"Is there something I need to know?!" he demands once more, making Touka shake a bit but then her looks turned stern.

She gulps hard.

"Hiro is still on the Sp2 stage" she finally said.

Anzai paled at her words, he remembered the stages when she explained it to him, he couldn't believe his ears.

"He's still mutating," Anzai said, stunned.

"How's that even possible!" He demands.

"We don't know okay... we just have a reason to believe each of the kids is mutating differently in their own way... Hiro's is the Sp2 stage" she explained.

"We?" Anzai said, puzzled.

"Yes, we," Hachiro said walking into the room.

"Hachiro," Touka said with wide eyes, surprised he was here.
