[Hmm it's tempting! He does want to ask about the shadow children, but... at the same time, what she's describing sounds a lot like what he's seen in his own history books. And he can't just let the subject drop just yet.]
That sounds like how things were in our world, back when quirks first started manifesting. There was a lot of chaos in society, because people were suddenly questioning what it meant to be human.
Have you ever run into trouble with those people yourself?
so things were like that before in your world too...but everything is fine now?
[It sounds like it from what she's heard but...she just wants to make sure!
Also...hahaha...ha.]
it's kind of hard to avoid them as a special esper. my team and i have had to deal with them...a few times? i think the pr department's the one who's had the most trouble with them.
[Because special espers usually only deal with the extremists.]
that's good. people should be judged for what the person they are not whether they have powers or not.
[Though from what she's heard it seems like his world isn't without some problems...]
yeah. they deal with the ones who sit around writing books and making appearances on tv and stuff.
[...at this point, it feels pointless to try to redirect him away from this topic. Which was fine because she felt like she could be honest with him.]
they just make me so angry because these people think that just because we're espers that we're not people. when i was younger i really just...hated them so much and the feeling could be overwhelming.
but i know now that i don't have to feel that way. people like that aren't worth it and the fact that they think like this is all the more reason i can't sink to their level. because if i do then nothing will change.

Yeah, basically! It took a while, but once people started getting used to quirks and they became more widespread, society eventually accepted them.
So PR handles most of it... was it bad? The ones you had to deal with yourself?
