POV: Roman Torchwick

("Non-Canonical Omake")

"Non-canonical omake? What's this, some Neo prank?"

"What is it, Neo?" I pointed to the words hanging in the air. "Something you pulled from those stories you read on the CCT?" I asked.

Neo tilted her head to the side, her face puzzled.

("What are you talking about, Roman?") The words appeared in front of Neo. ("There's nothing there.") She pointed to the spot where the words had disappeared.

"Of course there isn't now, you stopped using your Semblance there." I sighed as I massaged my forehead.

"Roman, I've always wanted to ask, how do you understand the little one so well?" Brat two asked. "Even without her using sign language, you seem to get everything she's trying to convey somehow."

Is this some kind of group joke?

"I just read the words she creates with her Semblance." What a stupid question. "If Neo doesn't show you the words, it's not my fault."

Neo could choose who saw her illusions and who didn't. It's gotten me out of many tight spots in the past.

"Words?" Junior asked confused. "Did you forget to take your meds, Roman?"

("What words, Roman? I can't write with my Semblance, my control is good, but not that good.")

This has to be some kind of joke.

"You're writing that you can't write, by writing?" I pointed to the words in Neapolitan color. "Neo. Your pranks used to be better."

The worried look Neo had was strange. Why that look?

Neo quickly signaled to Junior and handed him her Scroll.

"Roman..." Junior spoke slowly. "Neo isn't using her Semblance. Look here." He handed me Neo's Scroll, which indicated that her Aura was fully charged.

("See? I'm not using my Semblance, otherwise my Aura would drop.") The words formed in front of Neo, her Aura remaining unaffected.

... Have I completely lost it? Is that it, have I gone crazy? … I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow.
