Hiro cuts across the Hacker Quadrant, headed for Da5id's table.
He recognizes many of the people in here, but as usual, he's surprised and disturbed by the number he doesn't recognize-all those sharp perceptive twenty one-year-old faces.

Looking up the aisle toward Da5id's table, he sees Da5id talking to a black-and-white person.
Despite her lack of color and shitty resolution, Hiro recognizes her by the way she folds her arms when she's talking, the way she tosses her hair when she's listening to Da5id.
