly comes to her mother side to ease her.

"Mari-chan, you need to calm down," Satō whispered in her ear. "Deep breaths, my friend, come on."

"S-Satō," she sobbed, her voice coming out through fierce exhales. "H-he's been t-throwing himself in danger all t-this time. My boy, my baby!"

The entire room started emerging from their shock to witness the lady cry out in pain. It had been one too many shocks for her to take. Knowing that her son had so many secrets wasn't doing her much good, so her best friend crooned in her ear, easing her into a more serene state.

"That's impossible!" Shūji cried out as he stood up. "Spider-man is the coolest, and Tomozaki isn't even popular in school!"

"Yeah," Mizasawa agreed, "because I'm still hung up on the fact that Fumiya is Spider-Man. Spider-Man!"

"So, Tomozaki is Spider-man...cool" Takei said with his normal smooth tone despite his shock.

"I have Spider-Man posters in my room," Tama spoke, her eyes barely blinking in shock. "Posters, of my friend, who's actually been in my room!"

Her friends and classmates, beside her, all desperately trying to take their mind off the mind-boggling fact that one of their classmates was a superhero! Aoi just patted her friend on the back, being in a similar situation to her.

Mimimi blinked rapidly, stifling the tears threatening to fall out of her eyes. She was hurt that Fumiya hadn't told her about his activities. Did he think she would disapprove? She had always vocally voiced her support, admiration and love for Spider-Man, even in front of him, they have also been through a lot of things together. Why didn't he trust her?
